Offering businesses a complete media solution for their needs

June 19, 2015 by Guy Lewis

Managing traditional multiple music licenses, per location with varying location needs is costly, complex and takes a lot of time management.

I recently was in discussion with a number of artists about how they felt that they were gaining little for their music when licensed at some locations online.

I believe the way forward, and what is more useful for businesses needing music, is to have all resources integral to a production process.

So, for example, take a business niche that is looking to promote themselves online

They would need a range of content and help to get a promotion completed. Rather than looking out across the internet for all the components from a range of sources, if they could create the work more effectively without having to search for each component thus avoiding time searching through the different libraries (in this case) and different ways of purchasing.

Whilst businesses such as AudioBlocks ($99 for unlimited downloads) and even small TV channels now using royalty free music I believe there are some opportunities to make repeatable earnings from content artists can produce by leaving the commodity side of the business to race itself to the bottom and go the route of offering higher value services for which music licensing is part of the whole solution to businesses.

Black Friday Looming; How Are You Going To Relax Your Customers?

November 24, 2014 by Guy Lewis

How will you relax your customers as they browse?

With Black Friday looming within a few days most consumer focused businesses are wondering how to not only maximise sales revenue but also to quite simply survive the day!

As we all know, consumers will be tense, they now have their last pay packet in their bank before the last few days of Christmas and they have a lot to do to be prepared. There are only two routes, get ahead of the crowd or be one of the last and gather up what is left on the shelves at the last moment.

We do put a lot of tension on ourselves to provide a great Christmas for all our loved ones and so helping consumers through Black Friday and the subsequent weekends is going to make a real difference to how well your business performs.

With some businesses finding that that the festive season accounts for as much as a third of their annual income it’s clear to see how critical these few days are within the year.

So with the understanding that relaxed customers will stay longer and are more likely to spend more in your business it is critical you provide relaxing music that evokes calm in your customers. Festive music is likely to get them in the mood for Christmas but if you play the same tracks they have heard in every store they have visited they maybe inspired to spend less time in yours.

With Melodypods, you can mix festive music with relaxing music. You can even choose relaxing festive music to play just for the festive period.

Real competitive edge comes from using services that offer businesses a way to present their uniqueness.

Standard services rarely offer businesses this opportunity so the more standard services are used as part of a business the more the business looks and feels just like any other.

This is why we at Melody Pods worked hard to open up our libraries of music. Unlocking them from restrictive stream orientated services enabled us to offer customers real choice and flexibility.

The choice to decide for themselves what is the best music for their business, not what is the best fit for them from a selection of generic music channels that at any minute could serve up a piece of music that is completely inappropriate to their clients.

The flexibility to create playlists that represent their brand in reception areas as well as representing services and experiences that would enhance the definition of a service and be part of the connection a client has with a positive experience that draws them back regularly.

The control to decide that a piece of music works so well for them that a business can choose to keep it indefinitely whilst changing any other music when ever they want and how ever regularly they need to.

Melody Pods provides unprecedented choice, flexibility and control in delivering music selected for background music use in businesses.

We offer our services at prices that don’t hang back on traditional methods of business music licensing as we are fully able to break those last brick walls down of traditional licensing, proprietary hardware resellers and satellite generic music channels.

Clients who are keen and would like a try out first and give us feedback on how this music works within their relaxation business are offered a free month subscription. Choose one of the Relaxation Music packages with the Ambient Music Garden brand and use the coupon code “RelaxTesters1” (don’t add the “”) and you can download and play this music in your business for a full month at no charge and with no need to pay any additional performing rights licenses (which is always the case with our music anyway).

Relaxation Music packages are located at: http://www.melodypods.com/get-music/cart/index/index?c=14

Offer applies before the 7th of November. If you would like to extend the period using the music you can purchase a subscription. Nearer the time we will offer clients special offers to to extend further.

Consolidate your client’s unwieldy multi-location music license legacy

August 11, 2014 by Guy Lewis

Managing traditional multiple music licenses, per location with varying location needs is costly, complex and takes a lot of time management.

Managing all your client’s technology related costs means you add real value to their business. But it means you have got to find better ways to manage the same things they would, but in a cheaper and more efficient way.

You have to invest in manhours calculating and managing multiple licenses per location plus having to manage renew dates and payments alongside migrating clients across to your corporate licensing agreement with all the PROs in town.

With new locations and closures and moves of existing, this role becomes full time.

But out the value goes beyond the components, taking the pain away from an organisation that wants to focus on their core makes this worth more.

Now add distruptive technology and turn it on its head. Take a cost and pain away and return with a proposition that provides your client with competitive advantage and you with increased client vale and increased margin with Melody Pods.
