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

August 11, 2014 by Guy Lewis

multiple ASCAP BMI SESAC MCPRS PPL

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.

Are you getting the best deal outsourcing your music supply and licensing?

June 26, 2014 by Guy Lewis

Is your outsourcer costing you a fortune with multiple license administration?

Outsourcing a lot of your non core business functions is a tried an tested way for businesses to lead in their markets and avoid distractions of functions they believe can be achieved better from an outsourcing specialist.

Whilst background music is known to be a key marketing asset for businesses the actual licensing and delivery of defined music collections can be complex and with traditional methods create a lot of administrative time to be resourced.

So whilst businesses outsource the supply and licensing against their defined needs the actual cost of the licensing and accuracy of the music collections against your music design blueprint may be significantly under-performing.

Take for example, Melody Pods’ wholesale licensing agreement.

With our wholesale license you can add, remove and move locations on a monthly location with no longer term contract penalties.

Not only will the Melody Pods wholesale license reduce the overall cost of licenses per year, it reduces your outsourced administration costs as there will be far less paperwork administrating to do. Simply report to us your locations for the next month and we will ensure all out music is licensed for those locations.

Even though our solution is simple and affordable, Melody Pods can turn your cost centre into profit generating by helping you manage the delivery of your branded background music.

Added to this the supply of remastered music collections to meet your defined music needs an you will see significant savings straight away.

Lastly yet not least important is that we can deliver your music to all your locations with our music distribution and playing system. Each location logs in using the Melody Pods music sync and download player, downloads the selected music collections and plays all day. Music is stored locally so you aren’t reliant on an uncongested LAN or uncontested broadband connection for permanently connected internet radio stations, no aerials and wiring permission required from landlords.

Control the music your locations play centrally, create playlists for different times of the day and for as many zones as you wish.

The Melody Pods solution covers all the needs of background music sourcing, licensing and music distribution.

Your outsourcing partner needs to know about the Melody Pods innovation in background music. Contact us today and we can talk to them about how to get the solution integrated into your outsourced location services.

Melody Pods Shows Telcos The Way To Reduce Licensing And Administration Costs Whilst Improving Customer Service And Compeitiveness

June 23, 2014 by Guy Lewis

 

Turn that growing cost centre into a profit centre by getting a multi-site license from Melody Pods

Turn that growing cost centre into a profit centre by getting a multi-site license from Melody Pods

A bold statement? When can a music technology business show telecoms & IT service providers a better way to deliver and manage technology?

When it comes to delivering world class music we certainly can.

Melody Pods has embraced new business methods and technology that blow away the traditional ways for licensing and delivering music to businesses worldwide.

Reduce the costs of licensing: Use Melody Pods sourced, licensed and mastered music. Our music is pre-cleared for use as background music in commercial environments and we pay all royalties directly to the artists so there is no extra cost involved with performing rights societies for the artists and for you. This efficient way of paying the right artists with the right royalties is something the performing rights societies can not achieve with commercial background music in business. But we can so we know what is being played by our clients earns for the owner of the music. This efficiency means we cost you less for the same service using our music library.

Reduce costs of administration: let clients choose their own music, avoid having to change playlists on their behalf. Let them simply un-tick tracks they feel don’t meet their needs rather than having to request a playlist change for everyone

Reduce the time you spend managing your client’s multiple licenses per location. Before you even pay these costs and see the cash leave your business with no profit earned you know you will be paying for staff to administer all of these licenses. With annual licensing the norm there is a bit of inflexibility added to the situation but your main cost could still be the administration people resources required to keep on top of these licenses, either as a central role or passed over to busy local managers.

Focus your teams instead on marketing the new music and working with clients to brand music playlists to better suit their client bases, creating reception and welcome music playlists, either using their existing technology such as iLink players, or where new locations are being built, use the Melody Pods players for both reception welcome music and personal and zone areas music.

 Melody Pods’ music delivery service is fast and regular

Our pace of technical development leaves the traditional technologies used for background music and music on hold systems lagging behind customer requirements.

With good channels of feedback we can have new features distributed to client’s within days. We can deliver developments on a generic and to suit market segments.

And finally, reduce your costs further with a wholesale licenses agreement

Yet whilst for the US you will be looking at 3 licenses and in the UK, 2, if you subscribe to one of our music delivery services you can be assured of a simple monthly rolling fee with no long term commitments and no complex range of licenses to also keep managed. We manage all usage revenues (ie royalties) because we know who is playing what music and pay artists direct as they contract us directly rather than via a rights society to collect for the music they sign into our library.

If you are a service provider looking to cover all costs of music for your enterprise clients then your headache is solved with Melody Pods. But what about multiple ownership networks such as cooperatives and franchises?

How can you offer a group discount without risking being loaded with high administration costs of multiple business license agreements ?

Again, just bring the problem to us and reduce not only your licensing costs but also your administrative costs. Depending on what service suits your service design for your client one way or another we will have enough details to assign the right royalties to the right artists for direct, simple and efficient payments.

Please get in contact today and tell us about your needs.

Are you paying costly PRO licenses for all of your client’s locations?

June 2, 2014 by Guy Lewis

The costs of PRO licenses can add up and cut margins for service providers.

The cost of PRO licenses can add up to a noticeable cut in margins for service providers. There are cheaper and better ways to get great music for your clients.

If you are a service provider offering telecom and data services as a complete bundle there is good reason to want to make sure you cover all the costs for your services. Offering a complete one stop shop outsourced service means you hold more value to your clients who hand over more of their non core activities to you.

Signing multiple license agreements for different locations costs service providers a lot in administration manpower.

Yet paying and managing the purchase of multiple license agreements over many locations costs service providers a lot in license fees administration manpower. Add to this the complexities of dealing with multiple owner franchise businesses and you’ve got yourself a costly component of your outsource solution.

The traditional background music licenses you need to purchase from performing and compositon rights societies is only part of the total cost of service delivery yet this too can add up when multiplied over many networked locations.

Alternatively, you can speak to us at Melody Pods about a wholesale license agreement using our massive music resources that avoid these license requirements simply because we don’t assign performing or composition license societies to our music for us. We know where our music is played and apportion royalties to the artists directly at a far cheaper and efficient way.

So if you are looking for some extra margin, and great music with regular ‘on the clock’ updates from a business that’s been supplying regular flows of music to businesses since 2007 let’s a chat to us today.
