In-store overhead messaging and advertising is a valuable advertising medium that grows sales

Whilst your customers are within your store you have a great opportunity to add an additional advertising channel without overloading existing in store banners and visual displays.

Whilst your music choice is there to help make your clients feel good about spending time with your business you can also use in store audio advertising to offer up today’s special offers or work with suppliers to promote new product launches.

You adverts (or ‘jingles’) can be used across all your retail areas, or just select specific areas where you want to target clients. For example, your cosmetics isles may have a new product launch that you want to direct customers from the baby section towards with a free product give away.

So in this way, you can increase the footfall to certain areas and grow sales by cross selling these products.

Setting times for adverts to be played gives you an additional dimension to the audio advertising medium. By segmenting your customers by time of day they visit you will know what products have higher sales at certain times of the day.  Downloading your report that lists when audio files were played and correlating this to your sales figures by locations and demographic data can uncover positive sales results you can then roll out to all of your locations.

Up selling and cross selling with those products by playing adverts at specific times of the day can grow sales
