    I save retail and hospitality businesses money on the cost of playing music. Business Owner | Background Sounds ~ The royalty-free music streaming platform 🎶

    So this happened yesterday, our first company photo shoot for Background Sounds 🤩 I headed off early morning to the gorgeous Ouseburn area of Newcastle to meet with Grant Thompson and the super talented Rachel McClumpha 📸 With awesome backdrops like these and with Rachel behind the camera I can’t wait to see the photos. Shout out to Suzy Stanton who recommended Rachel. You were right, she is awesome 😊 #brandphotoshoot #businessowner #ouseburn #newcastle #northeast

    If you’re an employer, creating a working environment that encourages your teams to do their best work is vital to boost morale and have a productive workforce. Many things influence how well we work such as lighting, facilities, atmosphere, and feeling valued and supported. Some of these things can be costly. Such as making improvements to your facilities, but one that can come with a low price tag and help to increase productivity is playing background music 🎵 Music not only has a positive impact on the way your teams work, but it also helps to give your clients and customers a better experience. 👉 Here's how... 𝟭. 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 Work-related stress can reduce both morale and output. Luckily, research shows that calming music lowers cortisol levels, the stress hormone, which leads to a more relaxed team. Consider playing instrumental or nature-inspired tracks in common areas or break rooms to support a positive work environment. When employees feel calm, their productivity and morale improve. 𝟐. 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 Background music serves as “white noise” that helps block out office chatter and other distractions, enhancing concentration. Playing moderate-level music has been shown to improve memory and cognitive performance. Think of a fast-paced restaurant: soft instrumental music can help employees focus on orders. A high-volume or high-tempo playlist could have the opposite effect, creating distraction instead of focus. 𝟑. 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 For team members in retail and hospitality, especially those who are on their feet all day, energy can dip quickly. Fast-tempo or upbeat music can provide a much-needed boost, helping employees stay alert and engaged during long shifts. Use energetic music strategically, such as during the busiest times of the day or towards the end of a shift to help your team tackle tasks efficiently. 👉 Let us know if you're already using music to motivate your staff in the comments! #motivation #hospitality #retail

    We talk to a LOT of business owners who are keen to harness the power of background music. But... They are unable to justify the cost of a PRS PPL Music Licence. Many search for a PRS PPL loophole and find us and they are delighted we can help them 🤩 Royalty-free music is a superb (and legal) alternative to paying PRS PPL for a music licence. 👉 The quality is great 👉 You get a fully managed background music service 👉 It costs a LOT less than a music licence to use our service. Typically businesses save a minimum of 50% when compared to buying a music licence (often more!) Our annual subscription is £150 (+vat) per site and you get full, unlimited access to our playlist library (that's regularly updated). #businessownertips #businessowneradvice #costsaving

All that's left to do is select your music and press play ▶️ Of course, if you need music to stream in your business check us out 😉 You can stream over 50 playlists in your business via our digital streaming platform (including Christmas 🎄) #musicstreaming #retail #hospitality #gym #beauty #coffeeshop #cafe #restaurant
