In-Store Radio: 200M Potential Fans
We will explore the impact of in-store radio on customer's shopping experiences and how this exposure can lead to fan acquisition for emerging acts. Over 200 Million people hear in-store radio everyday (music at malls, shops, restaurants, hotels, etc) - that's 2/3 of the population of the US. These retail playlists reach a captive audience (no one can turn the channel) and people use apps like Shazam to discover new artists. We will discuss success stories, challenges, licensing/legal, programming and more about this channel which often goes neglected in a label or artists' outreach plan.
