Brand Fit Music Impact
Marc Gobe, author of “Emotional Branding” believes the sense of hearing can and should be used to create brand loyalty and that music has an important part to play – in setting up this full experience.
An international study showed that businesses with music that fits their brand identity are 96% more likely to be remembered than those with ill-fitting music or no music at all. *
The survey also revealed that appreciated music makes almost 4 out of 10 customers stay longer in a store. Further, 31% of all people return, 21% recommend the business to others and 14% also say they buy more. In other words, music is very important to business.
