Music signals the price before the price tag does
A shopper reads a store's price segment within seconds, and sound plays into that as much as lighting and merchandising. French house and modern minimalism read as premium, while popular radio reads as mass market, regardless of what's hanging on the racks.
It works both ways: if a store is affordable but the music is pointedly refined, the visitor feels the mismatch and tenses up. The mix has to match what you sell.
The fitting room is where people decide to buy
In a fitting room a person is alone with themselves and the garment, and that's where the decision gets made. Loud music at that moment rushes them, and silence makes the pause awkward, especially when you can hear what's happening in the next stall.
What works is a quiet, calm background, separate from the floor. In Harmonia fitting rooms can be set up as their own zone from $4/mo on top of the location.
Its own music in every zone
In a clothing store the floor and the fitting rooms do different jobs, and separating them is the first thing to do.
| Zone | What plays | Volume |
|---|---|---|
| Shop floor | French house, indie pop, nu-discoSets the price segment and the browsing pace | Noticeable background |
| Fitting rooms | Acoustic indie, calm loungeThis is where the decision is made, no rushing | Quiet background |
| Window display area | 80s synth-pop, summer shoppingWorks for passers-by at the entrance | Noticeable background |
| Checkout | ChillhopDoesn't get in the way of conversation or processing a return | Quiet background |
No PRO fees for our music
A typical background-music service gives you tracks by well-known artists. The rights to those tracks belong to labels and songwriters, so a store may also have to deal with a performing rights organization (PRO), such as ASCAP or BMI in the US, PRS for Music in the UK or SOCAN in Canada, on top of the subscription.
Harmonia works differently. Our catalog is original music produced for business use, and a public-performance license for your venue is included in the subscription. Our tracks are not registered with PROs such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS, SOCAN, APRA AMCOS or GEMA, so playing music from our catalog does not create PRO fees for that music.
Launch within one business day
Send an application and we approve it within a business day. After that, the music plays on the devices you already have in the store: a POS terminal, tablet, laptop or a mini-PC with a speaker.
Staff don't have to pick anything each morning. Playlists and the schedule are set once, then the music starts by itself and doesn't repeat during a shift. For a chain, everything is managed centrally, by location and zone, from one account.
How much it costs
One plan, no bundles and no extra fees for genres or devices. The price depends only on the number of locations and zones.
$12per month for the first location, billed annually
Catalog, player, schedule, subscription agreement and license certificate. $144 a year, or $17/mo billed monthly
$7for each additional location
A chain is managed from one account. $84 a year, or $12/mo billed monthly
$4for a separate zone
Its own playlist and schedule for a separate room. $48 a year, or $5/mo billed monthly
Prices are per month when billed annually, which is the cheapest option. Monthly billing is available and costs more. After your application is approved, we send an invoice or a payment link. Full plan terms
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay PRO fees for music in a clothing store?
Not for our catalog. Every Harmonia track is original music produced for business use and is not registered with PROs such as ASCAP, BMI, SOCAN, PRS for Music, APRA AMCOS or GEMA. You pay only the subscription, and it includes a public-performance license for your venue.
What music suits a boutique?
French house, modern minimalism, boutique classical and boutique jazz: formats that read as premium. The main rule is that the mix should match the store's price segment, otherwise the visitor feels a mismatch.
How much does music for clothing stores cost per month?
From $12/mo per location when billed annually ($144 a year). Monthly billing is $17/mo. Each additional location in the same company is cheaper: $7/mo billed annually or $12/mo billed monthly. A separate zone with its own playlist is $4/mo billed annually or $5/mo billed monthly. There are no hidden fees for genres or devices.
Can I play Spotify or Apple Music in a clothing store?
No. Personal accounts on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music are licensed for personal, non-commercial listening only, and their terms of service forbid playing them in a business. Music in a public space counts as public performance, which a personal subscription does not cover. You need either a public-performance license from the rights organizations in your country or a catalog that is licensed for business use, like ours.
Can I play separate music in the fitting rooms?
Yes, and for clothing it's the most useful scenario. Fitting rooms are set up as their own zone with a quieter, calmer background. A zone costs from $4/mo on top of the location.
What do I show during a music licensing inspection?
Two documents: your subscription agreement with Harmonia and the license certificate (PDF) issued for each location. The certificate confirms that the venue holds a public-performance license for our catalog. If a rights organization contacts you, write to legal@harmonia-b2b.com and we will help you with the paperwork.
What happens if I play unlicensed music in a clothing store?
Playing music publicly without the right license can lead to claims and fines from performing rights organizations (PROs). The rules and the amounts depend on the country. A subscription to a catalog that includes a public-performance license removes this risk for the music you play from it.
What if I run a chain of stores?
Each location is connected separately: the first from $12/mo, every additional one from $7/mo when billed annually. Playlists and schedules are set centrally from one account, so staff on site don't have to configure anything.
