What we can do for you

Retail Radio

Presenter shows, messaging and music, all created bespoke to your site.

Retail Radio

Our retail radio service broadcasts presenter shows, messaging and music directly into stores 365 days a year, to engage and inform your customers and colleagues.

Retail radio is the perfect way to speak to customers in store, with the added advantage of motivating colleagues while they work. Just like on a National Radio station, presenter shows sit alongside your playlist and advertising messages, playing at specified times of day.

Shows are created bespoke to the in-store environment, combining a balance of brand stories with general sense of day content aligning with seasonal trends and customer footfall. We offer both live and ‘as live’ services to ensure the utmost quality control over the content shared in stores.

FAQs

In-store radio follows the same format as a commercial radio station, with presenter shows, interspersed with music and messaging. The prime difference between in-store radio and a National radio service is that all of the in-store content is created bespoke to the brand and the products on sale within the store. The in-store radio platform, is the perfect space to share brand stories, promotional advertising messages and inform customers of products or services, enabling brands to speak to customers while they are at point of purchase.

Digital menu boards are an ideal way of communicating product ranges, prices and promotions to customers. Benefits include: Digital menu boards are an ideal way of communicating product ranges, prices and promotions to customers. Benefits include:

In-store radio advertising plays a different role to standard above the line advertising as the customer is already in situ and in a position to make an instant purchase. There are several elements that contribute to successful in-store radio advertising, including:
  • Keep the message single minded
  • Stick to a maximum of 30 seconds (around 90 words)
  • Single product promotions work best, unless products complement each other
  • Avoid including URLs, phone numbers or any complicated call to action
  • Minimise terms and condition, where possible direct to a website

Imagesound really get under the skin of what our soundtrack is all about.

imagesound, Dominos

Imagesound + Domino’s

“We’ve been working with the team at Imagesound to get their sound systems & music players installed in all our new stores and refit stores when they come up. Imagesound have been very helpful at every stage of the way, from the initial conversations around how the systems work right through to working with our shop fitters to ensure our stores are opening/re-opening with music. Thanks to their playlists updating every month to a specified music profile there is no extra admin or work involved once the system is in and the licences are in place, and it’s creating a better working environment and customer experience.”
