Music programs

The instore.fm™ concept consists of the music programme, which – tailored to the image of your brand – creates a pleasant atmosphere in your shops. Complementary jingles and commercials refine the music carpet into the perfectly fitting instore radio.

Music profile

Music has been our core competence for 15 years. Our music editors monitor your music programme and constantly develop it further – fully adapted to your brand. Our music database contains around one million titles from a wide range of styles.

We have good relationships with artists and the music industry, which means we can play the best music when you hear it on ‘conventional’ radio. Because we love music!

Branding elements and announcements

Your station IDs and jingles complement the music mix specially compiled for your company. This turns the music carpet into your brand’s unique, unmistakable in-store radio.

You integrate announcements and commercials into the programme according to your needs. You place your messages directly at the point of sale and stimulate sales in a targeted manner. We advise you on both content and form and, if required, also take over the production.
