We partner with department store retailers to build unique audiovisual experiences that amplify your brand and deliver results.
Our background music for department stores, along with our dynamic digital signage – helps build brand affinity and deeper connections with your shoppers, all while supporting your objectives. And with a branded atmosphere, they'll remember the experience long after they've left the store.
Use our Studio suite to control the audiovisual output across your stores from a single intuitive platform - delivering a consistent and recognisable customer experience.
Music affects our mood, perceptions and behaviours. Getting your soundtrack spot on not only impacts the choices of your shoppers in-store, it can also influence how they perceive your brand long after, and inspire happy and productive employees.
Branded atmosphere - curated playlists are tailored to your department store, from energetic tracks in busy Christmas periods, to slow and sophisticated songs that soundtrack premium purchases. Your store's background music won't just be 'good enough', it’ll be part of your brand-building activity.
Sounds with substance - our music curation process utilises a robust, academic model that was specifically designed to help brand professionals understand the types of music that align with their values and operational goals.
Match the mood - our multi-million-track library, alongside our Atmosphere Monitoring solution, means your music can adjust to the in-store vibe at all times. So, shoppers enjoy a seamless experience during calm weekday mornings, weekend browsing and more.
With so many brands and types of products in department stores, the possibilities with your impactful visuals is endless. Give your products, and brand, the promotion they deserve with our digital signage solution.
Use our user-friendly platform Studio to schedule your branded video and image assets, from stunning video walls on the outside of stores, to screens in high dwell areas like your queues showcasing your latest marketing campaigns.
Capture customers - in-store signage is engaging, visual, and gets in front of shoppers who are ready to buy. It's a great way to reinforce your brand messaging, and can even be synchronised with your audio solutions to really seal the deal.
It's science - studies show that digital signs can reduce frustration and perceived wait times during busy queues. It also helps with brand recall and return custom.
Brand building - not only does branded signage keep happy customers returning to your stores, but our intelligent software displays (almost) anything you want. It's the perfect platform for showing off the latest lines and other branded content.
Intuitive, granular, and adaptable - easily replicate a perfectly curated branded atmosphere across an entire department store estate, all from a single platform with Startle Studio.
With Studio, you can tailor music to different trading patterns across multiple locations and store zones simultaneously, using our drag-and-drop scheduling tool, all powered by our Startle Player.
All of our services are backed by our Relentless Support™, and we'll provide all the hardware you need - no store is too big, or too small.
Set your store's opening and closing hours, schedule your volume and EQ levels, manage granular permission levels, and control your audio and visual branding solutions in one place.
