How To Choose Background Music For Your Business

A practical guide to selecting the right genre, volume, and licensing approach for any commercial space.

Choosing background music for a business starts with understanding your customer's emotional state. A spa needs calm and minimal; a cafe needs warm and inviting; a retail store needs present but unobtrusive.

Match energy levels to your venue: low-stimulation environments like wellness centers need music under 0.35 energy, while retail and cafes can handle up to 0.60. Avoid anything with strong vocals in treatment or service areas.

The simplest approach is a commercial music platform with venue-specific presets. Select your business type, adjust energy and mood sliders, and generate a playlist that fits your space — all with proper licensing included.
