Music On Hold

Sell our music! Increase sales! Make more profit!

The demand for Concept/Theme inspired music and audio through non traditional stores is continuing to increase at an ever faster pace. In a recent industry study of the most requested gift categories, music ranked number five out of a list of seventeen. More than half the music buying public are Baby Boomers, the same generation least likely to shop in a record store for their music needs. Music made available to the 35-54 year old adult is very successful as it taps into a captive audience that is not being properly addressed by the mainstream record stores.

Global Sounds Music and Audio CD's offer the very best selling and most comprehensive selection of original CD's in the United States. Our high quality music is composed and performed by leading professional musicians and artists. Our products start with a marketing concept and/or a current theme/trend. For example our collection of Wellbeing CD's started life with experts on each subject from Yoga to Meditation developing twelve page guide booklets as CD sleeves and then working with the artists/musicians to interpret the concept in music.

Playing and selling music is a wonderful and profitable way to expand your product offerings, find new opportunities to cross- merchandise, create add-on sales and turn your store into a valuable source for music not found in traditional music outlets.

What is the best way to sell Global Sounds music?

With such a diverse range of categories, including; Well Being, Spa, World Music, Celtic, Nature, Childrens, Dinner Party, Indigenous Great Britain, Unique,
Zodiac and Concept titles, retailers can choose the titles that best suit their customer profile. There are numerous merchandisers in all different shapes and sizes, and stock packages to suit all budgets. Graphic panels feature each stores individual album selection and can also feature; company logo, website details or special offers.

Interactive Merchandisers are supplied free on loan, displaying and promoting the CD's in a very visual way in store and enabling customers to hear a sample of the music title before purchase. Our market research confirms that this
increases sales by a ratio of four to one over just displaying CD's on shelves. The merchandiser is the ultimate sales and marketing tool, they offer personal customer service and attractive presentation as well as building brand awareness and providing in-store entertainment- all in a single unit!

Extra advantages! Avoid PRS/ASCAP/BMI!

The majority of the music tracks on Global Sounds CD's are owned outright by the company. As both copyright and publication rights owners, retailers playing and selling only Global Sounds music in store are exempt from paying for a public performance license. To retail store owners this represents a significant saving, especially for multiple site owners.

How do I keep my customers interest throughout the year?

At seasonal/promotional times or at least a minimum of 2-3 times per year we suggest a review of the sales of current titles. As we introduce new titles/seasonal titles throughout the year any slower selling titles can be replaced by new releases. A new graphic panel and MP3 chip will be produced, again, totally free of charge. This keeps the music selection fresh and exciting for the retailer and the customers as well as seasonally changing with annual promotional periods. In this way many of our retailers have been continuously selling our products for over 5 years.

Special projects/own label production

Global Sounds is an independent music publisher. Because we are not a major label and own both copyright and publication rights to the vast majority of our music library, we are able to produce own label products through our special projects team. We have produced many own label CD's for large multiple groups, large tourist/heritage sites and for a diverse range of commercial clients requiring promotional, incentive and business to business products. From concept to production can take as little as 5 weeks and costs are negotiable on quantity (minimum 500 units per design) and product brief/ packaging requirements. All graphic design can be done through our in- house design department and is free of charge. We are happy to quote on any projects please contact us for further details.

Licensing

We also produce music tracks and catalogues suitable for licensing. Many TV, Film and Radio Production Companies use Global Sounds Music as sound tracks and sound bites. Our music is also used in Theatre and Stage productions. Please contact us for further details.

Music On Hold

MOH is a source of revenue for PRS/ASCAP. Any company playing MOH on their company telephone system has to pay an annual license fee to PRS/ASCAP. As we own the rights to our music we can allow commercial customers to use our music for MOH systems, with no fees payable to PRS/ASCAP. You may order a CD(s) at the trade price to use in the system. Please contact us for further details.
