Music for retail groups and chains, across every site

One store, one license. Forty stores, forty separate bills.

Each store runs its own music stream, its own ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR tariff and its own streaming subscription. Multiply that across every location and the traditional route becomes an administrative and financial burden. Here is how Melodial Plus replaces it with one platform and flat per-stream pricing.

Every site is its own license, and the bill climbs with every one you open.

Each store typically runs one music stream, and each stream needs its own ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR tariff plus its own streaming subscription. Larger format stores can attract higher tariffs still. Then it all repeats at the next location.

Melodial Plus replaces the whole stack with one platform, central control of every site, and a single flat price per stream regardless of store size.

Common questions from retail groups and chains

How does Melodial Plus pricing work for a retail chain?
Per stream. Most stores run a single music stream, so one Plus license per store. Plus is $13.99/month (or $139.99/year) per stream, with ads, scheduling and multi-user permissions included, and no separate ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR fees.
Can store or regional managers control their own store?
Yes. Plus includes multi-user permissions. Set brand guidelines and schedules centrally, then give each site or manager the access you choose.
Can you create a signature sound for our brand across every site?
Yes. Melodial Curated builds a bespoke playlist around your brand and refreshes it regularly across every Plus stream. Melodial Custom goes further with fully original composed music. Talk to Sales to scope either.
Beyond licensing

In retail, sound is positioning.

What plays on the shop floor tells customers what your brand is before they touch a product: premium or budget, current or classic. Chains that treat sound as deliberately as visual merchandising build recognition and dwell time in every store.
