Create a Custom In-Store Retail Radio Network for Your Business
Your store’s atmosphere drives sales, so why let a generic streaming app control it? Stop subjecting your customers to competitor ads or repetitive playlists. With our in-store retail radio hosting, you can build a 100% custom, automated background music network that perfectly matches your brand and plays your own promotional announcements.
Control the Vibe & Eliminate Competitor Ads
Using free consumer streaming services (like Spotify or Pandora) in a commercial environment isn’t just a legal gray area—it hurts your business. If a competitor buys an ad on that platform, it plays directly to your customers over your speakers.
Zero Third-Party Ads
Your custom radio station is a closed loop. The only advertisements, jingles, or announcements your customers will ever hear are the ones you approve.
Curate the Perfect Atmosphere
Upload your own MP3s to create custom playlists that fit your specific brand identity, whether that’s high-energy EDM for a gym or acoustic jazz for a coffee shop.
100% Automated 24/7
Your staff shouldn’t be playing DJ. Our cloud AutoDJ runs in the background 24/7. Just turn on the receiver in the morning, and the music plays flawlessly all day.
Schedule Custom In-Store Promotions & Announcements
Turn your overhead speakers into a powerful marketing tool. Our AzuraCast-powered control panel acts as your automated store manager.
Automated Ad Breaks
Easily schedule a pre-recorded announcement (e.g., “Don’t forget to check out our 50% off clearance sale in Aisle 4!”) to play exactly every 30 minutes, or at specific times of the day.
Dayparting
Automatically shift the music style based on the time of day. Schedule relaxed, upbeat music for the morning rush, and transition to high-energy tracks for the afternoon.
Manage Multiple Locations from One Dashboard
Are you running a franchise or a chain of stores? Our Cloud Plans give you master Admin access, allowing you to manage the audio for every single location from one centralized dashboard.
Unified Branding
Broadcast the exact same stream to 50 different store locations simultaneously.
Localized Streams
Create separate stations for different regions. Play specific localized ads for your New York locations while streaming a different set of promos to your Florida stores.
FAQ
Q: Do I need to buy special hardware to play this in my store?
A: No proprietary hardware is required! You can play your custom radio stream using any device connected to the internet—a standard PC, a tablet, an iPad, or a smartphone—plugged directly into your store’s existing amplifier or speaker system.
Q: Can I schedule store announcements to play automatically?
A: Yes. Our built-in AutoDJ allows you to upload recorded announcements, ads, or jingles and schedule them to play at exact intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes) or at specific times of the day.
Q: Can I have different music playing in different store locations?
A: Yes. With our Cloud Admin access, you can create multiple unique radio stations under one account. This allows you to have a high-energy station for your gym location, and a relaxed station for your spa location, all managed from a single login.
Q: Will the music stop if our store’s internet blips?
A: Because your custom station is hosted on our secure cloud servers rather than locally on your store’s computer, the broadcast never actually crashes. If your store’s Wi-Fi drops, the stream will seamlessly reconnect and resume playing exactly where it left off the moment your internet is restored.
Q: Are there any listener limits if I stream to hundreds of franchises?
A: Our dedicated cloud media servers handle massive listener capacities effortlessly. You can stream your single custom radio station to hundreds of physical store locations simultaneously without any audio buffering or bandwidth caps.
