Something trendy but inoffensive and not too loud, it should get people humming along but also fade into the background - there is NOTHING worse than those high street stores that have chart music BLARING, it puts me right off going in. |

I would suggest arrangements of melodious songs without words. You may like Richard Claderman's things. Depending on age of customers it could be arrangements of modern songs (for young people) or of classic music (for people above 30). |

Depends on the age of your clientele. |

Simple & sober music without words is the best for a fashion shop.
U can try Rock |

Since people's music tastes are different I suggest music with no words, but not opera. This I have noticed that most people can stand. |

I recommend jazz music. It's slow, classic, and soothing. |

I reckon the 80s songs are really good. Its the late 20 year olds to the 50 year olds that normally have the serious money to spend anyhow and at that age they would even know the words to that type of music having grown up with it.
I always end up in a good mood and jig around the shops whilst browsing. Happy music, happy mood, happy customer, happy shopping (spends money) = happy shop owner ;) |

I'd go with slow ballads or just nice instrumental
music, so it will relax the customer and make them
feel unhurried (that way they spend more time in
your store shopping). Fast, loud music has the
opposite effect. |

What kind of fashion do you sell? I mean playing Death Metal in a trendy clothing store wouldn't work. Equally playing Britney Spears in a skater type clothing shop would be a bad choice.
Use your brain! |

Why don't you get your staff to ask your clients as they come in the door. If you've got a good ipod, you can link into your sound system.
Or why not try and get stuff that's just out. "Setting the fashion" |

definately has to be rock. |

Play whatever type of music your preferred customers would listen to. For example, if you're trying to pull teens into the store play current stuff, but if you're trying to pull their MOMs into the store keep it more neutral. I love to shop, but nothing will drive me from a store faster than crappy music (I don't mind loud current stuff if it's not painful to my ears, but mindless droning muzak will make me RUN out the door). |

If it were my shop, I'd play adult coffee house contemporary. it is modern, hip and soothing at the same time. Look at some of the Starbucks CD's that they have for sale in the stores. These are widely appealing because they mix styles while still keeping things fresh and low key. Have fun! |

I would go with a worldly instrumental or if you wanted to kick it up a little a world beat.
Nothing with real words and something that is not too intense.
I know that when I walk into those trendy stores in the malls with the blaring beat music at a fast tempo, I am walking at a fast pace and get out of there very quickly....everything seems fast. |

Let me just cut it short, irregardless of what type of clientele you have you do not want to get stuck in trying too hard to play a certain genre of music.
Yes you have to market yourself, but at the same time you do not want to alienate potential customers.
Remember in fashion it is a constant cycle and one season you may get all the young trendsetters, but you also want to persuade mothers etc to come into your shop to buy clothes for their teenagers etc.
Strike the infinite balance, there is nothing worse than when I go into some of these shops which will remain nameless and all you can hear is banging music.
Sweet, subtle and nice, lets be honest you can not really go wrong with the charts.
There is something in there to please everyone.
Extra tip, its the Window display you should really concentrate on, once their in sort out your sales technique and how your merchandise.
If I walk past your shop and see a great display, then as soon as I walk in see things I want to buy, music is the last thing I will be worrying about. Kerching!!!!
GOOD LUCK!! |

quiet, slow paced, current pop songs. stay away from rap and hardcore dance sounding music. its a store, so the music should be on the slow side and pleasant so people will stick around and buy more ;) |

Well I think it all depends on your target market. If your going for a more sophisticated group of people don't play anything out on the radio now. Just play some nice classical. If your going for teens and young adults here's where it gets tricky. If it's more urban clothing like you would see in some of the more popular hip hop stores go for hip hop. Abercrombie or gap type styles go for alternative rock. Total preppy? Go for pop. Just think of your target market and pick the music accordingly. I feel that a store playing the kind of music I listen to will greatly increase it's chances of me stopping in to at least look around if not buy. |

It all depands on the target market of you clientele! I would suggest something uptempo if its for a younger crowd or a nice American Classic ensable if its a little older market. |

Having worked in fashion shops for years, I've learned you want something upbeat but not overpowering. Good choices would be Supperclub Lounge, Buddah Bar, etc. Something that is nice but backgroundish that won't offend anyone! (Hard to find but true). Too loud and hard, they won't want to be there, too syrupy and slow, no one will buy. Good luck! |

dance music (something with alot of beat) or maybe pop |

well, having worked various types of retail for years, so far it seems the customers don't want anything to be overpowering but more in the background. like a quiet thought in the back of your mind. success has seemed to be with a popular local radio station, not necessarily yours, but one that might play a large era variety of music. it's fun to play with different ones until you find the right one. your customers will let you know. just watch them. |
