Why is music played in supermarkets?
In 1966, researchers first examined the effect of ambient music volume on grocery store shoppers. The team found that playing loud, raucous music got shoppers out of the store quicker. Softer, calmer music allowed them to spend more time shopping. Sales were up 38% on slow-tempo music days compared to fast ones.17 Jun 2020
