The short answer

Yes. The research is older and more specific than most shop owners realize.

Music isn't ambient — it's a behavioral variable, peer-reviewed since 1982. Tempo controls how customers move through your store. Identity-fit music lifts what they're willing to pay. Familiar songs drive them out faster, even when they say they like it. The receipts are below.

Forty years of evidence

Music is doing work whether you chose its effect or not

Slower Milliman, 1982
Tempo controls pace

Shoppers walked more slowly to slower-tempo music, and daily sales rose with the longer visits.

Pricier Areni & Kim, 1993
Quality cues lift the basket

Classical music in a wine store led customers to choose more expensive bottles — not more bottles.

−8% Yalch & Spangenberg
Familiar music shortens visits

Familiar songs drove shoppers out 8% faster. They reported liking it more — and left sooner.

The mechanism

Background music has been a creative endeavor for decades. We turned it into a design spec.

Background music vendors lease songs artists wrote for other reasons — and the lyrics, tempo, energy, and cultural reference were never chosen with your retail floor in mind. Entuned produces original music to specification: your customer, your category, your outcome. Tempo tuned to your floor pace. Identity calibrated to your customer. Lyrics screened to avoid actively negative-priming the people you're trying to convert.

Linger longer

Tempo, key, and energy shaped to slow customer pace and extend dwell.

Larger basket size

Identity-fit programming that lifts what customers are willing to spend.

Higher conversion

Energy arc and lyrical density tuned to the decision moment on your floor.

Brand reinforcement

Original music your store actually owns — never plays in a competitor's store.

The early read

Music that gets sharper the longer it runs.

Free and Boost deliver the concept. Pro pulls sales and traffic data from your locations and refines the music against the outcome you set — the longer it runs, the more precisely it produces what you measure. Self-improving refinement compounds over weeks and months of correlation.

Early signal from the pilot

UNTUCKit

“...our store went from an 18% conversion all day on a Tuesday, April 21, 2026 to 28% conversion after we put on Entuned.”

— Kari S. Assistant Manager · Pilot store, Spring 2026

“This is refreshing!”

— Elaine K. · Pilot store, Spring 2026

“I was literally singing this song, the chorus to the song ‘add it to the pile’, and then I saw that other shirt and I thought why not ‘add it to the pile’. This is brilliant.”

— Customer who made an additional $100+ purchase · Pilot store, Spring 2026

A single store on a single day — anecdotal, not a controlled result. The 12-week pilot replaces this with matched test-and-control numbers read in your own reporting.
