Music to Restaurateurs Ears
24% more restaurants and cafes in the UK have bought a PRS Music licence in the last two years.
The music PRS represents has never been more in demand in this sector.
Music is a key element to creating atmosphere, motivating staff, differentiating from competitors, attracting customers, enhancing their experience and influencing their spending behaviour.
If restaurants and cafes play music they need clearance to do so from the owners of that music. PRS represents the owners and can get you the permissions you need enabling you access to the world's music in the most efficient way.
PRS Public Performance Sales Managing Director Keith Gilbert said: ‘Many restaurants recognise that playing the right kind of music can enhance the environment they provide for customers and staff and often increase profits.
‘By buying a PRS Music licence you have access to 10 million pieces of music and at a competitive rate.
‘The cost of playing music to create this better atmosphere is less than most people think; from as little as 27p a day. This money is paid back to the people who have created the music.’
Restaurateurs can call 0800 068 4828 for further information and to receive a free quote for a PRS Music Licence.
