Shazam In-Store is a new service provided by Mood backed by Shazam that creates a new marketing solution for businesses to reach their shoppers. We all know Shazam as the best music discovery app available but many people don’t realize the marketing potential with in the popular app. There are over 18 million songs discovered daily within the app with over 70% of shoppers having Shazam on their mobile device. This said its very easy to integrate these actions with a customers in-store experience.

Shazam and Mood Media In-storeWhat is Shazam In-Store?
This solution uses all of the popular technology with Mood’s experienced team to create a mobile marketing solution only Mood and Shazam could offer. The solution produces a completely customized mobile experience to customers devices from within stores. The technology will allow a business to promote special offers with exclusive content and their loyalty programs as well as social media and other solutions. Since Shazam already has over 475 million global users the structure is already in place without businesses needing to create or change their own mobile apps.

How does Shazam In-Store Work?
This new mobile in-store marketing solution works by engaging shoppers through the in-store music they already have assuming they already have Mood service in their stores using their “Presence” technology. We aren’t sure yet if this is available to businesses that use a music solution not provided by Mood. The way it works from a shoppers stand point is actually quite easy. Without getting too technical the shopper will walk into the store and Shazam the overhead music, the “Presence” technology has an inaudible sound coming over the speakers that triggers the businesses content directly to them through their smartphone (of course the music discovery will also complete as normal).

Only time will tell if this takes off or not although it seems to be a nice solutions for those already using Mood as their in-store music solution since everything is already in place. For more details on Shazam In-Store you would have to go to Mood’s site in the source below and contact them.
