In-store radio for shops: Radioshop radio and your EMITY screens, one message

The same announcement on screen and through the speakers.

An offer appears on screen, and the same announcement plays at the same moment on the shop’s radio. Radioshop produces the radio for your store, EMITY manages what appears on screen: your customers get one message, through two senses at once.

TogetherThe essentials

What is in-store radio?
And why sync it with your screens

In-store radio, or brand radio, is a radio station played only in your points of sale: the music is chosen for your customers, and the only announcements are your own. Radioshop, a publisher from the Hérault region of France that specialises in in-store radio, produces and broadcasts it. EMITY, a French digital signage software publisher founded in Montpellier in 2018, manages the screens in the same shop.

Together, the two channels carry the same campaign at the same moment: the screen shows it to the people looking at it, the radio announces it to everyone else, including the customer with their back turned and their hands in a shelf.

  • ✓No FM radio: no advert from another brand between two tracks
  • ✓No consumer streaming: its terms restrict listening to private use
  • ✓One calendar: the campaign is decided once, then goes out on screen and on air
  • ✓A trial: Radioshop radio can be tried for a month, with no commitment

Radioshop logo

Radioshop produces a brand’s in-store radio: a radio played inside your premises, where you control the music, the announcements and the pace. The company works with retail, hotels and restaurants, health and wellbeing, sport and leisure, and offices.

A next-door neighbour

Radioshop and EMITY are both software publishers based in the Hérault, in the south of France. Two teams from the same area, which makes joint roll-outs much simpler. Other tools connected to E-MANAGER.

TogetherThe principle

The same message,
for the eye and the ear

A screen only reaches the people looking at it. Sound reaches everyone. The two do not speak to the same audience at the same moment, and that is exactly why they work so well together.

What music changes

A campaign announced on both channels does not take twice the work: it takes deciding once what to say, then sending it to the screen and on air.

  • ✓The visual announcement is repeated out loud, at the moment it appears
  • ✓Someone who is not looking at the screen still gets the information
  • ✓A quiet shop is filled with chosen music, instead of a general radio station left playing
  • ✓Your staff have a channel to talk to each other, before opening or after closing

Brand radio, FM radio
or streaming: what changes

Three ways to put sound into a point of sale. They do not say the same thing to your customers, and they do not have the same status when it comes to broadcasting rights.

Criterion Brand radio (Radioshop) FM radio Consumer streaming
Advertising played Yours, and nobody else’s The station’s advertisers, competitors included The platform’s own, on free plans
Use in a public place Intended: rights sorted out at set-up Possible, but licensed like any music played Excluded by the terms of use
Brand messages Produced in a studio, or recorded by phone None None
Several shops One interface for the whole estate One radio set per shop One account per shop
If the network goes down The box keeps playing Depends on reception The music stops
With your EMITY screens Same campaign, same calendar No link No link

RadioshopAnnouncements

A studio writes, records
and produces your messages

Recording an announcement on a mobile phone does the job in a pinch, and Radioshop allows it. For anything that stays on air for several weeks, the brand uses the studio: you can hear the difference.

Four kinds of message

  • ✓Sales: announce an offer, a key event, something new
  • ✓Goodwill: welcome customers, mark a celebration, say thank you
  • ✓Service: say what the shop does for its customers
  • ✓Team motivation: keep staff informed and support service quality

And for anything urgent: a message recorded on a phone goes out straight away, in the shops you choose.

The visual follows the message

Once the message is produced, it just needs to appear on screen: the visual is built in EMITY’s built-in editor and scheduled in E-MANAGER on the same screens, on the same dates.

RadioshopSet-up

What installation actually takes,
in practice

This is the question that most often holds up a multi-site project: how long per shop, and who has to travel. The answer comes down to two things: a few minutes, and nobody.

1The kit arrivesRadioshop ships the player box and its cables to each point of sale, to rent or to buy.
2A phone appointmentThe technical team calls the shop: box placed next to the sound system, network cable, audio cable to the amplifier, power, volume setting.
3The radio playsA few minutes later, the broadcast starts. No site visit, no work on your servers.

On the IT side

  • ✓A non-streaming system: bandwidth use stays very low
  • ✓Configurable time slot and bandwidth quota
  • ✓Compatible with VPN and MPLS networks
  • ✓DHCP addressing, or full IP configuration: mask, gateway, primary and secondary DNS
  • ✓A software version is available if a computer is already in place, instead of the box

No network

The box keeps playing

The Radioshop box is self-contained: preloaded at the factory, it keeps playing without a network, and it starts as soon as it is switched on, even if the line is not yet working. That is the fundamental difference with a streaming service, which stops as soon as the connection drops. On the screen side, EMITY relies on the same principle of local playback.

RadioshopDay to day

Run the radio, and know
what is happening across your estate

A network of points of sale raises two constant questions: which music and which messages are on air, and where the broadcast has stopped. Both are answered in one place.

The control interface

  • ✓Order and schedule your audio messages in a few clicks
  • ✓See what is being played, day by day
  • ✓Check the technical status of the whole estate at a glance

Radioshop support

  • ✓Helpline Monday to Saturday and on public holidays, 9 am to 6 pm, standard-rate number
  • ✓Three languages: French, English, Spanish
  • ✓Faulty equipment replaced within 24 to 48 hours, as a standard exchange
  • ✓Automatic alert to the team as soon as a box goes offline
  • ✓A technical project manager per brand, and weekly operations reports

TogetherBroadcasting rights

And what about
broadcasting rights?

It is the first question anyone asks before putting music into their premises, and it deserves a clear answer.

  • ✓Playing music in a place open to the public falls under copyright, managed in France by Sacem.
  • ✓On top of that comes equitable remuneration for performers and producers, distributed by SPRE, usually collected by Sacem in a single step. In the UK, the equivalent is TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS, and other countries have their own collecting societies.
  • ✓A consumer streaming subscription does not cover this use: these services restrict listening to private use in their terms of use.
  • ✓So it is the first thing to sort out with Radioshop at set-up, depending on your floor area, your business and your opening hours.

TogetherSectors

Where screen and sound
work together

Wherever a place welcomes the public and already plays music, the screen has a twin channel waiting to be tuned to it: wherever someone waits, browses or settles in.

TogetherFrequently asked questions

What retailers ask
before adding sound to a point of sale

In-store radio, or brand radio, is a radio station played only in your points of sale: the music programming is built for your customers and the only announcements are your own. Radioshop produces it; EMITY manages the screens in the same shop so that image and sound carry the same campaign.

Playing music in a place open to the public requires licences. In France, copyright is managed by Sacem, and equitable remuneration for performers and producers is distributed by SPRE, usually through a single application to Sacem. In the UK, businesses need TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS. The cost depends on your floor area, your business and your opening hours. It is the first thing to sort out with Radioshop at set-up.

No. Consumer subscriptions restrict listening to private use in their terms of use: they do not authorise playing music in a shop, and they bring no programming written for your customers, no messages and no multi-site management. A professional radio covers all three at once.

Radioshop lets you try its radio for one month, with no commitment. And brand radio only plays one advert: yours, with no spot from another brand between two tracks.

Radioshop builds the programming around your brand and the profile of your customers: a sports shop, a jeweller and a bakery call for neither the same repertoire nor the same tempo. Playlists are then refreshed every day, which avoids the loop effect that staff notice before customers do.

Yes. The player box is self-contained: preloaded at the factory, it plays as soon as it is switched on and keeps broadcasting if the network goes down. The system is also non-streaming, with a configurable time slot and bandwidth quota: it puts very little load on the shop’s connection.

A few minutes, by phone. The box and its cables are shipped to the shop, then the technical team guides the connection: power, network cable, audio cable to the amplifier, volume setting. No site visit is needed, which makes all the difference across a network of dozens of shops.

No: in-store radio works on its own, and so does digital signage. Bringing them together means one campaign carried by image and sound, on the same calendar. That is why the two companies work together.

The visual is built in EMITY’s built-in editor and scheduled in E-MANAGER on the screens concerned; the audio message is ordered and scheduled in the Radioshop interface, in the same points of sale and on the same dates. The only real work is deciding once what to say, then lining up the two calendars.

FM radio brings its own schedule, its presenters and above all its advertisers, including your competitors, played in your shop. Brand radio only carries one advert: yours. The repertoire is chosen for your customers, and group-wide messages sit alongside each shop’s own on the same station.
