Evolved Radio’s in-store music solutions are ideal for single-site retailers or nationwide chains across New Zealand seeking a consistent, customer-focused sound environment.

Research shows that carefully curated music enhances the experience for customers, staff, and guests—often delivering more measurable impact than visual merchandising or interior design alone.

Our proven strategy is trusted by Kiwi businesses of all sizes, helping to transform empty retail spaces into vibrant, engaging environments that drive results.

Whether you’re improving ambience or boosting sales, Evolved Sound delivers essential retail background music systems designed for New Zealand businesses.

Because when shoppers feel good, they stay longer, spend more, and return more often. That positive music experience becomes a powerful part of your customer journey—relevant, memorable, and uniquely yours.

FAQ

Picking us to help you with  in store music will automatically boost your business, because we’re the one stop shop for this service - end to end!
•    We have a massive music library you can use. That means you won’t have to repeat songs too often. In fact higher repetition can often sound extremely tiresome, especially for your employees and repeat customers. We can take care of all the legalities, so that you know for a fact that everything about the music you’re playing is above board.
•    Evolved Radio playlists are regularly updated. This means that if you want modern music you won’t eventually end up with “dated” songs that fast degrade over time.
•    We can help prepare your “advertisements” in between songs. We can take care of the whole advertisement recording process, and that includes coming up with the right script to promote your products, discounts and your brand.
•    We can even help in setting up your audio playlback hardware. If you have an existing sound system, then you’ll appreciate the “plug and play” nature of our in store music service. If you don’t have an speaker system setup yet we can help you choose the best components so you can maximise the value in our service.

We can discuss the number, though the recommended standard number of advertisements for your shop to play per hour ranges from 8-12. They tend to last about 15 to 30 seconds each. We don't recommend playing too many frequent advertisements as that will just turn off your customers. The same thing happens when your ads run for too long. You will want to play only a short advertisement in between songs. Also, it’s best if the same ad plays only after every 10 or 20 minutes, rather than after every 3 minutes!

That depends on your needs and preferences. Some of our music packages call for an update every 6 months. Other packages may have updates and advertisement changes every week or month. As a boutique service we will customise the package to best suit your business goals.

It isn’t complicated at all! In fact, we offer “turnkey” in store music packages with playlists ready to go. For the overhead ads, we have talented script writers, voice talents and media producers on your side to ensure the entire recording process is super easy. We also offer ongoing support for anything that can go wrong, and that includes faulty audio playback equipment. All Evolved Radio players are continually monitored by our team in real time to ensure they are running correctly when you need them to. Basically, you can leave everything to us and just concentrate on running your business.

What they are saying about us...

"I found the system worked great for us. Customers can now enjoy learning about our business while on hold instead of hearing silence. We can also create our own messages to suit our needs for sales or special occasions. Very happy with the system and the efficient installation."
Amcal Pharmacies
"The system has been fine and reliable. In the long term, your product will be more cost effective compared to what we were running in the past through our previous supplier."
John Crane
"We finally had the on hold music system connected by our phone people. It is now working very well and we may look at changing the music down the track too."
KCI Medical
"The MOH software has been great - we tried a CD player but then it died. We tried the radio but it kept drifting off the station. We had silence for ages but then customers didn't know if we'd hung up on them - not good customer service!"
Circuit Link International
"Since we have been running the on hold system, we have received a lot of positive feedback from our staff. They have said using on hold is a great way to provide customers with information that they don't already know about. We found the order process to be very easy and overall we are very happy with the end result."
Agilent Technologies
"I would like to thank Evolved Sound for their professionalism and efficiency in assisting SPC Ardmona produce a new and greatly improved on-hold message. The new message now provides callers with up to date information about new products and general company information."
SPC Admona
"Although we don't put callers on hold too much, we do receive positive feedback. Callers have said it is good to have some relevant information to listen to while on hold rather than the local radio station. With that in mind, we know when they are placed on hold with the system supplied by Evolved Sound they will be looked after".
Choice Hotels Australasia
"Working with Evolved was great, we choose our voice over artist from the selection of recordings offered on the website. Evolved assisted us with the content of our recording offering insightful input into what makes a message work. The recording was done sooner than expected and we where happy with the review/ feedback process that evolved have in place. It gave us ample opportunity to fine tune the recording to suit our market. We valued our experience with Evolved and have no hesitation in recommending Evolved to others. GAMEHEAD will certainly be using evolved again in the future".
