December 2020

It’s most wonderful time of the year! It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas! Do you wish it could be Christmas every day? And I bet you are you back at Last Christmas knowing that this year is going to be very different.

Here at KVH Studios we work with our client’s to make sure we are playing the right Christmas songs to match their normal playlist. There’s lots of discussion over when you should start playing Christmas songs as well. That isn’t up to us to decide, we talk to all our clients months in advance to work with them so the Festive playlists starts when they launch Christmas in their stores.

If their Christmas shop is open from the beginning of October, then that’s when we start programming a small selection of Christmas music, building up to 100% Christmas from the start of December. At the other end, we have some clients who don’t sell anything Christmas related but want to create a festive atmosphere for their stores so play a small selection from the beginning December.

As well as playing the Festive favourites from yesteryear, every year the KVH Studios Music team are on the lookout for new Christmas songs and here’s a small selection of the new Christmas tracks released in 2020.

Beverley Knight – A Christmas Wish

Kelly Clarkson and Brett Eldredge – Under the Mistletoe

Jamie Cullum – Turn on the Lights

Dolly Parton and Michael Bublé – Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas

Meghan Trainor featuring Earth, Wind & Fire – Holidays

As Slade said in 1973, Merry Christmas Everybody!

With the end of 2020 fast approaching (and wow I think most of us will be glad to see the back of this year!), you’ve probably already started thinking about 2021 and what changes you might make to your marketing strategy, suppliers and where you could potentially make savings.

Maybe your in-store music contract is up for renewal in 2021 and your current supplier isn’t quite meeting the requirements and objectives you have for your brand? Are you still getting value for money? Does your supplier proactively manage your service allowing you to concentrate on other priorities? If your expectations aren’t being met, it could be the perfect time to start considering an alternative supplier…
