Music is a very big business. The music industry employs millions and covers many genres. The extent of this industry goes well beyond music industry professionals, as there are just as many non-music businesses that access music industry resources to meet the demands of their own business' daily operations as there are music-based companies.

Whether you need to find music companies for background music or for entertainment purposes, there are a wide variety of music companies to fit your needs. Keep the following in mind when searching for music industry resources for your business:

1. Musical companies can provide background music for your business' media projects and presentations.

2. Music industry information technology can be used to provide musical entertainment for corporate events.

3. Companies can use the music industry to create jingles or theme music to accompany their advertisements.



Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Choose music industry resources to create background music for your business


Many businesses choose to set a mood in their business through a programmed music industry service.

I recommend: Muzak has over 80 different programs to choose from. They also provide personalized access to music and entertainment through a custom sound system consultation and installation service. Sirius satellite radio gives business owners the opportunity to install the service themselves. They offer 67 channels of music and entertainment with no commercials.

Find music and entertainment for event planning


Almost every business or personal event requires music of some sort. Wedding planners and convention organizers all use music industry resources to find music companies that will provide this service.

I recommend: Gigmasters has a nationwide pool of talent that can provide music and entertainment from weddings and parties to conventions and corporate events. A wide array of talent can be found for your business, including bands, DJs and solo artists. At DJDreams.com use a locater service to find reputable DJ music companies in your area who will provide diversified entertainment for your next corporate event.

Create jingles or theme music with music industry contacts


Finding the perfect jingle or theme music for your company's advertising needs can make your business more memorable to potential customers. This gives your business a sound to go with your look by linking music and entertainment.

I recommend: DSV Media creates original musical jingles for businesses, offers fast turnarounds and guarantees your satisfaction. Music industry resources like Creative Mills Productions specialize in commercial jingles that create successful music imaging for special projects. BoomSonicBranding is another resource you can use to craft jingles that reflect your brand and company's personality and style.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • There are strict guidelines in the music industry to protect the interests of the music and entertainment artists. The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) protects copyrights of music by monitoring public play. By using professional music companies you can be assured that the music is used with permission, all royalties have been honored and your company will not be fined for infringement.
