We offer a strategic plan designed to help businesses attract and retain loyal repeat customers through regular live music.
Unlike short-term performance events—which are primarily aimed at attracting new visitors—regular performances focus on building lasting relationships with customers, ultimately strengthening your brand presence over time.

Our regular performance service is primarily used in store-based service industries.
While the common goal is to increase repeat customers, the strategic details vary depending on each client’s specific needs.
If your target market includes international guests (particularly from Western countries), we can provide a regular performance program focused exclusively on jazz and Western music to suit their preferences. This helps create a welcoming atmosphere and encourages organic social media promotion.
By offering surprise anniversary performances as an optional service at the time of reservation, you can create a memorable experience that encourages guests to return for special occasions year after year.
To build a premium brand image, you can differentiate your venue by scheduling live classical music during your busiest time slots each week.
To improve satisfaction among residents, we organize participatory events that feature nostalgic songs from their generation—also providing potential benefits as a form of music therapy.
If you’re reading this page, you’re probably already considering the idea of using live performances to help draw in customers.
By incorporating regular live music, your guests will enjoy the experience more, leading to higher return visit rates and ultimately increased sales.
However, to achieve lasting effects such as brand reinforcement and repeat customer growth, live performances need to be held several times a month for at leastsix months.Once established, live music can help sustain customer numbers even while reducing other advertising expenses.
Case Study: Hotel with 150 rooms
Comparison of new and repeat customers (2019)
POINT
Although seasonal fluctuations exist, repeat customers gradually surpassed new ones, resulting in reduced promotional costs.
In December, while the occupancy rate dropped to 50% due to seasonal factors, over 70% of that was from returning guests.
We conducted a trial with several restaurants, sending performers for a single day with the goal of attracting more customers. The results are as follows:
Venue:Small privately-run restaurant
Goal:To attract more dinner guests with higher spending, as the venue mainly served lunch sets
Genre:Matched to the venue’s style (e.g., stylish jazz numbers)
Preparation:Posters placed outside the store 2 weeks prior, and special discounts offered on the day
Result:Only about 1% increase in new customers on the day, and the monthly attendance was nearly identical to the previous month. While not a failure, the impact was minimal. Consistent efforts might eventually attract repeat customers, but at this stage, cost-effectiveness is low.
Most likely, you want to please your customers and increase the chance they will return. If people know there’s a place where they can occasionally enjoy live music, great food, and a relaxing atmosphere, word of mouth will gradually spread and help build your reputation.
However…
If the results don’t meet expectations, the costs may outweigh the benefits…
Our Regular Performance Plan is designed to maximize the customer-drawing power of live music and improve cost-efficiency. In addition to providing regular performances, we also offer strategic consulting—based on past successes—on how to effectively integrate live music into your venue from an early stage.
By building a solid base of repeat customers, you can reduce spending on advertising aimed at attracting new visitors—ultimately increasing your profit margins.
For example, restaurants have had success using LINE, a free social messaging app, in combination with live music.
To increase store revenue, you need both new customer acquisition and a strong base of repeat customers. BanMusic’s regular performance plan directly supports the latter. Having live music consistently—not just occasionally—raises the perceived quality of your venue.
However, music alone is not enough. The venue also needs to actively engage its audience through outreach.
Why don’t customers return?
A survey asking this question anonymously revealed that common reasons included:
“There was nothing memorable that made me want to come back.”
“The service was average.”
“No particular reason.”
In other words, the customers didn’t have a negative experience—they just didn’t find the place compelling enough compared to competitors.
If your venue doesn’t have a strong draw or isn’t actively promoting itself, you’re missing opportunities to bring customers back.
In reality, when you provide something the customer genuinely enjoys, the likelihood of them returning naturally increases. But if your offerings aren’t noticeably different from competitors, they’re unlikely to return unless you make a proactive effort to bring them back.
That’s why it’s important to create a direct communication channel for outreach. This gives you a chance to win back potential repeat customers. When attracting new guests, offering coupons or appealing content is key—and live performances can serve as one of those content tools.
Example message:
Tonight from 7 PM, enjoy a free live performance by [Artist Name]! If you’re a fan of [music style], this is a must-see. Perfect for a relaxing evening after work. Special set discounts also available!
One example is LINE Business Accounts, which many of you may already be familiar with. Account setup is free.
Even the free plan allows you to send up to 1,000 promotional messages per month—perfect for getting started.
(After 1,000 messages/month, a paid plan is required.)
Since LINE is free to use monthly, many businesses already use it as a contact channel. However, few are using it effectively for promotional outreach.
The main reason is that content used for outreach often becomes repetitive.
Smaller and mid-sized businesses tend to rely heavily on discounts, which can reduce profit margins. And many struggle to come up with message content beyond coupons.
That’s where live music comes in—it gives you fresh, engaging content to share with your audience.
By implementing regular live music performances with the goal of boosting traffic, your ultimate aim should be to inspire guests to share their experiences and spread word-of-mouth.
In today’s world, it’s rare that a group of 20 people will watch a live performance and not a single one takes a picture. Likewise, it’s unlikely that none of them are active on social media.
People who frequently post online are always looking for content to share—live performances provide an ideal opportunity.
If you can consistently gather one positive review per day, your brand will steadily build toward a position that others in the same industry cannot easily compete with after one or two years.
We will visit your venue to hear directly from you regarding your preferences and target clientele. Based on this information, we will take time to develop and propose the most suitable plan.
We will present a tailored plan including musician lineup and song selection. You’ll review it, and we’ll hold a detailed meeting to make any necessary revisions.
After explaining terms and conditions, we’ll proceed with formal documentation. Then, we’ll create a LINE group that includes our staff, assigned musicians, and your team. Musicians will report daily activities through LINE, including detailed feedback on the target audience’s reactions.
Before the performances begin, we will notify existing customers via your website and social channels—ideally about a month in advance. At the same time, we’ll help launch campaigns focused on generating positive word-of-mouth, especially on social media.
Live music won’t yield immediate results in just a day or two. We encourage venue managers to observe the overall atmosphere and guest reactions each time. The goal is to refine the performances to perfectly match your venue’s vibe. Although our musicians are highly experienced, each location requires a unique approach. Over time, with repeated performances, we’ll deliver outstanding entertainment that aligns seamlessly with your brand.
At the end of each month, we’ll compile daily reports and deliver them as a monthly summary. We’ll review what worked best for the target audience and refine the repertoire accordingly. Musicians will share feedback among themselves, and if necessary, we’ll make adjustments to ensure the most suitable performers are selected for your space.
We’ve received many positive comments from clients who have used our service.
The music genres are aligned with our venue’s atmosphere, yet each artist brings a unique charm and energy. Gradually, individual artists are gaining fans who come back just to see them. I’m truly impressed by the power of music. Our building doesn’t allow loud performances, but the musicians are very considerate with volume and instrumentation, and we’ve only received compliments—never complaints.Hotel & Restaurant Operator
With inbound tourism declining, we realized we needed new ways to stand out from competitors. Although we’d hosted short-term music events before, this was our first time with long-term performances. A year has passed, and we’re now receiving a noticeable increase in customer inquiries about the musicians.Hotel & Restaurant Operator
We had mainly relied on large travel booking platforms, but they didn’t generate the results we hoped for. Then we happened to attend a local music event and felt the potential of live music. After about three months of partnering, we’ve been amazed by the musicians’ skill level. Guests often ask when the next performance will be, or want to tip the artists or buy them drinks—it’s clear the impact is real.Hotel & Restaurant Operator
