A boutique needs quiet, even music that sets the mood without drowning conversation at the till. Two to four small ceiling or wall speakers on a compact amplifier work for most shops. Place speakers near the front and back, keep the volume low enough to talk over, and use a dedicated player so a phone call or notification does not interrupt the music.
Key takeaways
- Quiet and even beats loud.
- Two to four small speakers fit most boutiques.
- Use a dedicated music source, not a personal phone.
- Check music licensing.

06Frequently asked questions
How loud should boutique music be?
Low enough that a customer at the till can speak normally. If staff must raise their voices, it is too loud.
Can I play music from my phone?
You can, but calls and notifications interrupt it and the phone leaves the shop with you. A small dedicated player or tablet on a playlist is more reliable.
Do boutiques need a music licence?
Playing recorded music to customers can need licences from Kenya's music rights societies. Confirm with MCSK and KAMP-PRISK before you start.
