UK sales of TouchTunes’ latest Playdium jukebox have increased by 30 per cent following the launch of new operating terms.
The new conditions include the abolition of fixed music fees and the introduction of deferred payments of just £14.50 a week.
Toby Hoyte, TouchTunes’ sales and marketing manager, said: “These are fantastic terms for this jukebox in the UK. Income on the Playdium is way above the national average. We appreciate the huge pressures faced by UK operators and have worked hard to create an appropriate business model.”
He added: “Replacing fixed music fees with a simple 18 per cent of the cashbox reflects the faith that we have in the Playdium and its ability to deliver a modern, in-venue music experience for consumers and generate the best income for our customers. The only payment that operators make is based solely on the income of the jukebox and after three years the Playdium is fully paid for.”
Developed by TouchTunes and Sound Leisure, the Playdium is a next generation digital jukebox with 30,000 tracks on the juke and online access to a million hits and back catalogue. The Playdium learns from the music selected and adapts over time to highlight the choices that are most relevant, thereby encouraging play and maximising the cash box, which is close to 25 per cent above the national jukebox average.
