The year is drawing to a close and it's time to take a look at the running costs and reduce them.

Collecting societies like GEMA are everywhere. The tariffs and conditions are a jungle of paragraphs and, above all, incomprehensible or inconvenient for many. Users often pay far too high fees without realising it.

Then it is NOW time to check your cancellation deadlines with GEMA and prepare a timely cancellation of the GEMA tariff (this is often only possible via the online portal). Failure to do so could result in another year of fees! GEMA fees are rising from year to year.

But you don't have to do without motivating music: Use the GEMA-free music service from sonicsense and save yourself GEMA fees and registration costs. A GEMA-free certificate issued by sonicsense permanently exempts you from GEMA tariffs. Once the music has been set automatically, this saves labour. With sonicPro schedules, the music can be adapted to your visitor flows without an employee having to take care of the music or volume control.

You are also well catered for during the Christmas season with sonicsense: high-quality GEMA-free Christmas music can also be played via the music system.

If you want to stay with music that is subject to GEMA, but want to save yourself work and tariff chaos, book sonicsense GEMA administration. We take care of all communication with GEMA for you and advise you on tariffs and potential savings (yes, this is also possible for music subject to GEMA)!

Give us a call, we will be happy to advise you: 040/55 700 60

As a partner, sonicsense offers legally compliant, professionally curated GEMA-free channels with seamless documentation, so that clubs can save up to % of GEMA fees and plan reliably.
