Instantly elevate your bar’s offering using TV & film and you could become one of the 87% of UK and US hospitality businesses who experience increased sales* as a result.
Three quarters of consumers we surveyed who watch film or TV in public report that doing so has a positive impact on their overall experience (75%) and 70% said they have specifically chosen to attend a venue because it displayed film or TV. But remember that compliance is key!
If you’re looking to boost your bottom line with the help of TV and film (or are already engaged in these types of activities), it’s imperative to obtain an MPLC licence as soon as possible. Under the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988, permission is needed from the relevant copyright holders in order to show the television programmes and films in public spaces including guest bedrooms, bars, restaurants or other similar areas.
An MPLC licence is a low cost and simple way to help your bar to harness this still relatively untapped resource to instil your offering with some extra oomph and make your guests feel right at home.
*Based on research conducted on behalf of MPLC by third-party providers in June 2023. The consumer research reached 1,502 respondents and the businesses research reached 300 respondents with both surveys being evenly split between the US and the UK.
MPLC specialises in Blanket Licensing, which offers a legal and compliant way to show copyright protected content in public. A public performance is where a film or TV programme is shown in a place where members of the public could see it outside of their own home.
Our Blanket Licence allows for public viewing of film, TV, and video content. It’s affordable, with unlimited exhibitions and best of all, no need to report what’s being shown and where.
