7-day or 10h free trial, no credit card required

A free trial is an opportunity.

But without a method, it quickly turns into “we tested it a bit, we’ll see later”.

In an establishment, you need a simple answer:

Does StarkStream improve the customer experience and simplify the team’s daily routine?

Here is a field protocol to get that answer in 7 days.

Why structuring the trial changes everything

If you test “randomly”:

– you change the music too often,
– you don’t have a point of comparison,
– you forget to ask the team,
– and in the end… you don’t know how to decide.

A successful trial is a short, targeted, and measured one.

StarkStream in one sentence

StarkStream is a subscription-based audio streaming Web App, based on continuous relaxation thematic radio stations, designed for professional use (spas, salons, hotels, studios).

The 7-day protocol (simple and effective)

 

Day 0 — Prepare the test (10 minutes)

1. Choose a maximum of 1 to 3 zones.
– Reception
– Treatment rooms
– Relaxation / exit
2. Appoint a “point person”.
3. Write down your main objective (just one).

Examples of objectives:

– Reduce mental load (fewer playlists to manage)
– Make the atmosphere more premium
– Stabilize the atmosphere in the treatment rooms

Day 1 — Choose your “core station”

The idea is not to test 10 stations.

The idea is to test actual usage.

– 1 core station (your base)
– 1 variation station (if needed)

Days 2 to 6 — Observe (2 minutes per day)

Each day, ask the team for quick feedback:

– +: what improved the daily routine
– −: what was disruptive
– ?: a question, an idea, an adjustment

And look at 3 criteria:

1) Customer experience

– Less bustle at reception?
– More of a “cocoon” atmosphere in the treatment rooms?
– Any spontaneous feedback?

2) Operations

– Does the team know how to start it without help?
– Does the music become a “non-issue”?

3) Reliability

– Stable playback
– Constant volume
– No disruptive incidents during sessions

Day 7 — Decision (15 minutes)

Ask 3 simple questions:

1. Is the atmosphere more consistent?
2. Does it make things simpler for the team?
3. Is the streaming stable enough for daily use?

If the answer is “yes” to these three points, you have your decision.

If there is a hurdle, adjust first (zone, station, volume) before reaching a conclusion.

Common mistakes during a trial

– Changing things too often
– Testing in too many zones
– Not standardizing the volume
– Not asking the team for feedback

Conclusion

In 7 days, you can go from an impression (“it’s nice”) to a decision (“it simplifies our lives and improves the experience”).

Start with a single zone if you want to go fast: reception is often the best entry point.
