FOR MY FIRST QUESTION, I ASKED MY TARGET AUDIENCE WHAT KIND OF MAGAZINE THEY TEND TO READ, AND FROM MY RESULTS, IT IS CLEAR THAT THE MOST POPULAR MAGAZINE CHOICE IS MUSIC AND HOBBY. THIS MEANS THAT WITHIN MY MAGAZINE, IT WOULD BE USEFUL TO INCLUDE THINGS TO DO WITH MUSIC, SUCH AS INTERVIEWS WITH BANDS AND ARTISTS, GIGS AND EVENTS NEWS AND FREEBIES. FOR THE HOBBY PART OF THE MAGAZINE, I COULD INCLUDE THINGS SUCH AS NEWS ON EVENTS AND THINGS TO DO. I THINK MOSTLY I WILL FOCUS ON THE MUSIC SIDE OF THE MAGAZINE THOUGH.

From my results of the question ‘What brands are you most interested in or own most of?’I realised that the most of the people I asked liked to shop on the high-street instead of shop in designer shops for more expensive items. This means that most of the people I am focusing my magazine on are people of usual working class. In this case, my magazine will contain events and competitions, and things that people can afford to do.

In order to find out other ways I can inform my magazines target audience on news and events, and what to include in my magazine, I asked what websites do they use on a regular basis. From this question I gathered a mixture of results, and many people use more than one of these sites, hence the extra results in my chart. It is clear that Facebook is the most used social networking site, following this is twitter and Instagram. This means that in order to promote my magazine more and get news across to more people, these sites would be good to use, as many more people are on them.

how much would you spend on a music mag?

1.00 - 1.50 2.00 - 2.50 3.00 - 3.50 4.00 - 4.50 5.00 +

I asked the people completing my survey what kind of price range they think is appropriate when buying a music magazine, and what kind of price they would be willing to pay. From these results it is clear that most people would like to be able to buy a music magazine at the price of about £1.00 - £1.50 but in my opinion this is quite unrealistic because its cheap and you have to pay for the printing etc. of creating each individual magazine so this wouldn’t be a sustainable price. The second most popular price range was at £3.00 - £3.50. this in my eyes is a good, well rounded and reasonable price range for a music magazine, and this would probably also cover the cost of any freebies and posters included in the magazine, which a lot of people said they would like to be within the magazine.

do you ever attend any music festivals or gigs?

After asking people how often they attend music festivals and gigs, it became apparent that my target audience goes to gigs around once a fortnight, followed by the next most popular amount of people going to gigs only ‘occasionally’. This means that in my magazine it would be more beneficial to the majority of my audience, if it contained information about gigs, music events and festivals in and around their area. This would bring the magazine more interest and also means he magazine will appeal to more people.
