The people who took my survey gave a variety of results for what sort of music they like. This is good as I wanted to base my music magazine on several varieties such as R&B, pop and rap. Although these aren’t necessarily the most popular categories, it will just make it more of a specialist magazine.

How much would you be willing to spend on a music

magazine?

£0-£119%

£2-£369%

£4-£56%

£6+6%

My survey results show that the average most of my target audience would spend on a music magazine is £2-£3, therefore I will price my magazine between this to get a larger audience.

How much do you spend on music a month, either physical

or downloaded?

£071%

£10-2029%

As most people don’t spend any money on music I could have free downloads as a freebie with the magazine.

How do you access new music?

The majority of my audience access new

music through the internet, therefore I could

promote my magazine on social networking

sites, such as facebook and twitter, also I

could have a link to my magazine website in

the magazine to expand the online fan base.

This may also get people to talk about my

magazine so others learn about it through

word of mouth. As well as this if I were

to use a free download to convince my target

audience to buy the magazine it is likely to

be a success as such a large number of

people access music over the internet.

Do you illegally download music?

As such a large number of my

target audience download music

illegally, my freebie of free downloads may prevent

people from doing this as much. I

could also do an article on where

to get cheap internet downloads,

which are legal, to try and stop

this.

reasonably50%

not very50%

Nobody said that the freebies in a magazine were very important however equal numbers said that they were reasonably and not very, but to be on the safe side and I will have a freebie with my magazine.

Do you normally buy weekly or monthly music magazines?

The majority of people preferred a

magazine that was weekly instead of

monthly. My magazine will be weekly as

then I can have the charts in my magazine

every week.

What do you look for in music magazines?

I will take into account when making my magazine the things the my target audience said they look for in a music magazine such as interviews, a mixture of bands and extras.
