Magazine Questionnaire Results

Are you male or female?Male- 11Female- 9

I have asked this question so I know which gender prefers what and who should be my main target audience for my magazine production from what answers they give. It will uniform my planning by deciding which gender to

target specifically. It is a reliable piece of research because I collected it myself and I have tried to ask an equal amount of each gender.

How old are you? I asked this question to see who I should target specifically through my wide target audience.I covered a full range of ages within my target audience . But the bulk of people are between 16-25 and 26-30. This means that the main target audience for my music magazine is 16-30. This means most of the other answers in the questionnaire will be relevant to my magazine construction and help me produce a suitable music magazine for the target audience.

How often do you buy a music magazine?

I asked this question to see how frequently I should bring out my own magazine to able to the target market and audience. In my previous question the majority of my questionnaire answers are relevant because my target audience is the majority. This means that most of my target audience buy a music magazine monthly, or never, this may be because they do not have a magazine that covers there wants or needs so I am hoping to fill that gap.

I asked this question so I could find out what is the maximum I can charge for my music magazine. The majority of my target audience (half)are willing to pay £2.00 to £3.00. This means I will probably set my price for my magazine between this bracketed price range. It will also mean that the magazine would generate sales if half of my target audience are willing to pay that price.
