audience profile analysis

The majority (more than half) of people who filled in my survey buy 6-10 magazines on average per year, this was followed on by nearly a quarter of the people who buy around 11-20. This results shows me that if i go in the middle and make my magazine monthly (12 a year) then i am most likely to get the best results.

The results on where people buy magazines from shows that most people (half) purchase their magazines from supermarkets which is what i expected. this is followed quite closely by newsagents, which again, is fairly predictable. This gives me an idea of where my magazine would most likely been seen and i can think about who will go to these places and see it. 

The question asking where people shop for clothes may not have anything to do with music however, i found gave me an idea of what sort of people would being viewing my magazine. Where people shop can say a lot about them and especially when it comes to my genre. indie/alternative music fans have a certain style which they often create from pieces found in vintage and second-hand shops. my results support this as a majority of the people i asked were alternative music fans and half of all the people i asked shop at second-hand and charity shops.

the extras question really helps me out when it came to deciding what i wanted to do on my double page spread. an interview was the winner with information about music events coming in at close second. i was happy with this result as i can imagine it would be the sort of thing my style of magazine would include. from looking at the results, i have been able to decide that i want to do an interview on my double page spread.

i was really glad that i asked the question about the best decade for music, and even more happy with the results. majority of the people i asked voted for either 80s or 90s music. i'm glad to see this as that was the time period i was looking to base my magazine around. a few people voted for now, i will definitely take this into consideration as i am planning on including new up-coming bands and artists also. 

i am also very pleased with the results from the music genre question, where the majority of people have voted for either alternative or indie, the two genres i was looking at and planning on making my magazine based on. 

overall, i am very happy with the results of my survey and now have a much better idea of the sort of magazine i should create and what i should do to make it the best it can be to appeal to readers.
