Questionnaire Results

Looking at my questionnaire results i have found some interesting and predictable discoveries.

Analyzing question one 'Are you main or female?' It is apparent that the majority of the audience are males at a ratio of 18-13. This is what i expected, being a rock genre magazine typically you would expect more boys than girls to be interested as the interest in music will vary between the two with males into the more hardcore genre and females preferring more love story like music.

Looking at the answers to question two 'How old are you?' The majority of people who answered my questionnaire are between the age of 17 and 19 which is perfect as it will give me the best reflection of the ideas for my magazine specifically from my target audience age range.

My third question 'How often to you buy a magazine' Most people with a vote of 17 answered rarely just when you fancy something to read briefly. This could cause a problem for me as is the majority of my Target audience are thinking like this my magazine is going to have to follow conventions well whist at the same time standing out totally from other magazines on the market to appeal to the audience strongly enough to make them part with their money.

My Fourth Question is 'What do you buy magazines for?' To which the majority of answers was for the articles, because of this i know it is going to be important to make sure i have a big sounding story on the front cover to really draw the audiences attention to it and encourage them to buy it even more.

The next question asked how much the audience was willing to pay, as i expected it was £2 being the most popular votes, referring to Maslows theory of Hi and the Status of students on the economic level it was iportant to know the price they are willing to pay in order to price the magazine at the most profitable and affordable price range.

When i asked people 'What suit of music genre magazine appeals to you?' There was a even split with 16 votes each on the Rock and Indie genre, this tells me what the majority of people looking to purchase my magazine are going to be interested in, this is critical for me so that i can get the balance between the rock and indie pull factors just right to supplement both tastes.

Asked my audience Would you prefer a music magazine covering the general area of a music genre or a specific section of that area? E.g rock magazine covering heavy rock, indie etc, or a rock magazine focusing specifically on the heavy rock section? From this i had a 19 - 10 vote on the choice of having a general selection of music from that genre as a whole, as i had such a diverse set of results from the what music genre do people prefer this have worked out very well for me as i will be able to advertise a produce magazine stories on a wide range of music tastes while still focused slightly more around rock and indie, this allowed me to engaged a wider audience range and make my magazine more successful

In my final question where i asked my audience 'Which music magazine name to you prefer the most' I received the most votes on Rockscene, because of this i can clearly see this is obviously the most appealing to the audience and have therefore chose this to be my title.
