Questionnaire

I asked around 30 people to take part in my questionnaire to find out more about the target market.

I already knew I wanted to aim my magazine at older teens so these are the majority of people I asked. I did however ask some younger teens and young adults to give me a variety of views.

The majority of magazines bought were music or gossip magazines. However, 30% of people said they don't read magazines as they prefer to find it out online.

Pop and alternative were the most popular genres of music, while the only other genre mentioned was rock.

The people who said 'no' said they would rather find the information or pictures online rather than spending money on a magazine. This might mean I need a good hook to make sure people would want to spend money on my magazine.

40% of the people I asked said they would like to see posters or interviews with the band - 20% want some kind of gift such as a demo CD.

In conclusion, alternative was the most popular genre for older teens. I should include posters and interviews of the band to make sure my magazine will be popular among potential consumers.
