Initial questionnaire results (expanded)

My first question was about what gender you were and from my results I found out that more women answered my questionnaire which would mean the answers would be more to a feminine side than a male side and that I should aim my magazine at a female audience.

The next question was about age which concluded that most of the people I asked were aged 16 this would make the answers of my questionnaire be more teenage than adult. So to make my magazine successful then I should maybe target the magazine at people aged 16 and above.

My third question was about whether you buy music magazines. The results were that over half of the people I asked said no which would make some of my results inaccurate, which may contribute to the successfulness of my music magazine because if they answered questions about a music magazine and they haven’t brought one then it could be unfair and would make the magazine unsuccessful.

I then asked if they bought a music magazine then how much would they pay, from the results I found out that half of the people that buy music magazines they are willing to pay between £2 and £2.99. So to make my magazine successful I will price my magazine between £2 and £2.99.

I then found out from my questionnaire that the people that brought music magazines they buy them on a monthly basis. So this tells me that to make my magazine a success I would release it on a monthly basis.

From my initial questionnaire the people that I asked told me a range of different artists and bands that they listen to. This shows that by making an alternative magazine I can provide something for everyone so by doing this a range of different people would buy my magazine so it should be successful.

I asked people what colours they would like to see on a music magazine and the two most popular choices were red and black so when making up my colour schemes I made sure that they either had red or black in them or both of the colours together. By using colours that people like they will be attracted to my magazine and this will prompt them to buy it. This feedback will help me to produce a successful magazine.

The next question from my initial questionnaire was about the genre of music people most liked. The feedback I gained was that most people liked Rock, but I had a range of different responses so this has helped me when I produce my magazine so I can make it suitable for the right audience.

The feedback from my question about whether they wanted the magazine to be informal or formal, 75% of the people that I asked said they would like the magazine to be informal. This is going to help me when writing the article for my magazine because I will use some informal language so it is suitable for my target audience.

The final question that I asked was which way do you like to purchase music, either download or buy from a shop. 53% of people said they would rather download music so this tell me that I may include a free download to tempt them buy my magazine, which will also make the magazine successful.
