Questionnaire

 

 

The purpose of doing this questionnaire was to ask the public what they where looking for/expecting with a music magazine.  For example, I asked them their favourite genre of music magazine.  This let me know which one the majority preferred, which ever one had the most votes has the biggest target audience.  The genre R&B won the vote with pop coming closely second and country coming last, the reasoning I did R&B.  the second question I asked was, how much would you pay for a music magazine?  The majority of people said from £1.00 to £1.50.  I chose £1.50 as this is the maximum most people would pay for the magazine and I myself think this is an appropriate amount if the content of the magazine is to a good standard.  The third question I asked was, what catches your eye the most about a front cover?  The results of this question was the main image.  this may be because of the artist/celebrity on the front of the magazine.  For example, they might be interested in them or their favourite artist therefore enticing them in to buy it.  the second thing that the customers looked at as the sell lines.  these are important as in once again they could contain their favourite artist or could contain something enticing for example a competition to get involved in.  What came last in the questionnaire was the price, this is obvious as in if the price is too high people are put off by buying it.  The fourth and final question I asked was, what one thing would you expect to find in a music magazine?  the top answer was interviews.  This could be because of a person that they have certain interest in or that is big at the moment within music, people just want to know a bit more about them and their music.  The second answer was festival information.  this interests people as its an occasion that people look forward to and can see and get involved with the artists they like.  People in general always want to see their favourite artist play live.  The last answer was the charts.  This may be because some people aren't necessarily interested in the charts as they like to find their own music and aren't necessarily bothered about who is at the top of the charts.  Also you can easily find this information else where, for example, a music channel on the TV (4Music, VIVA)or iTunes.
