Evaluation part 4- Audience response

 

 

This is a response to my questionnaire from a member of my target audience.

Evalation part 4 - Audience Feedback

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey , the world's leading questionnaire tool.

To collect some audience feedback I have created a survey. Audience feedback is vital as if the audience don't like what they see they are less likely to buy the magazine.

Evaluation part 4 - Reader profile

    

Earlier in the year I created a reader profile for my magazine. It shows who my ideal primary target audience is, Females around 15-22 (as 30% are still in education) who are working class and it also shows my ideal secondary target audience, older men also of working class. As well as showing the primary target audience and the secondary target audience it also shows the interests of my ideal target audience. 

Evaluation part 4

• What would be the audience for your media product?

Evaluation part 3

After doing research into different media institutions that publish music magazines I decided that it would be between Bauer Media and IPC Media. After comparing the two against each other I have decided that Bauer Media would be the better choice for my magazine.

The company already publish a few very successful music magazines like Q and Mojo so its obvious they have a lot of knowledge when it comes to publishing music magazines. On top of this the music magazines they do publish are a different genre to my magazine. They also have quite a few magazines that are targeted at my secondary target audience however, not as many targeted at my primary. 

Making and distributing my magazine would also be very beneficial to the company, as they don't have many magazines targeted at my primary audience distributing my magazine will broaden their audience and increase their profits. My magazine wouldn't be in competition with any of their current magazines as it is a different genre it would only be in competition with other media institutions like Prometheus Global Media who distribute billboard .

Although IPC Media is a good publishing company they produce very few magazines that are targeted at the younger generations so therefore I believe choosing this publisher would be a risk.
