Audience Research Results

After uploading my survey on http://www.freeonlinesurvey.com/ I asked my classmates and my teacher to complete it.. I have made some graphs with results of the survey :

The "other" type of music included:

- House/ Electro Question 8 What bands or artists would you want to see in a music magazine? The answers were: - Lil Wayne Wiz Khalifa - the most popular artists e.g rihanna, beyonce - Latest and Popular bands. Bands that I that know and some new bands - A band that I have not heard of. - new teenage band which has g8 song like simple plan etc. - Katy Perry Snow Patrol The Ting Tings - Eminem N-Dubz 50 Cent - Kasabian, Placebo - Skepta - Swedish House Mafia Eric Morillo Avicii etc. Question 10 What appeals to you when buying a music magazine? (e.g. Front Cover, Masthead or Double Page Spread) The answers for this question were: - Front Cover - front cover - Front Cover - What is said in the magazine; the doubla page spread. - the image in the front cover and the cover lines - Front cover - if the magazine features people I like, I'll buy it - Front Cover - Front cover - Masthead - The front cover- has to be colourful and eye-catching

After going through the survey's results I found out a lot about what people prefer and like in music. The results I have will help me to understand in which direction to create my magazine and what people would want to see in it. Mainly people who were asked to complete the survey were 15 - 19 years old. As far as I know teenagers prefer everything about superstars' lifes, their albums and interviews, how they dress (fashion) and what they do when they stuggle. However, I wanted to specify my magazine therefore I picked a genre for it by asking others. The genre I picked was hip hop & rap, which is mostly liked by all teenagers. As the purpose of the magazine is to gain some money I asked people how much would they be willing to spend and the price people picked the most was something between £3 - £4. Also by asking people to complete my servey I found out that everyone prefers to be getting some freebies and mostly it is free tickets, cd and posters. I had a think over that and decided that as people mostly buy music magazines every month or sometimes I will be putting some free tickets or cd's with posters every month into my magazine in order to attract people to buy it. However, I found out that people don't like participating in any kind of activities such as questionaires, so I am not going to add them or I will but very rarely. Also by going through the results I found out that people,mostly, get attracted by the fron cover and that's what leads them to buy a music magazine. Therefore, I will be working very hard on my front cover by adding a lot of colours to it with a very nice masthead.
