Questionnaire analysis

I asked people whether they would prefer pictures or text inside the magazine. From the results I found out that more people preferred pictures. I think this is because people would find pictures more interesting and exciting rather than reading a long piece of text as it can be quite boring.

I asked the question if people would like to hear about upcoming gigs and festivals. From the results I found out that over 10 people chose yes, so therefore I will feature this in my magazine.

In my questionnaire I asked whether they would like to win prizes such as an ipad or festival tickets. From my results I gathered that most people wanted to win prizes so I will include competitions and games so the audience can have a chance to win these exclusive prizes.

I also asked the question on how they listened to music. The options were Radio, TV, IPod, Internet and other. I asked this question to find out how much music is associated in their lives. My results show that the second highest option was people listen to music by watching the television; i thought this could be heard on music channels such as 4music and VIVA. Furthermore they can listen to the music by the non-diegetic and diegetic sound on TV programmes and adverts. However the results show that most people listen to music on their IPod. Before I collected the results I knew that this was going to be the highest option only because millions of people all over the world now own an iPod and it is the easiest way to purchase and listen to music where ever you are. 

I asked the question ‘How often do you think this magazine should be produced?’  I thought that this was a key question because this could affect the sales of the magazine because if the magazine was released too much or not enough then this would affect the reader not to buy the magazine at all, so it is important that a balanced answer. From my results it shows that 11 people wanted the magazine to be produced monthly. Whereas only 5 people said weekly and 2 people said once a fortnight. I am defiantly going to choose my magazine to be produced monthly because there would be a lot of news to include because not a lot could happen within a week. This would make the audience look forward for the magazine to be realised as there would be a lot of updated news and exciting features to look upon.

The question which was also included in my questionnaire was ‘what price of the magazine would you be willing to pay?’ my results show that 12 people chose £1.50 this was the lowest price of my options. However one person commented on other and chose that they would like the magazine to be priced £1.00. I have decided I do not want to sell my magazine under the price of £1.50 because it will be released monthly however the paper type will not be glossy so it won’t need to be any higher than £1.50. I have chosen the price £1.50 because I think that this would be most suitable for my target audience. In my opinion any price over £1.50 would be too expensive as my target audience would still be in education and may not have a job so they will not be able to afford the magazine above £2.00. So I have decided to sell my magazine for £1.80, I think this is a decent price as it is released monthly and it will contain features such as word searches and quizzes where the readers are able to win exclusive prizes.

Another question which I asked was ‘Which of the following would you like included inside the magazine?’ from my results it shows that the least amount of people would like latest fashion trends to be included. However, I may include a little bit about fashion trends as my target audience are young teenage girls and this is what they would like to read about at that age.11 people both chose the options  interviews and chart music, so therefore I am defiantly going to include this in my magazine.

The question ‘What social media sites do you use?’ is important because this is how the magazine is able to communicate with the audience. 7 people chose twitter, I thought that most people would choose twitter as it’s the most popular social media site of today and many teenagers use this site to follow many pop artists and bands and this is where they can be informed on various music events easily. Instagram and YouTube was chosen by both 5 people, Instagram is the second most popular social media site and YouTube allows people to access music videos and to find out the top latest music.
