How did you attract/address your audience?

A small blurb is a reader’s digest

version of the article, people will know if

they want to read the article, if they are

interested

In established magazines certain

articles can interest people, e.g. they

might always read the ‘what’s hot’

section

Quotes also help to sell the article to the readers, people will

be interested more in what the person has

to say than the author of the article

The person featured, fans will instantly be drawn to the product. The person featured is a big selling point for magazines, which is why you get lots of famous people and not people who people won’t recognise

The person featured’s name, people (and especially fans) will instantly be drawn and informed about the issue

How did you attract/address your audience?

References are made to people like Tim

McGraw & Def Leppard,

subsequently fans of those artists could be attracted to the artist

and the article and therefore attracted

to the magazine itself

Advertising – in this article many

references to the artist’s products are

used (tour, songs, albums etc.) making

reference to things could jog the

memory of some people who then

become interested

Lengthy article = lots of information to gather interest, fans particularly would love long articles

Lots of pictures would also attract an audience, especially as the photos are supposedly like behind the scenes photos because they are personal photos rather than released photos from shoots, exclusive photos can also be a good selling point for a magazine, like a USP in the business world
