Price

From this information, I have found out the price range people will pay for certain magazines but don’t know why until later on in my survey.

Reason for this price

From my results, the main reason for paying this much has to do with the type of magazine it is and what sort of content is available. I was told that a more well known magazine can ask for more and that they wouldn’t mind paying more as they know that the content is going to be good quality. They also said that how often the magazine is published can effect how much they will be willing to pay. They said that a monthly issue can as for more as they will have more content than a weekly issue. Although they said that the bonus of buying weekly is that the information can be more up to date and have more gossip . Although they said that weekly issues can seem rushed and have limited content and stretch the information further with lots of images and large fonts. Most said that they only buy magazines if there is something special in it such as a well known artist that they like or freebies. They choose magazines based on who they like as they want to know more about them and what makes them special.. They also like freebies as it gives them an excuse to buy these magazines as they need an excuse to spend a high price.

Media Consumption

From this I found out that the most common form of consuming media is through magazines and online. This means that the best way to sell my product would be through magazines and online.

Occupation

My results show that the most common occupation from my results is a student. This could limit my results as I only have results from one main group.

What makes you choose a magazine?

From this I know what makes people buy the magazines they do. The main reasons are freebies, posters and articles.

What is best in magazines

From my survey I found that the best parts of magazines, is the content. They mostly like well known and popular bands that are up to date. They also like interviews with old musicians also as they still like music from the past as well as music now. Another thing they like to see in magazines are posters as it allows you to show what music you enjoy and then view them again and again.
