2. PURPOSE & AIMS
• The purpose of this market research was to find out
what my target audience wanted in my music
magazine. This presentation will show my overall
results from my questionnaire I carried out.
• The second purpose of this questionnaire was to
find out any new ideas form my target audience
which I could include in my magazine to make it
more appealing to them.

3. METHODS & TECHNIQUES
• The first method I used for my market research was
the questionnaire, which is where I went out and
asked people questions first hand, this was quite
basic as it was just quantitative answers.
• The second method I used was a focus group, this
was more effective as it meant I could discuss my
answers and include quotes in my presentation of
what my peers thought. This was qualitative
research so I was able to get a mixture of both.

4. AUDIENCE PROFILING
The results from my questionnaire show that the
age range was most common between 16-18
and 18-21 males, the fact that most of them
are quite young suggests that they may still be Town Of Residence
in college with only part time jobs which shows
how they may only have a small income so I
may have to price my magazine lower in order 40%

6. MEDIA PURCHASING HABITS
• From the previous slide we can tell that most of my
target audiences habits are listening to
music, which is perfect for my magazine because it
is drum & bass. We also know that there is a 50/50
split on when my audience will like the magazine to
be produced, I also know that most people like to
purchase their magazines from a newsagents which
tells me where to place my product to get the most
sales. The fact that most people only buy
magazines twice a month tells me that I should
produce my magazine once a fortnight.

11. FOCUS GROUP
• From my focus group I gained feedback which will help me when
making my magazine.
• From my focus group it was pointed out that its better to release my
magazine either fortnightly or monthly, ”more information, something
to look forward too” this is a good point as most of my target range
are students who wont have enough money to buy a magazine
weekly anyway.
• Other quotes I got were “good guidance for clubs” which means I
can guide new beginners to the best clubs who don’t have much
experience.
• Someone pointed out that the newsagents would be a good place
to put my magazine on sale as “easy accessible and lots around” so
therefore it would appeal to a larger target audience.
• “front cover number one looks the most effective” this is good
because it means I can now base my front cover around some of the
features from this one.

12. CONCLUSION
• Overall I have decided to do my magazine in a
informal tone because that’s what my target
audience want. I have also decided to use the
colours black, white and red ad my main colour
chemem because my target audience like it and I
think it will appeal to my audience more.
