The magazine will use media convergence and public voting through social media and its website to rank bands in battle of the bands competitions. Readers can vote online, purchase tickets to live events, and subscribe to the magazine for discounts and early alerts about band battles. Each issue includes a free CD and poster related to the two featured bands to promote them.

1. USP
My USP of my magazine is that it uses media convergence. The ranking in the battle of
the bands table will be decided by the voting of the public. The votes will be added
up and will rank the bands in the table. This will be done by having a poll on social
networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Also, if you sign up to the magazine
website you will be sent emails asking for you to vote between two bands. Tickets
will also be sold on the magazine website to see bands battle against each other.
People who subscribed to the magazine monthly will get early alerts where the
battles are being taken place and will automatically get a discount. On the
magazine’s website you will be able to listen music by the band and watch videos
of their battles and performances. From my VoxPox I found out that most people
would like freebies like CD’s and posters. Therefore, with each magazine it will
have a free CD of the two featured bands best track. Also I will include a poster of
the two bands going face to face.
