1. Music Magazine Survey
Kellie Nee

2. Age and Gender
• Most of the people that answered my survey
were between 16-20. This age group were
80.95% of my final answers. The other 15% of
my answers were from the age range of 40+
and 15 and under. This meant that I could
collaborate a variety of answers from my
survey from a variety of people. I think that
my target audience for my magazine will be
from 16-20, so the results that I have
collected will be helpful for when I am
planning my magazine and thinking about my
target audience.
• The majority of the people that took my
survey were female. This meant that I had to
think about the different answers given as
most of them were from a female
perspective, I also have to look at the male
answers as I might choose a balance of male
and female for my own music magazine.

3. Musical Genres
• The answers that I collected from
my survey are very varied for
favourite musical genres. The two
most popular genres were Pop and
Indie. From looking at the results
from this question, it will help me
decide what kind of artists to
include in my magazine which will
appeal to the majority of my target
audience. By knowing what kind of
music people enjoy, this will help
me when planning most aspects of
my own music magazine.

4. Music Magazines
• I decided to include some questions in my
survey to find out what people like most
about music magazines. From my results I
can conclude that people buy magazines
for mainly entertainment (45%) and finding
out about events (25%). I also found out
that the things that they like most in music
magazines are Interviews (55%) and
articles (20%).
• From looking at my results, it will help me
to decide what kind of things to include in
my magazine and what things will appeal
to the target audience the most. By
choosing to include things that people will
want to see will help with audience
engagement and would help with
purchases of future magazines if this was
the next process.

5. £££
• I decided to ask a question about how
much people would pay for a
magazine to find out what would be
an ideal price for my own music
magazine. From my results, I found
out that the most popular price which
people would pay for a magazine was
£2-£3. The least popular result was
£4+, this suggests that this is too
expensive and the most popular result
is a balanced price which isn't too
much for the readers but is enough to
cover the cost of the magazine.

6. What you would like to see more of in
music magazines?
• I decided to ask the question of what
people would like to see more of in
music magazines to help me with my
planning of my own magazine as I will
have an idea of what people will want
to see and what will appeal to them.
The most popular answers were
interviews and events. From looking at
the results which I collected I can
decide which things should appear
the most in my magazines and I can
also see what people don’t want to
see as much of in magazines as they
don’t think they are as interesting.
