Referringbacktoaudience feedbackisveryimportantandissomethingthatIdidregularlytogain
thoughtsonwhat wouldlookbetterorismore effectinmyprojectin termsof my companyname,
construction,andfinal outcome.It wasvital for me to know whatmy audience like anddon’tlike
because theyare my targetaudience whomysportswearrange wasaimedat.Therefore mychoices
had to cater theirthoughtstomake my sportsrange appeal to themand wantthemto buythe
products.The audience feedbackthatI reliedonmostlywasface bookbecause myaudience of
femalesaged18-24 use thissocial networkoften.The use of face bookwas keyinmy researchand
planningbecause itallowedme to make sure I wasconstructingmyancillarytasksand maintasks
successfully.
My audience feedbackwasaskeddirectlytothe targetaudience of femalesaged18-24 thisis
because Iwouldgetthe correct feedbackneededtoimprove mytasks.Thiswasinsteadof asking
the general publicforaudience feedbackthisisbecause otherwisemyfinal outcome wouldn’tbe as
successful andwouldn’tappealtomyspecifictargetaudience asthe randomaudience feedback
wouldn’tforfill acertainage group’sneeds.
The firstprocessthat requiredaudiencefeedbackwaschoosingmycompany’sname:

possible as well asmyinterestinsportmakingthisprojectmore enjoyable.Therefore Ihadto decide
on a sportscompanyname thatwas verycatchy and recognisable tomytargetaudience especially.
To beginwithImade a listof sportscompanynamesthat alreadyexistthiswasverysimple andas
there isa huge range of themthe listwas verylong.FromthislistI thenbeganto create a mindmap
of myownand create namesthat were influencedfromthe listabove thismindmap.Thisthenlead
me to choose 5 of my ownnamesto allow myself togainaudience feedbackfrom.Ididthisby
havinga vote fromanyone whowas female’saged18-24 as thiswas my targetaudience.Relyingon

Feedbackformyevaluation
To gain feedbackformyevaluationIdecidedtocreate a questionnaire formytwoadvertsand
sponsorshipandanotherquestionnaire formyonline popup.The reasonIchose to do thiswas
because Ihad alreadyusedthe social networkFacebookseveral timestogainaudience feedback
therefore bydoing thiswill showthe varietyof waysIhave gainedaudience feedbacktoinfluence
my final outcomes.
To beginwithIallowedthe individual femaleswhowere fillingoutmyquestionnaire’stogive me
theirfeedbacktowatchboththe adverts,sponsorshipandview the online popupwhile completing
the questionnaire’s.Thiswasveryeasyasthe easyaccessof bloggerwaswhere Ihad postedall my
