2. I have chosen this price as the responses from my
questionnaire showed that this is the maximum amount of
money most people are willing to pay for a music
magazine. Also, my research on the market placed
revealed how most distributors charge £4.50, making my
magazine slightly cheaper therefore more people will be
willing to purchase it.
£4
3. Monthly
My magazine will be published monthly as my research showed
how most music magazines are distributed this often. I feel that
releasing copies of my magazine monthly will help to increase
its sales as consumers will only be paying £4.50 a month, rather
than a week or fortnight. This will be less expensive for
committed buyers and means that the content will be more
relevant as there will be an entire months’ worth of music news
included.
4. 130-140 pages
I am aiming to include between 130-140 pages in each of my
issues as the research I carried out on the market place
exposed how the most popular music magazine like Rolling
Stones and Q consisted of this many pages. Also, this many
pages may help the selling rate of the product as it contains a
lot of content, encouraging people to purchase it as it is worth
the money
