What kind of media institutions might
distribute your media product and
why?
2. Sales
My magazine has the ability to sell in larger stores rather
than simply music specialists, this is due to the social
groups popularity being huge as well as the passion for
hip-hop. It may also be sold in smaller specialist music
stores which focus on a particular genre of music, in my
case this would be a store which focuses its product range
on hip hop music. My media product could heighten the
range of Hip-hop/R&B sold in many other places also.
3. Stores
These places range from Tesco to HMV; however,
selling the media product in Tesco and selling it in a
direct music store such as HMV the outcome of the
purchase is different. Tesco target multiple audiences
and social groups as the supermarket offers various
aspects of shopping from food to clothes to media.
Whereas, distributing the media product from HMV,
a store attracting simply media lovers
4. Music Channels/Promotion
MTV displays existing music artists, especially Hip- hop therefore, would
be the perfect institution to present my media product. Many music labels
pay particular attention to online platforms in order to find new stars and
if such artists are featured in my magazine it is likely that music websites
such as MTV would be interested in promoting my magazine. Online
purchasing of magazines has recently become so popular as the internet is
a daily use in most peoples lifestyles, therefore, purchasing the magazine
from your phone or laptop allows it to be quick and easy whether you are
reading the issue online or getting it delivered to your door.
5. Access
An easy way of accessing my media product
would simply be local corner shops as they
are known for their mass stock of magazines.
Including, lifestyle magazines, car, fashion
and beauty and music.
