magazine, Tempo.

Q3. What kind of media institution might distribute
your media product and why?
2. What kind of media institution might distribute your media product and why?
Egmont is a publisher of children’s books and young people magazines such as; we
love pop and Top of the pops. It is the UK’s leading brand of children’s publisher for
babies through to teens. I think this is the most suitable distributer because it is the
leading publisher of two major pop magazines and my music magazine is based
around the pop genre so it seems perfect. It would also mean my magazine will be
distributed globally and will signify its popularity as it is a good way to acknowledge
the UK based audience.
Therefore, my music magazine will also be
distributed to local sweet shops and major
supermarket’s so that it is noticed everywhere
around and not hard to find. This will increase a
bigger percentage of people to buy my magazine
as well due to the fact it will be noticed by all
around.
3. Continuation
Due to the fact that my magazine is targeted at a younger audience, its distribution
must be through institutions that are regularly used by them. These include places
like; supermarkets, shopping centers, and even in some cases local sweet shops.
However, my main aim will be the social media side of marketing such as; Apps
and websites. In order to keep this aspect going I included a website link for the
magazine at the bottom of the page, this is based on most of the pages as it is
located next to the page number so it is easily located and not forgotten as it is on
every page.
By using Apps and websites to replace hand made magazines as it will be more
economically friendly as magazines wont just be thrown away after one use as they
will be able to be stored digitally and easily accessible. Also it’s a lot easier as the
magazine is portable and wont take up any room in a bag as it is stored into a
persons technological device.
