Questionnaire analysis

Questionnaire analysis

In my questionnaire I asked 7 different people 8 questions regarding to my planning of music magazine. The first question I asked was simply are you male or female? 5 of the 7 people said they were male and the other 2 were female. This helps me to try and see my different sort of target audiences to where I make my magazine more female or male based. But when I do start to write my audiences I won’t actually pick a gender target audience I will just make it mixed so it is suitable for both sexes.

The next question that I asked in my questionnaire is how old are each of the participants. One stated that they were 0-10 years old then 4 said they were 11-20 and the other two said they were 40+. This helps me revolve around what age I should focus my target audience on. Out of this research I have decided to go with the teenager route of 11-20 year olds as purely I have more data based around that age than any other.

Now for this question I asked, ‘What type of music are you into?’ Every single person I actually asked said pop apart for one how ticked rape. This now gives me a very good idea of what to focus my magazine around of which music genre and focus on articles about that.

Question 3 was do you often buy music magazines out of the seven only one actually said yes and this person was not a teenager they were in fact 40+. This is quite a negative piece of information but the key word in the question was ‘often’ so they may still by music magazines but not as frequently as some people.

The next question in the questionnaire was, ‘How much would you spend on a music magazine?’ For this question I got a mixed range of answers the most same answer I got was 2 people and that was for 2 different answers, one of them was £1.51-£2.00 and the other was £2.00-£2.51. This really helps me in finding how much to price my magazine because I do actually have 2 answers to choose from.

After that question I then asked ‘how long do you spend reading music magazines?’ Here the majority bare one said 0-15 minutes but the other said 16-30 minutes. This helps me in finding how long and detailed I should make my magazine because if I try to make the whole magazine an hours read not many people would actually read the whole of it.

For my next question I asked, ‘What type of music articles do you read?’ Most people apart from 2 said that they would rather listen to pop articles than any other this helps me now to know what people are most likely to read and find the most interesting.

Then finally for my last question I asked, ‘Where would you buy your magazine from?’ Everyone apart form 2 people actually said that they would buy their music magazine in a newsagent. This helps me into knowing where to send my magazines when they are published to be sold at the highest rate because the majority of people will actually be looking there.
