survey monkey feedback...

These are the results and feedback I got from my survey on Survey Monkey;

Question one;

From this I can see that the majority of the people who did the survey prefers Rock music to any other but Punk was close second with only one less person who voted. I could use magazines such as Kerrang! or Rocksound for inspiration for my music magazine as they are made for fans of Rock, Punk and Metal music. 

Question two;

From this I can see that most of the people who did the survey do read music magazines which means that there could be competition if my magazine was to be released. To ensure that my magazine beat the rivals I would have to see what sort of things the audience would want featured in it. 

Question three;

From this feedback it shows me that most of the people brought a certain make of magazine everytime it came out, that changed between once a week or once every two weeks depending on what magazine it was. The rest of the people who said they brought music magazines said they only brought them when they saw bands they liked on the cover. If my magazine was to be made  the audience could either send in requests or go online to say what they would like featured in the next issue, this would help ensure that people brought the magazines frequently not just every so often.

Question four;

This shows me that maybe there wouldn't be too much competition if my magazine would be released because most of the audience felt that there wasn't enough magazines that fitted the genre of music they listened to. Although it doesn't show what genre people thought there wasn't enough of.

Question five;

This was my final question on my survey and it allowed people to comment on what they would like to see in music magazines, most of the responses were things like posters, interviews, tour dates and new album releases. This shows me what the audience wants to see more of and puts me to an advantage because I now know what people want to see and can put them in my magazine. I wont be making a whole magazine just the cover, contents and a double page spread but these responses let me know what things i could put on the cover and in the contents pages.

Doing this online survey really helped me see what sort of things people wanted featured in magazines and let me know what genre was most popular with the people I asked. Although this alone is not enough audience research so I should do surveys in town and places like that so I can reach a wider audience and see what else people think of music magazines.
