INITIAL PLANS FOR MY MAGAZINE!

Using the results of my resarch, I have made decisions about my magazine:

Price
£2.00

Frequency of publication
Weekly

Average issue size
80-90 pages

Regular content
Gig reviews,upcoming gigs, compettions, new artists section, charts, free gift.

Feature articles
Exclusive interviews, latest updates on artists, major news on the music genre of my magazine.


After conducting my research on the market place, I decided that "classicrock"/"rock" would be the genre of my magazine. The reasons for this is that it reflects a genre of music that I am passionite for and that there are many other rock style magazines that I could compete with and base my new product on. I have chosen the target audience 18+ year olds of both gender.

The price of my magazine will be £2.00 because after collecting research on other rock magazines, the average price was £2.20. I lowered my price in order to increase sales as my price beats the average rock magazine price.

The release of my publication will be monthly as I found that the average rock magazine such as MOJO and UNCUT are both released monthly.


Furthermore, the avergae issue size's of most rock magazines are roughly 80 pages. Therefore, I decided that my magazine will be roughly 80-90 pages so that my magazine would be able to sell as well as other magazines.

Like other rock magazines, my regular content will include gig reviews, upcoming gigs, charts and a new artists section and my feature contnets will have exclusive interviews and information and news on the latest artists in my genre of music. To show compettion in my magazine, i will include a free gift or download each time the magazine is published.
