Questionnaire Results

For my questionnaire I got 26 responses through Facebook and 1 response on paper. The majority of the responses were from people of the age range of 15-17  which is just above my target age group. The response on paper was from someone in the age group of 12-14. There were also a few responses from people older than 17.

I asked questions like what are your favourite pop artists and what are your favourite kinds of articles that are probably going to be the most useful in creating my magazine. First I will talk about the kinds of articles question.

The types of articles that have gained the most votes are interviews, problem pages, fashion advice and latest gossip, with latest gossip leading them all. All of these 4 types of articles are quite equal in the number of votes which is a sign that I need to include a lot of these types of articles to truly impress and catch the attention of my target audience. The type of article that got the least amount of votes by getting considerably less than the others are adverts. This shows that I should not include as many adverts in my magazine as they are less liked. The rest of the types of articles: informative arguments, competitions, free posters, charts, calendars of upcoming events and reviews: are all quite equally in the middle with the amount of votes reached. This connotes that there should be a reasonable amount of these types of articles featured in my magazine; however, not too many as they are not the most liked in the results.

The other question I wish to talk about is the question that asked about people favourite pop artists.

This question is useful as it helps me understand what types of artists I should feature in my magazine. Here is a tally of the results shown: (this will include the paper result as well)
Olly Murs: 1
Green Day: 1
Justin Bieber: 2
Taylor Swift: 2
Bruno Mars: 1
Adele: 2
Ed Sheeran: 2
Shawn Mendes: 1
Pink: 1
James Bay: 1
Meghan Trainer: 1
Little Mix: 2
Calvin Harris: 1
Katy Perry: 1
Ariana Grande:1
There was not an overall winner in the tallies but the artists with 2 votes, I will try and feature and I may also feature the artists with 1 vote. I will not have photos of these artists however as I feel I should make up my own artists as I am taking my own original photography. I will have articles about these artists on my contents page to show that I have acknowledged the wishes of people either in or just outside my target audience and have acted on the questionnaire.

I would like to talk about this question as the result I received surprised me a bit. I thought more people in my age group will have bought magazine regularly however according to these results , 81.81% of the people who took my survey either occasionally or never buy magazines. As someone who buys monthly magazines and buys magazine regularly this surprised me quitter a lot. However, I will act on the fact that 13.64%  do buy monthly magazines. In response to this I will create a monthly magazine.
