Survey Monkey Results

Survey Monkey Results

My first question was simply what sex the audience is. I found that the answers were very good as it showed I had a nice mix of people answering my survey. With 2 males and 2 females i can get a varied result and find out what will improve my magazine. It will also show who will like aspects of my magazine more than others.

                                                                                                                                                                   

My second question was a bit more helpful as I found out how old the people answering are. I wanted to aim my magazine at people between the ages of 15 and 25. Everyone who answered my survey were 14-16 years old. This was great really as I believe people of this age will be listening to music a lot more than people who are of an older age.

                                                                                                                                                                   

This question sort of ruined my survey a little bit. It doesn't help that much receiving answers about music magazines from people who don't read them. On the other hand, it helps to get their opinion as this way, they'll show me what I should include if I would like to attract them as an audience. 

                                                                                                                                                                   

The only downside to this answer was the fact that it was skipped, which I cannot help. It did help on the fact that I now know why some people might not like music magazines. Seeing as someone answered 'I hate new music' shows that maybe it might help to show some older history of the genre.

                                                                                                                                                                   

After seeing these results, it gave me an insight into what exactly I had to include in my magazine. I saw that who I choose as a model for my main image is really important. This is because the people who answered my survey want to see a model that represents them more than anything else. Less people worry about the masthead and the issue number but that doesn't mean they're not very important.

                                                                                                                                                                   

Going by these results, most of my audience will be interested in reading about entertaining gossip and news. This is a great thing as it means following the common conventions of a magazine. Most magazines include articles about the latest celebrities doing something wrong or anything which would interest the public. I think this would be easier than most other options. 

                                                                                                                                                                   

I don't think most of the people who filled this out understood this question. Because everyone who filled them in are 14-16 years old, I highly doubt that any of them are upper middle class or middle class. I think I should have worded the question a bit differently. 

                                                                                                                                                                   

This question helped a little bit. It could have gone far better if I had more varied answers. This is no doubt because I shared it to a social networking website. Seeing as I shared it on this, I didn't get many people of ethnic origin. I'll remember never to make this mistake again as now I cannot take other most people into account.

                                                                                                                                                                   

I got great answers for this question. I found out what most people listen to. The only downside is that people were selecting most of the answers at a go. Not only this, but the people who answered the survey said that they don't like Hip-Hop which is the main genre of my magazine.
