Music Magazine Questionnaire Analysis

I asked people in a random order to fill out my magazine questionnaire; I asked a total of 15 people, 11 males and 4 females, the ages ranged from 16-30. Of the males there was a wide variety of ages and they mostly buy a magazine every week, also I asked a variety of ages for women and they mostly buy there magazines monthly. From the males I asked, most of them buy Dubstep music magazines and a larger quantity read Hip Hop magazines too, of the women most of them buy Indie music magazines. Also most males are more encouraged to purchase a magazine if it is cheap or includes free offers with it, and most females were encouraged to buy a magazine because of the stories included in it. Also males are more likely to buy a magazine from either newsagents or from a supermarket instead of online or somewhere else, plus the majority of women purchased their magazines from a supermarket. Men are more likely to purchase a magazine if it has more images than text; females are the opposite and prefer more text than images. Moreover males are more likely to go on foot to get there magazine than by vehicle or getting it delivered, whereas women are more likely to go by vehicle. Most males would be less inclined to buy a magazine that doesn’t have an interesting image on the front cover whereas the majority of women wouldn’t be affected by it. There was a different variety but males would prefer a posed picture on the front than a snatched picture, whereas women would prefer the opposite. When I asked for any additional information, one male said “I love my Hip Hop magazines so I can circle my favourite artists and their new songs to download off iTunes.” Furthermore a female said “I like music magazines as it keeps me in touch with the music scene which helps when I go clubbing.”
