Questionnaire Results

Results From My Questionnaire.

 For my student college magazine, I created a questionnaire that would ask my target audience how they wanted their magazine. I asked 10 open and closed questions in order to gain information about their preferences, including about cover lines and different theme colours for the magazine. The first question asked was if the students read a student magazine and 90% of the results came back negative. The second question asked was about the different colours that attract the students to magazines and the 5 top colours that came back were black, blue, red, green and white.

 This then went onto the third question in which was asked how often the students would like their magazine, the results came back quite varied but 30% preferred every month and the same for every term. When we asked how much the students would pay, most of them, at 40%, said they preferred to pay nothing and 20% said they’d pay 50p for the magazine. The top rated contents that the students wanted to see were music, food, competitions, fashion and revision guides, this meant that I could use these for my cover lines when I made this magazine.

 When asked, the students said they would definitely like free stuff (95%!), which means that the price of the magazine can easily be put up to 50p rather than nothing. On the front of the magazines, for the main cover image, the students much preferred to see students and students work instead of teachers as the students could relate this to. For both multi-plat forming and for advertisements, the students wanted them, as this would sell the magazine to them as they are used to the digital world and magazines having many advertisements in which they can find new stuff from.

 Finally, the students decided that they wanted their magazine to be distributed to either the coffee shop or to the reception, as these are popular places that students usually approach when they have money.
