Questionnaire Analysis (Music Magazine)

Questionnaire Analysis

1.      Are you male or female?

The answers to this were male or female, for the questionnaires I handed out there were a 50/50 split on genders which came as a surprise as I didn't intend for this to happen, however it allowed a gender equal feedback.

2.      Do you like music?

The answers to this were yes or no; this was a pretty obvious question to answer as everyone likes some sort of music. 100% of people circled yes and no one even hesitated on it.

3.      What is your age in-between these selections?

Here are the answers to the questions:

10-15        16-25        26-35        36-45        45+

I handed out six questionnaires to people, 1 of them was in the 10-15 regions, 2 were 16-25 and the last 3 were in 26-35. For this question there wasn't as much variety as I hoped as I could have got a few more ideas for my magazine if there were older people.

4.      How often do you listen to music?

Here are the answers to the questions:

1hr/week        2hr/week        3hr/week        4hr/week        5hr+/week

2/3 of the people questioned listened to 5 plus hours of music a week, however the other 1/3 were on the 2 hours a week section.

5.      Who are your favorite 3 artists?

Here, I gave them a choice of their own on their favorite 3 artists. However there was no specific trend within a specific artist. Personally I believe this is an anomaly within my results. I will not question more people as I decided on six questionnaires.

6.      How often should the magazine come out?

For this question I gave the option of once a week or once a month. Everyone put once a month which I believe flows to the 8^th and  10^th question which was the pricing of the magazine, monthly seems like it would cost more and that’s where it links in the questionnaire.

7.      What are your top 3 genres of music?

Here, I gave them another few choices of their own. The genres that popped up in popularity were, Pop, then rap, then rock. My magazine will be a rap magazine, therefore I can cater to the ones who enjoy rap.

8.      How often do you read music magazines?

Here are the answers I gave:

Daily        Weekly        Monthly        Yearly        Never

Linking to the 6^th questions analysis, 100% of them said they wanted once a month.  In this question it seems that they only read magazines on a monthly basis – which in my eyes doesn’t seem like too bad of a plan for my magazine as it will draw in the majority if they want monthly.

9.      How do you access music?

For this question I gave the options of the internet, CDs or vinyl. 5/6 chose the internet on how they access music. The alternative person chose CDs. Within my magazine I could promote a website as the majority of my answers were regarding the internet.

10.  How much would you pay for a music magazine?

The majority of the people I asked went for the £3.99 mark as they said it to be a monthly magazine, however someone else bumped it up to £5 as they thought it would be a reasonable price for a good magazine.

11.  Where do you purchase your music?

I gave the options of Online and in store. 5/6 chose online as this links to question 9. The alternative person chose in store as they liked CDs.




For all the information I got from my questionnaires, I will use the majority’s idea of having my magazine at £3.99. From the start, I decided to have a rap magazine. As rap is some people’s favourite genre I can cater to them. Also, the reasoning for this is because most of the people who chose to do the questionnaire were younger, again, most likely catering to them.
