The price of my magazine. 

The target audience for my magazine is:

-Males and females 16 – 24.

-They will be in the SEG social grade E. As they will be students, either at university or college.

My target audience is similar to that of the magazines above. I feel that prices of some of these magazines (MOJO, Rolling Stone and Q) are too expensive. The prices of the other magazines (NME and KERRANG) are reasonable as you occasionally receive free CD’s and posters. I think the prices of nearly £4 and above are too much for students who can only get part time, minimum wage jobs so do not have a lot of money. If the price is too high the target audience will be put off buying it, and will go for the ‘cheaper option’.

The price of my magazine will be £2.50.

By making my magazine this price it is rivaling the prices of NME and KERRANG. Although it is 30p more I think it will more of a range of artists, with my genre being Indie-Pop it will include Indie artists and Pop artists, gaining more of an audience. It is also a lot cheaper then MOJO, Rolling stone and Q which will hopeful make the audience choose my magazine of the more expensive ones.

My magazine will be released  monthly, then it can contend with magazines which are most similar to it (NME, KERRANG). As my magazine is released monthly it will rival with Rolling Stone and Q, perhaps gaining some of their audience due to been similar yet also much cheaper.
