Social Demographic of my Magazine

To state which social class you will be aiming your magazine at and why.

I will aim my magazine at skilled working class and working class because from my research I found out that majority of the people that read magazines of my chosen genre (alternative rock) have an average age of 20 and are students so they might be working part time so their salary won't be very high or they might get pocket money from their parents or carers. 

To decide on the price of the magazine, and explain why you have chosen this price point.

The price of my magazine will be £1.99 because I have taken into consideration the age and the type of people that would read my magazine, students and/or part time workers with the average age of 20.

To state if you are having a monthly or weekly distribution and why you have made this choice.

I think a bi-weekly distribution would be good because the buyers won't be spending that much money on the magazines, a maximum of £3.98 per month if they were to religiously buy the magazine which isn't that much, and it gives them something to read in a relatively short amount of time and it would give me enough time to construct the magazine so it wont be rushed. 

State what free gifts/ prizes your target audience would like by reflecting on their social class.

I think my target audience would like free posters to maybe decorate their rooms with and competition to be in for a chance of winning a prize for example tickets to concerts, events and festivals. 

How the social class table has helped you targeting your audience. 

The social class table has helped me with my target audience because it lets me know what type of people fit into certain classes and has helped me decide a price. Also it might help me to decide what type of content to include in my magazine. 

State where your product will be distributed. 

I think it would be best if my magazine was distributed on smart phones and devices because a lot of students and people aged around 20 own and frequently use smart phones and other devices that give them access to the internet. I would also like to have a printed copy distributed because  some people would much rather read from paper. Maybe the readers could choose on my magazine's website weather they would like a digital copy and/or a printed copy or I could include something like a subscription thing, where a person could get a discount if they subscribed to the digital and/or the printed copy.
