Evaluation Activity 3

I would try and get IPC media to distribute my music magazine because it is one of the most known company’s for distributing music magazines. I would like to advertise my music magazine on music channels such as kiss because this is one of the most popular music channels amongst teenagers so I feel my magazine would benefit from this.

I would compare my magazine to NME as we are both trying to attract the same audience this could be considered as a draw back because NME’s audience is declining already my magazine might be seen as competition for it. There are lots of the same types of magazine as you can see from the side for example there are 3 magazines alone just on shooting this reflects the amount of money IPC Media have.

I decided to distribute my issue at £1.50 per copy because this I thought was a reasonable price and was a lot cheaper compared to other music magazines. As I was comparing my magazine to NME I looked at there price per print copy and this was £1.45 because mine was more modern and new I thought I would make it 5p more expensive.

I would advertise my music magazine in shops such as HMV where they sell music CD’s, Films and posters regarding certain bands. This is one of the most popular shops to buy Music and films from and so I think that advertising my music magazine here would be a good place to choose. I am not currently familiar with them selling any other music magazines so this could be a risk seeing as they do not sell any currently, but it would be a risk I was willing to take. If I decided that I would not go for selling my music magazine at HMV then I would sell it in supermarkets such as Tesco’s and Asda because they sell a range of different magazines.
