Questionnaire results.

To gather a better idea of what I may need to include in my magazine, I issued 20 questionnaires to a varying audience concerning Indie music and in general, music magazines. The answers to the questions will give me an insight into what genres of music Indie fans like other than their usual style, which age and gender more frequently purchase music magazines, bands and artists the audience would like to read about and a possible name for my magazine may be achievable within the answers to the question, 'Which three words do you associate with the genre of Indie'

After receiving the information I required to be able to make a successful magazine, I put it into pie charts so it was easier to make out the more popular answer for each question. Here are my results:

When looking at the pie charts it is clear to see that the most popular purchases are either weekly or monthly. The monthly segment is slightly larger and so evidently, monthly magazines are more successful within my genre. Also, the age group that are more fond of Indie music magazines appear to be those of 16-20 by a rather significant amount.

This pie chart was formed from a question of which the audience had a variety of answers they could choose. Quite rightfully, as the audience were those interested in Indie music, Indie was the genre that had the more dominant section of the pie chart. Getting an insight in to what sort of music Indie fans appreciate when accompanied with Indie is quite useful however as it could possibly be used within the music magazine.

Question five was 'Who is your favourite artist/band associated with Indie music'. This was open to any answer the audience chose. Five out of twenty of the audience chose 'Arctic Monkeys' as their favourite band. Four chose 'The Wombats'. Three chose 'Kings of Leon'. Three chose 'Mumford and Sons'. Two chose 'Florence and the machine' and two also chose 'Coldplay'. One member of the audience chose 'The Smiths'.
