3.What price would you be willing to pay for a magazine?

4.How often would you prefer magazines to be sold?

5.What is your favourite part of a magazine?

6.What do you dislike about magazines?

7.If a magazine had a section where its readers could send in letters, would you ever consider sending one in?

8.If a magazine ran competitions, would you consider entering one?

Answer 6

1.Do you read magazines often?

I work in the publishing industry so I get to read magazines for work and for pleasure.

2.If you saw a magazine in the shop, what would convince you to buy it?

The cover should always sell the magazine, either by a strong image or design, or a strong cover story.

3.What price would you be willing to pay for a magazine?

I think around US$4 would be the upper limit for me and most people, although less if you subscribe.

4.How often would you prefer magazines to be sold?

I think the magazine format is ideally suited to a monthly publication, although there are many weekly and bi-weekly titles operating very successfully around the world.

5.What is your favourite part of a magazine?

It depends on the magazine and the subject. There are some magazines where I like all the content.

6.What do you dislike about magazines?

Nothing really. Okay I know I am biased working in the industry but I really don't dislike anything.

7.If a magazine had a section where its readers could send in letters, would you ever consider sending one in?

Yes, and I have done. Feedback from readers is a vital part of the success of any magazine, whether that feedback is good or bad.

8.If a magazine ran competitions, would you consider entering one?

Yes again, although sadly I've not won - yet.

9.What do you think about full page adverts in magazines?

I know that advertising is what makes magazines work. Without adverts there wouldn't be any magazines. The price you pay for the magazine in the shop accounts for a small percentage of the overall income of the publication. I know readers hate too many adverts but from a publishers perspective the more adverts, the better.

10.Would you ever consider subscribing to a magazine?

Yes - and I do.

7.If a magazine had a section where its readers could send in letters, would you ever consider sending one in?Yes.

8.If a magazine ran competitions, would you consider entering one? If they had things that I found interesting, sure I would.

9.What do you think about full page adverts in magazines?Their okay if they're in fashion magazines such as Vogue or Teen Vogue, but if they're in magazines like Tiger Beat and J-14, just annoying.
