Price and when pubished

The price of my magazine will be in the range of £2.50 to £3 for a regular issue, special issues such as bumper issues or holiday issues will cost around about £4 but the issues will be double in size and contain extra freebies such as promotional CD’s from popular and upcoming bands or mix tapes of bands to look out for in the forthcoming months/year. My magazine will be published once every two weeks, this relates to my price as I believe this is affordable for my target audience as then will be able to save up £2.50 - £3 over a fortnight from pocket money for the younger readers or money from EMA or work from the older readers. This is a reasonable price in comparison to other music magazines on the market at the current point in time.
Kerrang! - £2.20
Rock Sound - £3.99
Metal Hammer - £4.75
Blunt - £10
Q - £3.99

Target Audince.

The target audience that I have chosen to associate my magazine with will be people aged 15 – 25 as this is the mainstream. But can also be enjoyed by anyone who listens to the genres covered in my magazine or are just interested in music as a general topic. Examples of magazines that use the same target audience are; Kerrang!, NME and Q.
