Task 5 (D1:U21) Evaluate Response

 

How will I use this feedback to my advantage? 

Overall I will use all feedback adequetly where I think it is most needed in order to improve my magazine to be the best it can possibly be. I will adapt and change all points of feedback given whether it be a major or a minor change. The feedback is crucial in order for my magazine to accurately show what I'm hoping to promote. However, some feedback given I feel I do not need to use as it will not improve my magazine. 

Feedback from client:

• Target audience is clever 
• Is radio best way to appeal to target audience 
• Really good inclusivity  
• Really good price 
• Make advice and tip based on romance 
• Make sure streaming service links to title and its seen on my double paged spread 
• whole article on bus stop

Evaluation of feedback:

Target audience is really clever - The client felt as though having a target audience aged 12- 19 was perfect as it included the age I am and as a result I will know how to target the magazine to people my age. Also the age ratings for films go from a 12 to 18 and by having this age within my primary target audience allows me to include a wide range of films. As a result I will be keeping my primary target audience the same as the content of my magazine will engage and appeal to my target audience. 

Is radio the best way to appeal to target audience - The client felt as though radio didn't really appeal to my target audience as he doesn't think many people will listen to radio. However, I feel this is a perfect way to appeal my secondary target audience to my magazine which is 20-35 as these people are more likely to listen to radio in their car on their daily commutes. As a result I will be keeping radio as a way of advertising my magazine as I feel this is the best way to attract and appeal to the secondary target audience.

Really good inclusivity - The client felt that having a magazine that includes women from all races, religions, ethnicities and backgrounds is really important for my magazine. He stated that this is a great opportunity to make all women feel welcome and included especially in this age where inclusivity is very important and promoted. As a result I will be keeping the inclusivity of women in my magazine as it will allow me to gain a wide audience and make all women who come across my magazine feel welcome.

Make advice and tips based on romance films - The client felt that it was crucial to have all of the articles link back to romance movies and I completely agree. Due to this, one of my articles in about advice and tips just like the movies and as a result I will link articles back to romance movies. By doing this I wont only be intriguing my readers which will keep them engaged but also this will ensure that the content is still relevant. As a result I have decided to change my article to link the romance advice to films.

Really good price and subscription - The client felt that my price of £4 per issue was perfect for my target audience as its not too expensive but also enough for a high quality magazine which I'm hoping to make. £4 for 40 pages each month is around 10 pence per pay that you read which is great value for money. He also said that the subscription is great as people will be getting value for their money and getting an extra magazine will really entice the readers as they are getting an extra. As a result I will be keeping the price of my subscription.

Make sure streaming service link to romance genre - The client felt as though the streaming service didn't link to my romance genre and so it didn't feel relevant to the magazine. My streaming service right now is called LOZ studios and now as a result of the feedback I am going to change it to love studios as the word love perfectly links back to my genre. He also liked the other streaming service I included which is Max as this is recently been regenerated and he felt I will be able to re-expose this streaming platform well. As a result of the feedback I have decided to change the name of my streaming service but keep the well known one to make sure everything links to my theme.

Include a whole article on a bus stop poster - The client felt that in order to interest and engage people at bus stops I would need to include a whole article on the poster. This way the readers could have a snapshot into what my magazine is like to see if they would be interested in buying and reading my magazine again. This I thought was a good idea however I don't want to include just an article as this wont have enough context for the reader about what my magazine is about I think instead I will include a short article as well as pictures, social media references as well as other things. As a result I feel as though I will partly take on board the feedback given as I will include an article alongside other pieces of information to make sure I advertise my magazine in the best way to attract my readers
