The target audience for my media product would be mainstream teenaged girls who like to keep relatively up to date with the latest music and fashion. They would normally were a simple outfit of jeans or shorts, a plain or casual tee or vest top, maybe a hoodie or a jacket, and some converse trainers or something similar. When shopping they may sometimes go for slightly more expensive brands such as Hollister or Jack Wills, but often they wouldn't obsess with having the most expensive things and would like to dress simply and for comfort rather than style.
I think they would purchase my magazine because it represents what they may like in their lifestyles: simple yet interesting. By setting my magazine out in the format I have, I believe I have made it relatable not only to the target audience but also similar to other magazines while challenging some of the codes and conventions of professional media products. Doing so, I feel it may encourage readers to buy my magazine.
I believe that bands and artists featured in the magazine should have their merchandise, tour dates and gig tickets advertised in the magazine as this is what the audience would probably be interested in. For example, someone may only buy a magazine because they see a particular artist on the cover, rather than because of the regular content of the magazine. Another reason is because they may be interested in purchasing tickets, for example, as they have not yet had the opportunity to see a band or artist that they like live. By regularly advertising different things like merchandise and tickets for the bands and artists featured, I feel that the sales would increase as it may give readers an exclusive opportunity to purchase these things that they may not otherwise know about.
