Publication plan
Title: AMG
positioning statement: your music guide.
Frequency of publication: after looking at my questionnaire results I have decided to release my music magazine every month. I chose this because about ¾ of the people who completed my questionnaire chose monthly.
Price: my original price was £3.75; however after looking at my questionnaire results I have released this might put my target audience off buying my magazine at such a high price. Therefore I have chosen to sell my magazine at £3.00
Distribution: my music magazine will be distributed in supermarkets, news-agents, music arenas and music shops.
Style: the style of my magazine will be informal and have a quirky style I will use humour and give opinions finally it will use medium/complex vocabulary. I plan to use NME as my guidance.
