Price/publishing.

The price of the magazine has to fit in with the target audience that I am choosing to relate to, those aged mainly from 15-24, with the exception of others aged 24-35. This meaning that the price isn't going to be something ridiculous like £10 each time. It will probably be inbetween the prices of Rock Sound and Kerrang! this making it kind of even as a rival against them two, it losing out slightly being being more expensive than Kerrang! which is priced at £2.20, which is also published and released weekly. Though it will be at a slight advantage against Rock Sound which is priced at £3.99, which is published and released monthly. In order to compete against these two magazines, which feature the same music genres as my own. The price would have to be placed around £3 each time, and released weekly to compete against Kerrang! The price, besides from the idea of competing against those two magazines, is also chosen at that price to be affordable for those who go to school, college, and work - but who are paid at quite a low rate. The released dates for every week are chosen due to not only being able to compete with Kerrang! but with the idea of making a slight profit, and also the idea of making the audience wait for a short period of time. Not to mention it's an easier date to remember, than for those magazines that are released monthly. It will also save pages, in the sense that in a week there is less news and information to cover, than there is in two weeks, or a month. This will make it slightly cheaper to produce, and publish.
