Promotion methods/New Media
- 2. I gathered results from my survey and I found out that concert tickets were the most desired give away, making it a very effective promotional method. As my magazine is mainly indie but it is also has other genres inside as well, it would be effective as I could give away free concert and festival tickets, to indie festivals such as two door cinema club etc… Having concert giveaways would benefit my magazine and the profits I would make because the audience and readers would buy magazine hoping they would win the free tickets, plus these tickets would appeal to all ages reading GIVEAWAYS:
- 3. SUBSCRIPTION: In addition, I will also try and promote my magazine by having subscription deals, by making sure my reader and audience would feel as if they are benefitting by subscribing to my magazine, by maybe including small freebies or giveaways or special deals along with the subscription. Completing this would hopefully secure sales each month increasing the amount of profit made. By subscribing my readers would have the magazine delivered to their door every month, so its easy and pleasurable for them to read, rather than it feeling like a chore to go out and buy it at a high street store. The details of subscription would be included on my contents page or a separate page, so its clear and easy to read and notice, increasing the chances of more subscriptions.
