Questionnaire analysis


Questionnaire analysis

After researching and producing a questionnaire, there are many results that need to be taken into account. With the results that I received it was apparent that 55% of the results came from females and the other 45% came from males therefore this shows that perhaps females may be more interested than males about a college magazine. When asking whether students would be willing to pay for a magazine only 30% said that they would. Therefore this means that a college magazine should either be free or no more than 50p so that people will be willing to buy and read the magazine. When asking students what would encourage them to by a magazine there were various things that popped up for example:

·         Free stuff

·         Music

·         College information

·         Vouchers

As 80% of students who answered the questionnaire said that they check their college emails regularly, it may seem that by reminding students that the magazine is going to be out may encourage them to buy it. When finding out how often students would like a magazine to be issued 50% said that they would like to have one out every month and 25% of students who responded stated that they would be willing to make a contribution to the magazine.

Things that came up when asking what students would like to see in the magazine are:

·         Film reviews                                     

·         Music

·         Interviews

·         Sport

·         CafĂ© menu

·         Events

·         Trips

·         College information

·         Politics

·         Gossip

·         Picture

With this information there were some topics that were more popular than others which were music, sports events trips and gossip. With the addition that students want the college magazine cover to be bright and colourful containing pictures of students that are taken by students.

As 100% of responses said that they do not currently read the college magazine this shows that the current magazine is not working. This however could be a result of them not doing it right or having the correct information in it.
