Consumer Survey 1
The results of the survey were very successful in regards to my choices within this project and gave a good amount of evidence that has leaded me to confidently further this idea. Below are some key statistics; the full survey can be found within the appendix (*7):
·         75% of consumers buy wedding magazines for their inspirational value
·         24% of consumers are also looking for a niche or theme for their wedding
·         The most popular content within wedding magazines is:
§         Research conducted into different wedding fields i.e. venues, cakes, etc,
§         Fashion and dress inspiration and also technical DIY pieces
§         Research directory, opportunities and discounts
·         67% would prefer more written articles with readily researched issues.
·         Balanced format of traditional/ contemporary styles were preferred
·         In regards to the most requested style/ layout of the magazine 65% of consumers said they would prefer our new, innovative imagery magazine that would offer more inspiration.
·         67% answered they would like the aesthetics of the magazine to be creative and interesting
·         Budget plans and price comparison selections were chosen over self directed research.
·         Most popular magazine statistics:
o        Pay as you go
o        Monthly issues

·         The next answers are the most popular answers covering the background of the survey consumers and potential target market of my enterprise:
