I am now taking a brief look at the page numbers and prices of several popular rock music magazines that would be associated with a target audience similar to my own. This is to get a firm understanding of the price range that competitors use compared to the quantity of material they provide for their clients.
In Kerrang! magazine, there are around 63 pages in each issue. As the magazine comes out weekly, we can see that this is an acceptable number of pages for their audience and this is also reflected in the price of the magazine, which stands at £2.20 per issue or per week for subscriptions.
Q magazine on the other hand is a monthly magazine, which is why it costs £3.90, ranking in at a considerably higher price than Kerrang!. This can also be shown by the larger quantity of pages, of which Q has 166.
Similarly to Kerrang!, NME is a weekly magazine and only costs the consumer £2.20, however NME has a total of 70 pages. This means that NME offers more content to their clients for the same price as Kerrang! which shows the competitive market between these two magazines.
