Publication Plan

Title:  AMP

Positioning statement: Get ready to plug in!

Frequency of publication: From my audience research i have found that selling my magazine monthly is better for the audience because people dont buy them weekly becuse they dont have enough money each week

Price: £3.00 i have chosen this price because my audience liked it the most.

Distribution: news agents, super markets, music shops and gigs.

Rationale:  my magazine is a magazine for the fans. We will listen to their opinions, promoting both these and our own views about current, past or upcoming artists

Style: I will offer strong opinions and I will speak in an informal way using indie slang that fans of indie music will understand because the magazine is for that genre. I will include quotes of famous artists.

 Images will be dominant in the magazine sometimes spreading across two pages.
