Social Class and Demographics

I will be aiming to see my magazine R&R, which stands as a short for Rock and Roll to young teenagers towards young adults. I would say that my age target will be from the age of 14-30 years old. This is because I would say that 14 is the age in which kids start to listen to music more and also they decide specific music what they like. I have ended my age category because I feel that at the age of 30 people will still have a strong feeling towards Rock and Roll. In addition to this, I feel that after the age of 30, even though people will still like Rock and Roll, I believe that they won't read magazine no more because they have more important things such as working and spending time with their family. Because I have aimed my magazine at a young category, I believe that if I placed my magazine at a high price not a lot of people would buy it because they won't be gaining much income at such a young age, and when they do gain money they will tend to spend it on other things. Therefore, I believe I will price my magazine at around about £1.99 because that way my magazine won't be very expensive, and more importantly it will allow more youngsters to purchase the magazine. In terms of gender, even though more men like Rock music, I am going to aim my magazine at both male and female's. This is because some girl's still like listening to rock music therefore by aiming the magazine towards female's as well as males, I will get a higher profit as more people will buy my magazine. However, this means that I will need to be careful because by aiming the magazine at male's and female's, I will need to make sure there are no sexist comments what will offend either gender in the magazine.

 This is the Social Class Table, which will give me a better idea of what majoritites and percentages of class my magazine will be aimed at, and who the target audience is. I am aiming my magazine at class E students because this category is aimed at people who are still in Education and my magazine is aimed at ages between the age of 14 and 25 years. However, some people between these ages will be working so this means they will be a higher class, probably a D or a C2. Therefore, this means I cannot aim my magazine's to one particular class because by doing this, I won't get as many people buying the magazine because there is more than one social class category what I am aiming my magazine to.
