What kind of media institution might distribute

your media product and why?

How my product would be created?

To start the production of my magazine I would collect together ideas of what could be in the magazine. I would then research into these ideas and decide which was the best. After finalising my idea I think is the best, I would draw out a flat plan to see visually what it would look like. I would then write my article for my double page spread. Following the flat plans I would go find which models would be most appropriate for my genre and look. After this I would then go and shoot the images of my models in the appropriate costumes, location etc. This would then be followed by the making & editing of my magazine.

A distributors role.

A distributors role in a magazine production is to work on behalf of a magazine publisher. Each distributor has many publishers and their main role is to provide the market & clients for the publisher.

What company would distribute your product?

Why?IPCMEDIA:

I looked into ipcmedia at the magazines that this company already distribute and this would company would be ideal to distribute my magazine because there isn’t a pop magazine already although there is gossip and music magazines mine combines both of these so therefore there would be a gap in the market for mine, which will bring a whole new audience in.. As you can see below there isn’t many music magazines already distributed by IPCMEDIA apart from NME and Uncut, which both of these are under the genre of rock.

Why?BAUER:I then looked at another distributor called Bauer. This distributor doesn’t have as many products as another distributor like IPCMEDIA. I look through to see what they already distributed and I couldn’t find that they already distributed any magazines similar to mine, meaning there was no pop magazines. Therefore there is a big gap in the market which my magazine can fit. This will then bring in a whole new audience for this distributor because if there is no magazines in the pop genre, all the audience of pop will follow. As you can see below there is some examples of the magazines Bauer distribute and there is a few music magazines and but not pop.

What company would distribute your product?

Why?Condenast

After looking into Condenast I found out they don’t distribute any music magazines, therefore there is a big gap in the market because there is nothing similar to my magazine so this would benefit them quite a bit because it would bring in a whole new audience and therefore this will bring in money for them.

Advertisement of my product.

I created a board on Pinterest to show different ways in which my magazine would be advertised. Below are the pins that I placed.

Product distribution!

My Product will be distributed not only through shops but also online monthly subscriptions, phone subscriptions and getting it sent to their house at the same time every month.
