Promotional methods are different ways in which I can promote my magazine both in a traditional and modern way. Planning a promotional campaign for my magazine is essential as I want people to know my magazine and what it is about. The dream and goal of every music magazine is to become big as “Billboard”, “mojo” and many others, and that’s my dream as well. If the promotional methods are the right ones, meaning that they will reach my target audience and persuade people to buy my magazine then it will eventually become successful. Firstly I will need to concentrate on my target audience and my main concepts of my magazine will be to inspire, entertain, influence and educate . Remixed magazine searches to expand in developed countries as is an expensive magazine , also it will need to acquire a local partner which will be able to give financial strength for the magazine to be able to globally expand . Some of the most popular promotional methods would be by having GIVEAWAYS , this will make my target audience happy and entertained and they will definitely will want to buy my magazine if they know that they will get something back from the money they’ve spent. Also my magazine offers a subscription service, this is also very effective as this would mean that they will receive a discount when buying my magazine and as my target audience makes up mostly young people they will be thrilled to have the opportunity to save some money. Some other basic promotional methods would be to have leaflets of my magazine in music stores, such as HMV, or big shopping centers e.g. Westfield's, Selfridges; furthermore my magazine could be a sponsor in festivals and concerts and this will reach a lot of my target audience.

PROMOTIONAL METHODS

The other side of the promotional campaign will be by using NEW MEDIA, this is everything that will be done by using the internet and social media. Firstly my magazine will have it’s own website , here people can access my magazine by creating their own personal account and by subscribing directly online. Social media now at days is one of the most important platforms, everyone has or at least has heard of social media , it’s where everyone communicates with each other , shares opinions , finds out new interests and more. My magazine will appears on social networks such as twitter, Instagram, Facebook, snapchat and YouTube. Here is where my magazine will reach the majority of its target audience.
