Local Newspaper Radio Advertisement Questionnaire

Would one of these advertisements encourage you to purchase your local newspaper?

Most people said if it was a good advertisement promoting the newspaper and stories being published then they would be more likely to purchase the newspaper and there were a few people who said it wouldn't make an impact on their desicion on buying the newspaper. I feel that it is worth having a radio advertisement because the marjority of people listen to the radio and it is a good source in getting your product out there.

What do you dislike about radio advertisements, please state why?

Most people i asked said they didn't like it when they have a tune from an advertisement stuck in their head. And others said they don't like it when advertisements are long and boring. So i will make sure my advertisement is short and to the point.

What do you like about radio advertisements, please state why?

When i asked people what they liked about radio advertisements most people said they liked it when the advertisement was short and to the point. So i will make sure my radio advertisement is short and to the point.

Please state how effective you think advertisements on the radio are?

When i asked people how effective they thougth advertisements on the radio are 15 people said they found advertisements on the radio very effective, 3 people said that they can be boring and 2 people said they don't like radio advertisements and don't find them effective. Because the marjority of people i asked said they do find them effctive i think this is a good indercation that my radio advertisement would be effective in encouraging people to buy their local newspaper.

I felt it was important to know who actually listened to their radio, out of the 20 people i asked all of them said they listen to their radio. So i now know this will be the best source to advertise my product.

I asked if people read their local newspaper to get an understanding of how many people and what age group's read their local newspaper, and who i'ld be marketing to. Out of the 20 people i asked 18 of them did read their local newspaper and the two people who didn't were from the 15-25 age group. This helps me identify what people i should be marketing my posters towards.


I asked a wide range in age groups from the age of 15 to 66+ , I did this because I wanted to know what all the different age groups liked and what I should put in my local newspaper radio advertisement to appeal to as many people as possible. Even though local newspapers are read mostly by the older generation i would like my newspaper to appeal to as many people as possible so i'll have a wider market. I feel my local newspaper advertisement poster will be very important to the sale of my newspaper. Because every age group listens to the radio either in their car, on their TV or through a house hold radio, i feel this is a good source to advertise my product.


I asked what gender people are because I felt it was an important impact to the results. I needed to know what the different genders liked and what I was going to cater for. I purposely asked an even amount of females to males because I felt this would be more of an honest result, and this way I’d know what both sexes liked. I asked the same people who were in my first and second questionnaire to fill out this quetionnaire to, i felt it would be better asking the same people because i felt this would do more justice to my results.

From Mrs S

Good work so far, I'm curious to see the results, particularly to the poster questionnaire.

Local Newspaper Advertisement Poster Questionnaire Annalysis

Please state what about the local newspaper advertisement poster would attract you more to buy the newspaper?
Mainly people stated that the story being advertised and the colour would attract them more to an advertisement poster. So i will make sure there is an eye catching story being advertised.
Would one of these advertisements encourage you to buy or read your local newspaper?
14 people out of the 20 people i asked said seeing an advertisement with a good story which is eye catching would encourage them to buy the newspaper. So it is worth having advertisement posters to encourage people to buy the newspaper.

Where do you normally see one of these advertisements?
I wanted to know where people noticed there local newspaper advertisement poster so i knew what places are effective and where i should be advertising my newspaper. The marjority of people said outside their local shops and at gas stations, with a few people saying train stations.



65% of people said the story being advertised attracts them to a local newspaper advertisement poster. Followed by 20% of people saying which newspaper it comes from is important to them. So i will make sure the story i advertise is eye grabbing and as appealling to as many people as possible.

Please state how affective you think your local newspaper advertisement posters are?
12 out of the 20 people i asked said they think their local newspaper posters are very affective. really notice there local newspaper advertisement posters. And out of the other 8 it was an even split with 4 people saying they don't really notice them and the other 4 people saying they are not effective at all. So i will have to make sure that my local newspaper advertisement poster is eye grabbing so more people notice them.

I asked if people read their local newspaper to get an understanding of how many people and what age group's read their local newspaper, and who i'ld be marketing to. Out of the 20 people 18 of them did read their local newspaper and the two people who didn't were from the 15-25 age group. This helps me identify what people i should be marketing my posters towards.

I asked a wide range in age groups from the age of 15 to 66+ , I did this because I wanted to know what all the different age groups liked and what I should put on my local newspaper advertisement poster to appeal to as many people as possible. Even though local newspapers are read mostly by the older generation i would like my newspaper to appeal to as many people as possible so i'll have a wider market. I feel my local newspaper advertisement poster will be very important to the sale of my newspaper.


I asked what gender people are because I felt it was an important impact to the results. I needed to know what the different genders liked and what I was going to cater for. I purposely asked an even amount of females to males because I felt this would be more of an honest result, and this way I’d know what both sexes liked. I asked the same people who were in my first questionnaire to fill out this quetionnaire to, i felt it would be better asking the same people because i felt this would do more justice to my results.

Local Newspaper Questionnaire Annalysis

I wanted to know what the public wanted from their local newspaper thats why i asked this question. The public wanted slightly more text then pictures within the newspaper but generally it is an even split. So i will make sure i cater to my buyers by providing this.


I asked this question to see what kind of newspaper the public wanted 95% of the people i asked said they wanted colour throughout their local newspaper. Only one person who was from the 66+ age group didn't want colour so i will make sure there is colour throughout my magazine.


I wanted to know what the general public wanted as the main story on the front cover, this is so i knew what would attract them to the newspaper. 35% of people stated that they wanted to see crime and punishment. Followed by 30% of peole wanting to see a piece on human interest. As the majority of people wanted to see crime and punishment on the front cover this is the main story i will be doing.


I asked this question because i felt it was important to know what the public wanted from their local newspaper. 95% of people said they prefer more pictures to text on the front cover. Leading on from this question i asked the buyer to state why and the general comments were becaure it's eye catching and doesn't seem so daunting.



I felt it was important knowing what attracts the buyer to their local newspaper because i want people to read and enjoy it. 75% of people said that the splash (main story on front cover) was the main thing that attracted them to their local newspaper. So i will make sure the splash is big, bold and interesting. 20% of people said that the photograph was the most important thing that attracts them to their local newspaper, this was mainly the younger audience but because i want my local newspaper to be read by all generations i will also make sure my picture is interesting and eye grabbing.


I felt knowing how much the buyer would spend on their local newspaper was very important, because if you want to sell you need to know the maximum people will pay. From my results I can see 15/20 people felt more comfortable paying between 10-20p for their local news paper. I will make sure my local newspaper when brought in local supermarkets, shops and gas stations is in this price range.


I felt it was important to know how often the public would purchase their local newspaper because ther's no point having producing more then the public want. 85% of people said they would purchase their local newspaper weekly. So i will be giving my newspaper out for free in a weekly addition.


90% people said they would be more likely to read their local newspaper if it was free. Because of this fact my local newspaper will defenetly be free. Because the advertisements from companys within my local newspaper i don't need the public to pay for it.


Do you know where you can purchase your Local Newspaper from, and please state where?


I wanted to know if the public knew where to purchase their local newspaper, 19 out of the 20 people i asked knew where they could purchase their local newspaper from. And the person who didn't was the youngest person who participated in my questionaire.
I then led on with my next question by asking them to state where they could purchase it from. The marjority of people said the supermarket, their local shop and gas stations.

Out of the 20 people i asked all of their house holds recieved their local newspaper for free and from my previous question i already know 18 out of these 20 read their local newspaper. Because of this result i will be giving my local newspaper away for free.


I asked if people read their local newspaper to get an understanding of how many people and what age group's read their local newspaper, and who i'ld be marketing to. Out of the 20 people i aked 18 of them did read their local newspaper and the two people who didn't were from the 15-25 age group.



I asked a wide range in age groups from the age of 15 to 66+ , I did this because I wanted to know what all the different age groups liked and what I should put in my local newspaper to appeal to as many people as possible. Even though local newspapers are read mostly by the older generation i would like my newspaper to appeal to as many people as possible so i'll have a wider market.


I asked what gender people are because I felt it was an important impact to the results. I needed to know what the different genders liked and what I was going to cater for. I purposely asked an even amount of females to males because I felt this would be more of an honest result, and this way I’d know what both sexes liked.
