Target Audience for my Magazine

Demographic

Women's fashion magazines usually aim for their target audiences to be women, but it can also be for men and young girls as well.

Using female celebrities and models in the cover image and feature article of the magazines allow for the target audience of women to connect and want to purchase.

Artists, either male or female, use women's fashion as inspirations almost all the time. Whether for new style ideas or photoshoot ideas, and more.

For example, the Seventeen magazine's target audience are 11-21 years old females and the GQ magazine's target audience are 20-44 years old males.

How & Where do Women's Fashion Magazines Publish?

From what I am researching, I can see that magazines publish by shooting the editorial and then sending it to the magazine to ask for approval.

This process goes for women's fashion magazines as well. The publishment of my genre's magazines is usually in print, but it can also be available online.

Truth to be told, one magazine in specific (InStyle) announced in February of 2022 that they would "cease print publications and move to a digital-only format."

I believe that print publications are easier to read whereas digital publications are easier to access. It is good to be in the in-between when it comes to this topic though.

How Frequently are Women's Fashion Magazines Published?

Women's fashion magazines are published depending on the magazine company that sells them. For example: Vogue publishes monthly per year, Elle publishes monthly per year, Seventeen publishes monthly per year, and etc.

However there are some magazines that have changed their routine and are no longer issuing monthly. According to this article (https://wwd.com/business-news/media/fashion-magazines-continue-decline-frequency-1235138387/), the monthly magazine seems to be no more.
