ReplyDeleteSome of your target audiences are very wide, too wide in fact and need to be more focused. For example, you have said that the comic book is aimed at people aged 10 and above. This category includes 80 year old pensioners and it is hard to imaging that they are the target audience for super hero comics. Your age groups need to be arrange, remember that a target audience is the group of people that the producers have in mind when they create and produce their media products.
You also have not included any psychographic audiences, lifestyle choices, preferences etc are also important when identifying a target audience. Reply to this post and include a psychographic audience and ensure that your ages are a range.
