To compete with my competition, I will charge slightly less money for my magazine. This may convince people to buy my magazine. I will also produce my magazine weekly, as do Kerrang and NME. My magazine will have a catchline to make the name more memorable (if it is an abbreviation) or to add appeal for the target audience.
