Book Format Audience Targeting

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Book Format (E Books). A sample of responses:

• I chose B because I feel the cover captures my attention more than the other one.
• I like this one better, without the face.
• This title flows better.
• The face makes it more compelling to me.
• The bright blue eyes and subtle smile are visually intriguing. I want to know more about the scene-- who is watching what's happening? Why does one man have a gun pointed at another man? Why are they in the woods? The eyes make it seem like someone knows something, and I am interested to learn about their importance.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Book Format (E Books). A sample of responses:

• the first sentence on A's description alreqady had me bored
• I care more about a stories description than what other people thought of it.
• B indicates that this might be a well-written book. I would like to know more about the actually story though, so in that way B is lacking. A is okay but just not attention grabbing.
• I would rather read more about a book I have some idea about than one that just has a list of awards it has won.
• I want to know what the story or catchline is, not what 4 awards are; especially if I've never even heard of any of the 4 awards.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Book Format (E Books). A sample of responses:

• I like the font and the texture used makes it seem more like a thriller.
• I always prefer the book title to be big. It is usually the title that grabs me in. I also prefer how the "AN ANDY TEAGUE THRILLER" is a bit bigger at the bottom. I enjoy reading books that have sequels to them, and that will generally catch my attention faster. I'm not usually as concerned about the author. Unless it's an author I already know and read often, I am more interested in the title, and this one shows it much better.
• The cover stands out more than A.
• I prefer the book title to be larger than the authors name. I also really like the font and colour of the title in option B, the little bit of texture makes it stand out to me. Attractive cover!
• The large REFLUX stands out when you look at the cover.

This is a 4 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Book Format (E Books). A sample of responses:

• I went with the easier titles to read
• I like the short and concise titles because they are easy to remember and give just enought information, and I thought "supernaturals" was more appealing. The word "mystery" also makes me think of a genre I like.
• Since this is part of an Action-Adventure series, option B doesn't really seem to fit as the title says "Mystery", which would not necessarily be an action adventure novel. D, Sixteen Supernaturals, seems more like there would be some action, going after 16 supernaturals. I have the same thoughts for A as I do for D, however, burdens doesn't seem as active or exciting as supernaturals. C sounds like it could be a mystery but could also be an adventure that happens while looking for Newton's Eye.
• Option B has the most intriguing title. Option A has a pretty cover and burdens sounds more attractive to me than supernaturals
• Option B is a title that gives more information about what the book is actually about to let someone know if they would be interested in it.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Book Format (E Books). A sample of responses:

• I personally like memoirs, so that phrasing would catch my attention
• Interesting - I believe both lead to a different reading - I like B as it could lead to imaginative adventures not many people have done - vs A which sound like following someone's footsteps
• Tales sounds more interesting than Memoirs. Memoirs sounds like it's interesting for that person but not for everyone.
• I like this because it let's the reader know that they have happened in the past few years compared to a memoir sounding like an autobiography.
• memoirs makes me think it is coming straight from the person who experienced it.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Book Format (E Books). A sample of responses:

• I like the human element choice B has. It helps your imagination know what the character looks like.
• I really like A. It's colorful and it really sets a mysterious mood. B is a bit too busy and has too much going on.
• B has more color that attracts attention to the book. The difference in the design of the words allows the viewer to quickly see what the title is and who the author is. The bridge is easier to see in B and the target focused on the person highlights the title of the book.
• I think the expression on the face is very intriguing and I like it a lot
• A looks more gritty and mysterious. It fits the suspense genre better than B. B looks too clean and too polished.

This is a 6 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Book Format (E Books), Political Affiliation (Independent/Other, Democrat), Age Range (45 54, 55 64, 35 44, 25 34, 18 24), and Travel Frequency (Occasionally, Frequently). A sample of responses:

• I think Option F makes the most sense for a satirical novel. I get that it's not a serious book and more for fun from just looking at the cover. I wouldn't be surprised when I started reading the book. I also like Option C because you get a sense of the 3 places it mentions because of the monuments that are significant to each of the 3 places. Option B and A were just Ok for me. They were too serious and don't convey satire as well.
• I chose F first because the novel is satirical, and so is the cover. It's funny, it makes you look at it, and you know it's not going to be a super serious book but something more enjoyable. None of the other choices offered this combination. I chose B second because it was uncluttered, to the point, easy to determine what the contents were about, and easy to see what cultures/countries the book would be about. I chose E for my third choice because I liked it better than all the ones left, at least it had good graphics and cultural representation, but nothing about it screamed satirical or tongue in cheek. I chose C as my fourth choice, but I didn't really like it. I just liked it a wee bit better than the other two that were left. boring and nothing made me want to see what was written inside.
• If the author wants to really sell this as a humorous book, F is the best cover because it looks the most comical. B is the most cheerful and might make a good cover if the intent is to see how the cultures interplay. I liked A as well because it gave the impression that the author wants to pick the best aspects of all of these cultures and combine them. Of the remaining three, I picked D because it looked the least generic.
• I really like the more irreverent and comedic covers such as F and B the most of all of them.
• I like option F the best, because it has playful characters in a perfectly satirical setting. The cartoon cover looks fun, and I could see myself reading the novel. Option B is next best for me, because the cover is clean, and it shows the different country flags. Option C is next on the list for me, since the black background has a playful contrast to the sights that you can see in the respective countries. Lastly, option A is good because it showcases all three countries in one flag. I like how the background is the sky with the flag waving in the front.
