Literary preference audience targeting

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Fiction). A sample of responses:

• The cover showing several friends in a car on their way to adventure better conveys the sense of friendship described in the novel's summary.
• Option B shows how there is a real struggle and being able to juggle so many things in life.
• Sees more adventerous and more of a tale than a travel book
• This one is more colorful and has a more intriguing mix of imagery, which makes the book's subject and story more compelling.
• In contrast to B, this picture looks more genuine and put together. Honestly, it looks much better because B looks like the actors were too forced and the background looks out of place.

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:

• B was my preference because it also noted there was an audio download which would be attractive if you are learning a new language
• I prefer A; I like that the title is all in one color and is easy to understand. C is next, B is last.
• "A" is first because of the free download. "B" is last because i don't see the word 'beginners' on the cover. if it's there, the letters are too small.
• option A I would choose it first because it says free audio download on it.
• The wording was the most clear on option c. I didn't like the graphics of b as much

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:

• This one is more cartoonish and seems more geared toward children and fun so I would chose this one.
• I picked option A because I Like how it shows actual children on the cover.
• I would pick option B because there shouldn't be a limit of 101 life skills. I think this book is so important for kids.
• I prefer this cover because it looks kid friendly and fun.
• I think if the aim of the book is children the image in choice A does the best job of conveying that with the children on the cover.

This is a 4 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:

• All of these are fine. I like B the best as I feel that the language is the most appropriate and the most descriptive. C is also good. A nd D are OK. But all would be fine and are interesting.
• All of them are a bit long and none are catchy. Especially for the demographic. That said, C was the worst. Too long and cluttered. I don't know that they need subtitles either, and from that I ranked them based on the main titles.
• I like option A. It sounds very inspiring.
• I think the first two titles would help inspire the children more
• B. It's inspiring & encouraging. D. Let's them know that their mind is powerful. C. Very Motivational. A. Doesn't sound to confident.

This is a 4 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:

• I love this style of cover. I like the white with the blue and red in different objects as it reminds me of the color of the Korean flag.
• I prefer the overall design of A which is attractive and easy to read and understand. Next preference was B with the stylized lion and bird design.
• After carefully studying and comparing all four images of book covers for a Korean Short Stories for Beginners Book, I selected Option B as my first preference and the one that I would definitely click on to purchase for myself. I felt that that this image just jumped right out at me as having the most eye catching appeal based on the attractive design and bright colors. Option D was my second choice followed by Option C and finally Option A with all four rankings based on my own personal opinion of the relative attractiveness of each book cover image.
• I think C is the most visually interesting, while A and D appear somewhat plain by comparison. B looks like it might be a bit too focused on classics and thus be boring.
• A. Bright and easy to read. C. Text stands out well over background. D. Text too cluttered. B. Looks too boring.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:

• it is more colorful and the picture shows a better happy face.
• less text on the cover, gets the point across pretty well of what's in the book, not that people tend to read that kinda stuff but hey.
• A is clearer and has better contrast between the elements, making them stand out better.
• I thought B seemed a little bit more new and different than A
• Reach for the stars sounds cuter for a small child because it makes me imagine a young child jumping and trying to reach the sky. Also I don’t like the photo in option B because the boy looks crazy.

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:

• A has an attractive design and easily gets the attention of a consumer. The cover basically speaks for itself.
• I chose option A as my first choice since the word “complete” and the words “fluent French” were larger and it caught my attention right away. The graphic in the corners also was attractive.
• I prefer option C. The size of the font made it really easy to read, especially if I'm scanning shelves or online stores.
• C is the only one that looks like it would actually be a quality book. B and A don't have that same look to their covers, I feel like I can trust C.
• It’s bold, easy to read and straightforward

This is a 1 option poll with 15 respondents targeting Favorite book genres (Science Fiction), Gender identity (Male), Age range (45 54), and Literary preference (Fiction). A sample of responses:

• I think that I would try this book if it was available to me and I saw it on, say, a library shelf.I would warn that the, "This book is like X" recommendations are all over the place. I doubt that it actually is similar to Hitchhikers Guide AND The Martian. Those are two very different genres.
• While the topic of this story has been done before and is not unique, it's still a good trope. And when done well can be an exciting yet relaxing read.
• Seems like a original story made up of relatable tropes with an interesting twist. I think the dynamic of the main characters and their setup is good. I would definitely give it a shot.
• Blanchland Blues sounds interesting and unique; I am a fan of sci-fi stories with a unique twist or setting. The plot sounds nuanced enough that it should keep me interested throughout the whole reading process.
• I like the 4th descriptor. For me it sounds the most adventurous and the most fun to want to read and learn more about the story and what happens.

This is a 4 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Recently purchased categories (Books), Literary preference (Non Fiction), and Reading frequency (4+ Books/Month, 1 3 Books/Month). A sample of responses:

• D is the most straightforward title here, and the one least likely to have been written by ChatGPT. C is fairly inoffensive, though 'mastering' and 'expert' are a bit optimistic given the current state of the art. I never like the word 'guru' in a title - it' s overused and tired, and 'whisperer' just makes me turn away.
• I like D; it is to the point describing what the book is about. The other titles are ok except A.
• D. clear and succinct. B. Descriptive. A. Don't care for it. Sounds like jive double talk to me. C. Is the worst of all.
• I like the sound of option B. It is nice and simple.
• B's title is the one that resonates the most with me. As a retired programmer, the term "guru" has been part of my vocabulary for many decades, as it relates to UNIX/Linux gurus. If I were interested in learning about ChatGPT, B's title would definitely grab me. I've ranked the others based on how much their titles speak to me, in descending order.

This is a 4 option poll with 30 respondents targeting Age range (25 34, 18 24), Literary preference (Non Fiction), Amazon Prime member (Yes), and Reading frequency (1 3 Books/Month). A sample of responses:

• I like how it almost looks like it could be a thriller or horror or something, jumped right out at me as not a self help book and I got curious
• I chose option B first because it jumped out at me those most, seems the most professionally designed, and seems the most authentic. I ranked option A second because it is an attractive enough, simple and cute design. Options C and D didn't appeal to me at all, and seem almost a little scammy looking, so I ranked them last.
• I like the piggy and the green cover; other than that I rated based on how attractive the colors were
• I think the black and gold color scheme hits harder for the older crowd when it comes to financial books. A lot of these people in the target market are trying to get through school or get ahead in life so the piggy with the cap might resonate with some viewers while climbing the money stairs may hit for some too. I just think they're more likely to be in school so (A) is the winner. Now they're still young so there's a good chance Ben Frank with those glasses on might still catch them and attract them as well because it was initially the first cover that drew me in. I know it from older memes. (D) is generic so the target market would have to already either be interested in the topic or the book itself.
• I like the color combinations and simplicity of option D. The black background and gold text is very alluring to me.
