Newsagent help sought on comic sales

I’ve received a request for help. While we don;t easily have the depth of data sought, newsagents might have useful information to help with the research being undertaken on comic sales.

Hi Mark,

I am contacting you on behalf of a student at Caulfield Grammar who is investigating the impact the introduction of the iPad has had on the purchasing of comics.

We stumbled on your blog whilst researching and thought it would be a place where our questions could be posted.

Below is the letter and questions we are interested in seeking information around.

” Dear recipient,
Hello, I am doing a math project for school. It’s about how many comics are sold now that the iPad has come out; compared to before it came out. Here are some questions I’d like to ask:

What was the average amount of comics sold in April in 2009?
What was the average amount of comics sold in April in 2010?
What was the average amount of comics sold in April in 2011?
What is the average amount of comics sold per month this year?
What was the average amount of comics sold this April?

How do you feel about those changes?
Is it affecting your company majorly?
What type/brand of comics are most common now?
Has anything changed since The Avengers movie came out? (May 4th 2012)”
