bazzab Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi all. well have seen few people get some cards made for handing out to farmers whilst enquring about permission. So thought why not. Looks very professional..So here what I've ordered. Front. (have cropped bottom as has address etc on it.) Reverse. Excuse poor quality.couldn't save any better image. What you all think? Wanted to stay simple and not too business like if that makes sense!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fern01 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) You would be very lucky if you could impress a farmer with a printed card. Most of them have had bad experiences with people they have given shooting permission to. Edited March 13, 2012 by fern01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very negative what happened to well at least have a try what's the worst the farmer can say NO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpowder Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Good, put your photo on it to make it even better, not when all camo clad and wearing a face mask though. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuC Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Looks good, (personal opinion, would be to remove the word 'free'. It devalues what you do). I'm looking at some fridge magnet cards for the local farmers, a bit of extra effort for the land around my village Good luck with your efforts, I'm sure you'll be sucessful.

steve_b_wales Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Try placing a few cards in farming shops etc. This is where most will see them, and you may get a phone call or two. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest1957 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Add the apostrophe with a black pen when you get them and they'll be as good as anything. Cards are more memorable than just a conversation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzab Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thank you very much gents. Was pretty pleased with em. Train of thought was seems most landowners say no the first time there asked. So decided be a good idea to leave my contact details with them as hopefully once the idea has been planted in there thoughts they will think ah ha i will get that nice chap back and offer him my 5 million acres to shoot!!!!! Well maybe 3!!! Wasn't really out to impress them more just not hand them scraps of paper with my number scrawled on, which will no doubt end up in the bin. Hopefully they might keep hold of a half smart looking card. (thank you bakerboy sir. i quiet agree. :-) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are you get knocked back but leave a card with the chap and keep your fingers crossed. Leave them anywhere you think you may get a response. If you don`t try you won`t know.

-oXo- Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Wouldn't it be usefull to have your phone number on them? Also the apostrophe is missing on "Barrys". EDIT: Oh you cropped it Edited March 13, 2012 by -oXo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Oh you cropped it Has my address and phone number on but cropped bottom off pic. Ye i noticed my grammar error. Hopefully my dashing good looks and electric personality will keep anyone from noticing it hahahaha. The principle is to go door knocking.

Exactly right mate. Cost me £35 odd for 1000 if get one extra permission from it. It'll be well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keg Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I used the same background and so far have gained two permissins with it. It looks more professional than a scrap of paper. Well done sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
