A general forum for the discussion of hunting with beagles, guns, clothing and other equipment and just talking dawgs! (Tall tales on hunting allowed, but remember, first liar doesn't stand a chance)
Who has yet to receive their February issue of TAB? I have a formal complaint in to the USPS and I'm seeing trends this month - TN, MI, NY, FL, TX, MS - especially Tennessee and Texas, which tells me this is happening at the individual state level. I need to know what states are experiencing the worst service so I may include that info in my complaint. I'm not leaving them the option to give me a "canned" response.
Thanks for all the patience you've extended to me and The American Beagler this month!
I live in Maryland, second straight month no Mag. I used to get it the first couple of days of the month. If our club decides to advertise a hunt in the Mag. @ 150.00 and its not out for the full month do you get the money back or discount??
Harry, you haven't received a magazine at all for 2 months? You should notify me if you don't receive one at all. E-mail me with your info and I'll check to make sure your subscription hasn't run out or that your address is correct, etc. and I will send a replacement for issues you didn't get.
As far as advertising a trial, what do you mean by "being out for a full month"? I have no way of knowing when the magazines will hit the different areas. I mail them all before the first of the month, so to me they are always "out" the full month.
As far as a discount goes: The Rabbit Hunter
Full Page = $200
Half Page = $125
Qtr. Page = $75
The American Beagler (club rates)
Full Page = $100
Half page = $50
Qtr. Page = $30
gen advertertisers
Full Page = $150
Half Page = $75
Qtr. Page = $45
I'd say my rates are already discounted and the other magazines don't have any better luck overall with the delivery issues than I do depending on where their subscribers are.
Our club members want to start advertising our hunts in American Beagler, but concern was expressed at our last meeting about when most guys got there issue, I'll try to explain a little better, We want to pay the 150.00 for the full page club add, no question the best rate going, but most guys said we don't get the mag. until the 15-20th of the month. If our trial is say the first weekend of the following month they feel were only getting 2-3 weeks of advertising. Our next trial is MAy 18th. I will send in the rate of 150.00 for the full page add by March 1st. so it will be in the April issue. I did get my last month issue after I spoke with you about my address but still not this months issue...
I'd definitely say they are hung up in Tennessee at the state HQ. If someone knows which city in TN is the main HQ, I'll call them tomorrow and see if I can find anything out.
