We have a proven track record for getting advertisers the best results, whether a business draws from people who live within five miles or all over the High Plains area. No one gets the results we do. Why not put your marketing plan to work in the Prairie Times? We can help you get the most for your advertising dollars!

    
 

  
  

Why you should advertise in the Prairie Times:

 

Targeted Circulation: we mail to a target market with the best demographics in the entire region. This means our readers have excellent buying power.

Long Shelf Life: many of our readers say they keep and read the Prairie Times until the next issue arrives. Long shelf life translates into better results for advertisers.  

Extreme Popularity: people go out of their way to patronize our advertisers. Readers tell us, "I really like the wholesome stories you print. It's something I'm not afraid to let my kids read. I didn't realize there were so many businesses in this area!" With the building boom in our communities, you need to advertise to tell them where you are and what you offer. Don't let their business get away because they don't know you're around!

Very Reasonable Rates: because of the long shelf life and popularity, we can offer you great coverage in our target area at extremely reasonable rates.

Writer's Guidelines:

Do you think you have what it takes to become a writer? We would love to find out! We publish material from all ages (our youngest writers have been nine years old) on a variety of topics, but do require a few things from our writers:

We Prefer Local Writers

Out-of-country submissions will be declined. Out-of-state submissions are fine, provided we have some indication that you are familiar with our publication and are writing in our unique flavor.
  
All Manuscripts Must Include Your Name & Address
 
We get submissions all the time via e-mail with no name or return address on the manuscript. Don't do that!
 
Submissions Must Be Family-Friendly

No drinking, no vulgar content, no bad language. Our readers love our material because it's appropriate for all ages.
 
Please Read Our Official Writer's Guidelines.
