Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I run different ad content with a repeating-size ad?
A: Yes! As long as your ad stays the same size, you’re welcome to change up the content. This is a great way to keep your messaging fresh throughout your campaign.
Q: Can I plan out a full advertising campaign with you?
A: Absolutely. We often meet with local businesses to map out a full year of advertising in one simple planning session. From there, we can spread the cost across 12 monthly payments—easy, efficient, and budget-friendly.
Q: Is The Brownsville Times owned by a larger media corporation?
A: No, we’re proudly independent and not-for-profit. Our focus is entirely local—no generic “filler” content here. Every story and every ad reflects and supports our community. When you advertise with us, you’re not just gaining exposure with a highly engaged audience—you’re investing directly in the Brownsville area’s local economy.
