Corrales has long been recognized as a distinctive, up-scale segment of
the Central Rio Grande market area. Corrales Comment, a
paid-circulation news medium since its first issue in 1982, is the most
effective means of reaching buyers and clients here.
Corrales is the most affluent community in New Mexico, according to
the last U.S. Census data available. Residents of Corrales have nearly
two and a half times the state income average and almost double the
average for Bernalillo County.
We provide dependable, paid-circulation market penetration into Corrales for your business at affordable advertising rates.
Corrales Comment offers the following opportunities to advertise on our pages and our website.
Display Advertising
Ad space is sold based on how wide the ad is (1 column wide, 2
columns, 3 columns or 4 columns) by how tall it is. The 1 column width
is 2 3/8ths inches; 2 columns is 4 7/8th inches wide; 3 columns is 7
3/8ths inches; and 4 columns (going all the way across the page) is 10
inches wide. Please refer to the prices for each size space on our Advertising Rates page.
If you or your graphics person has an ad already composed, it can be
sent to us in hard copy (on paper) via regular mail to P.O. Box 806,
Corrales, NM 87048. If you have a digital file of the ad, it could be
e-mailed to us at
It would be helpful if
the digital ad is modified to fit the column width of the size you
prefer before it was sent. The digital file should be sent as a PDF
with layers flattened and all fonts embedded.
Corrales Comment can compose the entire ad for you if that is more
convenient. You may call for an appointment at 897-3700 to discuss your
needs, either at our office (3817 Corrales Road) or yours. If you
have a digital file of your logo or other illustration and wish to send
that to us by e-mail, in just about any computer program, that can be
sent to
, along with a message that
includes the wording you want in the ad. We could then compose the ad
and take a proof to you personally or deliver it my e-mail or fax.
Please allow plenty of time for us to work on your ad before our
deadline. Proofs cannot always be delivered to you if the ad is turned
in on deadline day.
Display advertisers are billed at the end of each month for the
space used in the two issues of Corrales Comment published that month.
No pre-payments or long-term contracts are required.
Unclassified Ads
These “want ad” type entries are published primarily as a community
service. We charge $3 for 25 words and then 25 cents a word for each
word over 25 words. Payment must accompany the unclassified ad when it
comes in. Sorry, we cannot bill for unclassifieds since we do not keep
records on which are paid for and which are not, except for
long-running unclassified ads.
If you wish the unclassified ads to run more than one issue, please
multiply the cost for running it once by the number of times you wish
it to run.
Please Note: If you send an unclassified ad via email, you must include your check number and the date it was mailed.
Corrales Services
