Jeremy and I spent a couple of days last week with Jennifer Mullins, Director of Travel Promotion for the Department of Tourism, during the Lt. Governor's Turkey Hunt, and she was a well of information that will benefit our Main Streets. Approximately five million people visit TravelOK.com annually to plan trips, find restaurants, events, and shopping destinations. Discover Oklahoma uses TravelOK to find businesses, events, etc. to highlight on the show, and the information in the travel guide is pulled from TravelOK as well. Below is a link you can send to your local businesses to sign up for free, and please list your events. Example - the three of us were in Pawnee, OK in the store Where the Buffalo Roam. The owner let us know how much more business she had since being featured on Discover Oklahoma. While we were chatting, a couple walked in - they were on a day trip - and they chose to visit Pawnee because the store was featured on the show. This is free advertising, so please take advantage of it. I've asked Jennifer to come to the August training to talk more about free services available through the Tourism department. Besides the link below, attached are some industry tips and contacts. https://www.travelok.com/tourism-industry/forms.

The Trademark Sublicense Agreements are going out from Steve Amraen (National Main Street Center), and please sign them no later than May 17th. Once signed, the agreements come to me for our signature, and then I turn them into the NMSC. The agreements grant rights to local communities to use the terms Main Street America(tm) and Main Street(r) as well as to use the logos. The files are too large to email, so I will create a Google Drive folder (did this last year) with all the branding materials including the guide. The invite/link will be sent as soon as I receive the signed agreement from you. The Main Street branding is free to all local programs, and is paid for by the Oklahoma Main Street Center. Please contact me if you have any questions. Have a good day, Buffy Buffy Hughes State Main Street Director Oklahoma Department of Commerce 900 N.
