Promotion
Our downtowns suffer due to poor building maintenance, businesses that closed or moved, unfavorable public amenities and poor parking management. The perception is downtown no longer has anything to offer. Oklahoma Main Street communities learn how to identify downtown as the center of commerce, social gatherings and public and private services.
Local businesses know the dollar value of events that attract large crowds. Well-planned promotions meet specific goals. This process improves marketing practices and creates a positive image for the business district. OMSP services include promotion committee training, marketing resources, promotion workshops and idea sharing networks. 
Main Street towns promote retail sales and other special events to reacquaint people with the benefits and attractions their downtowns offer.
