A business has something to sell. An auctioneer has an event to promote. A family has an estate sale to announce. A reader is searching for equipment, a local service, or something to do this weekend.
Oklahoma’s Choice Weekly helps those people find each other. With our newly redesigned website coming soon, we’re creating more ways to make those connections happen.
We’ve put considerable thought, creativity, and work into this redesign. Bold visuals, clean layouts, and easier navigation will welcome readers into a site that gives our advertisers and content room to shine. It’s a fresh look with a practical purpose: helping people discover what OCW and the businesses we feature have to offer.
Giving your advertising a voice
Our new website will offer audio options for advertisements, giving businesses another way to share their message. Customers will be able to listen as well as read, bringing a voice to featured products, services, and special offers.
For advertisers, that opens up creative possibilities. A visual catches attention, written details explain the offer, and audio adds another way to communicate it. Businesses can explore how these elements work together to help potential customers understand what they offer and how to get in touch.
More opportunities for businesses
Effective advertising starts with a clear message, but where and how that message appears matters, too.
OCW brings graphic design, advertising copy, and placement together to help businesses communicate with potential customers. Depending on the advertising package, that message can extend through our digital publication, website placements, social media, blog features, and audio advertising.
Each serves a purpose. A display ad can catch someone’s attention. A business feature provides space to explain more. A social post can introduce an offer to someone who hasn’t opened the publication. An audio ad gives that offer a voice.
These options give businesses more flexibility in how they tell their stories and invite customers to respond.
Easier ways to find what you need
Our auction directory and searchable classifieds will help visitors explore upcoming sales and available listings. Dates, descriptions, locations, and contact information help an interested reader take the next step.
For auctioneers, that means another place for potential bidders to discover an upcoming auction. For classified advertisers, it gives readers a way to find what they’re selling beyond browsing the pages of a single edition.
Our digital presence also allows information to be shared beyond the communities served by our print distribution. The right buyer may live nearby or several counties away.
Visitors will also be able to add OCW to their phone’s home screen for convenient access to the website. The latest edition, auction information, classifieds, and other features will be easier to keep close at hand.
More reasons to return
The weekly digital edition will remain a central part of OCW, alongside featured businesses, recipes, community content, Hunt Oklahoma, and our other special features.
We want the website to be a useful destination throughout the week. Someone visiting for a recipe may discover a business. A reader checking an auction may find a classified listing worth a closer look. Those everyday connections are part of the value of bringing everything together.
A website alone cannot guarantee sales. Strong advertising still needs a relevant message and a business ready to follow through. Our job is to help that message get seen, heard, and understood, and make it easier for interested people to respond.
Watch for the launch of the newly redesigned Oklahoma’s Choice Weekly website. Whether you read us, advertise with us, or have something to share, we’re building this next chapter with you in mind.
