# Share Your Local News with Oklahoma City Metro

Have an upcoming grand opening, major milestone, new product line, or community initiative? **405 Local Pulse** gives local business owners and organization leaders a direct platform to share updates with residents across the OKC metro area. ---

### What Can You Announce?

  1. * **Business Milestones & Openings**
  2. *Grand openings, new location launches, anniversary celebrations, and ribbon cuttings.*
  3. * **Special Events & Sales**
  4. *Promotions, seasonal workshops, fundraising events, and community drives.*
  5. * **Company Updates & Hires**

What to Send

We’re looking for updates from locally owned businesses and nonprofits across OKC Metro. Bigger updates may be considered for full stories, including openings, reopening's, major anniversaries, expansions, moves, new ownership, major awards, community impact stories, or a new direction for your business. Smaller updates matter, too. New products, special collaborations, seasonal launches, pop-ups, classes, creative projects, local partnerships, and other timely notes may be considered for our What Local Businesses Are Up To roundup series.

What Not to Send Here

Please do not use this form for routine sales, standard weekly specials, repeated promotions, or every small change in your business. New products or services are a better fit when they are timely, locally interesting, seasonal, collaborative, unusual, or part of a bigger story.

Have an Event?

Please do not use this form to submit events or fundraisers. Events need to be entered directly on the website so they can go into pending review. You’ll receive an email once your event is published, or a note if it is not approved. Submit Your Event Here Occasionally, an event submission may also lead to a story, roundup, or social post if there is a strong local angle.

How We Choose What to Share

We look for updates with a clear local angle, useful details, and a reason people in OKC Metro might care. Some submissions may become full stories, some may be included in a roundup, and some may not be used. We can’t publish everything we receive, but complete submissions are much easier for us to consider. Include the who, what, when, where, why it matters, a website or social link, and a photo if available. Before you submit: Please include one working link and one clear photo you have permission to share. Horizontal photos usually work best. Quick note: If the form asks for a website, please include the full link, including https:// or http://. For example, use https://www.405localpulse.com, not just 405localpulse.com.
