The holiday season is one of the most exciting times of the year for community organizers, chambers, and local businesses. At Proxi, we hosted a webinar to showcase how you can make the most of Q4 by creating engaging, shareable, and festive maps. Whether you’re planning Halloween trick-or-treat routes, holiday light tours, small business shopping guides, or even a “Best Decorated House” contest, Proxi gives you the tools to activate your community in under an hour.

Key Takeaways from the Webinar

1. Create Festive Maps with Seasonal Templates

Proxi offers ready-to-use templates for trick-or-treat routes, fall guides, holiday lights, and winter festivals. These templates come pre-loaded with categories, icons, and styles that you can customize with your own branding and sponsors.

2. Harness the Power of Crowdsourcing

One of Proxi’s most popular features is crowdsourced mapping. Invite your community to add their own points, whether it’s a decorated home, a favorite pumpkin patch, or a local boutique, directly to your map. With customizable forms, you control the fields, categories, and approval process.

3. Engage Your Community with Best-Of Voting

Turn your maps into community contests with Proxi’s Best-Of Voting feature. Organize competitions like “Best Decorated House,” “Most Festive Business,” or “Top Holiday Drink.” Add optional donation prompts to raise funds while driving participation and excitement.

4. Build Local Shopping & Holiday Guides

Beyond contests, Proxi maps double as powerful holiday shopping and event guides. Add points manually, upload from spreadsheets, or use the search-and-add feature to highlight shops, events, and experiences. Share links, embed maps on your site, or print QR codes for in-person distribution.

5. Measure Impact with Analytics

Proxi’s insights dashboard tracks views, clicks, shares, and engagement. You’ll be able to tell the story of your map’s success and demonstrate value to stakeholders, sponsors, or your community board.

Why It Matters

From haunted house trails to Small Business Saturday shopping maps, Proxi makes it simple to launch community activations that people love. With festive icons, custom branding, and powerful engagement tools, your maps become the centerpiece of holiday connection.
