From Screen to Street

Your community does not experience your map on a screen. They experience it as the printed guide on the cafe table, the sidewalk sign that pulls them in, and the passport that gets them exploring. Proxi designs those materials for you, keeps them connected to what you are running, and hands them over ready to print.

The Design Work Is Why It Never Gets Made

Most teams do not skip the sidewalk sign because they doubt it works. They skip it because someone has to design it, someone has to build the map, someone has to place the icons by hand, and that someone is already running three events this month.

So the sign does not go out. The window decals never get ordered. The Best Of winners get a social post instead of something they can hang in the window for a year. Proxi does that part. Your materials come out already designed, already branded to your organization, and already tied to whatever you are running. You download, you print, you put it on the street.

What You Can Produce With Proxi

Six things you can put out this week, all pulling from the same map you already maintain.

Printed maps

Poster and handout layouts, folded guide templates, large-format export, QR code built in.

Sidewalk signs

A-frame panel layouts, kiosk sizes, print-resolution QR exports, sponsor logo placement.

Window decals

Per-business QR decals and counter cards that keep working when hours and offers change.

Best Of badges

Winner badges in window, counter, and social sizes, so contest results stay visible all year.

Check-in signage

Stop markers, table tents, and entry posters with a short code and plain URL as backup.

Printable passports

A paper stamp card for anyone who does not want to play on a phone, printed from the same challenge.

One Map, Print and Digital

Design it once in Proxi, then hand visitors a beautiful printed version for your welcome center, hotels, and events.

They grab the paper map, scan to open the live interactive version, and never miss a stop. When something changes, you update it in one place and the paper keeps working.

Turn Foot Traffic Into Exploration

Put your map where people already are. A-frame signs, window clings, and kiosk displays with a QR code send visitors straight to your interactive map, updated in real time.

No app to download, no reprinting when a business moves. If a phone will not scan, the sign carries a short code and a plain URL so nobody gets stuck on the sidewalk.

Get People Moving Between Businesses

Passport programs and scavenger hunts turn a single visit into an adventure. Visitors check in, collect stamps, and earn rewards, while you capture the foot-traffic data that proves the impact to your board and your businesses.

Chambers use the zip code data to show town government that visitors traveled fifty miles or more. Every stop gets printed check-in signage, so the program works on the street and not just in the app.

Give Them Something for the Window

Every business on your map gets its own page and its own permanent QR code, so a decal you print once keeps working even when their hours change.

Best Of winners get a badge they can display all year. This is usually the thing that unlocks participation from the businesses who are not sure about any of it yet. They want something they can hold.

Real Communities, Real Sidewalks

In downtown North Bend, Washington, a single A-frame on North Bend Way carries the Guide to North Bend. One QR code, a typed URL for anyone who prefers it, a Spanish scan prompt, and partner logos along the bottom.

The sign has not changed. The map behind it has been updated dozens of times.
