Sell tiered sponsorship packages without a single invoice. Build your sponsorship program inside Proxi, set your tiers and prices, and send businesses a link to choose their level and pay. One-time, monthly, or annual billing. Sponsors get logo placement on your maps, featured point visibility, custom branding on category icons, and links throughout your content. You get paid automatically and analytics to prove the value of every placement.

This is the most reliable non-dues revenue program a chamber, Main Street, or downtown organization can run. If you have been managing sponsorships through email and spreadsheets, this replaces all of it.

Good for: chambers of commerce, Main Streets, DMOs, event organizers, media companies, content creators with sponsor relationships.

Paid Event Listings
Charge businesses and event organizers a fee to list their event in your community calendar. Set your price, share the submission link, and collect payment before the listing goes live. High-traffic community calendars like restaurant weeks, downtown holiday guides, festival season lineups, are worth paying to be part of. This turns your calendar from a free service into a revenue stream without changing anything about how it works for your audience.

Good for: Main Streets, chambers, DMOs, media companies, local event platforms.

Paid Guide Access
Your curated local knowledge has real value. A food writer's dining guide. A travel creator's neighborhood insider map. A DMO's premium visitor itinerary. A chamber's members-only resource directory. Proxi lets you put any guide or map behind a paywall and charge for access like a one-time purchase, monthly subscription, or annual fee.

This is the content creator model that most local creators have been missing. Instead of building a Substack or a separate subscription product, your curated Proxi guide becomes the product. Readers pay once or subscribe monthly, funds land in your bank, and you keep your entire content experience in one place.

Good for: content creators, local media, travel and food writers, lifestyle brands, influencers with a local focus, chambers offering premium member resources.

Best of Voting
Charge participants an entry fee to nominate their business in your community choice awards, or sell premium voting packages to businesses that want to promote their nomination. Best of contests are already one of the most effective non-dues revenue tools for chambers and Main Streets, Proxi makes it easy to collect that revenue directly inside the platform without setting up a separate payment processor.

Good for: chambers of commerce, Main Streets, local media companies, business associations.

Paid Password Challenges
Sell access to your digital passport program. Whether it is an ale trail, a restaurant week passport, a shop local campaign, or a brewery circuit, participants pay to join and unlock the full experience. The registration fee funds your program, offsets prizes, or goes directly to your organization. Proxi handles the payment at registration so participants pay once and then check in and earn rewards just like a free passport, the only difference is your organization gets paid.

Good for: DMOs, Main Streets, chambers, tourism associations, downtown organizers, event producers.

Paid Scavenger Hunts
Charge participants to join your scavenger hunt. Corporate team building events, community fundraisers, family festivals, and downtown activations all have an audience willing to pay for a well-run experience. Set your price at registration, collect payment through Proxi, and deliver the hunt. Revenue covers your program costs and puts money back into your organization or event budget.

Good for: event organizers, nonprofits, downtown organizations, corporate event planners, community foundations.

Featured Points and Sponsored Map Locations
‍Charge businesses to be featured on your map or guide. Featured points receive 70% more clicks than standard listings, which makes this a genuinely valuable placement for local businesses trying to stand out. Sell featured placement as a standalone product or bundle it into a broader sponsorship package. Either way the business pays directly through Proxi and the placement activates automatically.

Good for: DMOs, Main Streets, chambers, media companies, content creators with a local audience, business directories.

Event Ticketing (Coming Summer 2026)
‍Sell tickets to your events directly inside Proxi. No third-party ticketing platform. No redirect to an external checkout. Attendees buy tickets, funds go straight to your bank via Stripe, and your event map and attendee list stay connected in one place. Built for downtown events, community festivals, ticketed passport challenges, scavenger hunt activations, fundraisers, and any event where you are currently sending people to an external ticketing tool to complete a purchase.

Good for: all Proxi users running ticketed events of any size.
