Capture website + social visitors and visitors to your places with a sign up form. Put it anywhere: a link in your bio, a QR code on a sidewalk sign, an embed on your site, or a pop-up button. Everyone who fills it out lands on an email or text list you can reach whenever you have something worth saying.
A post from your Facebook page now reaches 2 to 5 percent of the people who already chose to follow you, down from more than 15 percent a decade ago. A text gets opened 98 percent of the time. Email returns somewhere around $36 for every dollar spent, more than any other channel. The difference is not the writing. It is that one audience is rented and the other is yours. Every person who walks your district or opens your map is somebody you can add to a list nobody can throttle, or lose to an algorithm you do not control. That is why list growth belongs on your impact report next to foot traffic and attendance.
One form, four places to put it, and a list that grows while you are doing something else.
Pick which list the form feeds. Email for newsletters and announcements, text for the things that cannot wait. The choice is permanent, so pick the one you actually want.

Banner across the top of a page, Side by Side with your copy, or Simple with just the fields. Write your own headline, description, and button text.
A link for your bio or an email footer. A QR code for sidewalk signs and rack cards. An inline embed for your site. Or a button that opens a pop-up. All four point at the same form and the same list.
Flip it on and we draft the welcome email or text for you. New signups hear from you right away instead of waiting for whenever your next send goes out.
One form for residents, another for business owners. They care about different things, and keeping the lists apart from the start saves you from texting a property owner about face painting.
A signup form is standalone. You do not need a map, a passport challenge, or an event on the calendar to start collecting contacts today.
Three steps. No code, no long onboarding.
1
Email or text. The choice is permanent, so decide which one you actually want before you build the form.
2
Headline, description, button. Choose Banner, Side by Side, or Simple. Turn on a welcome message and we draft it for you.
3
Share it as a link, print the QR code on your signage, embed it on your site, or drop in a pop-up button.
Five groups, five different reasons.
You already have an event on the calendar and a sandwich board out front. Put a QR code on it. Everybody who scans becomes somebody you can invite back next season, instead of a face you never see again.
Your member businesses are one list and the residents who shop them are another. Two forms, two lists, and nobody gets an email meant for the other group.
Registration captures the people who planned ahead. The ones who wandered in on a Saturday never enter your system at all. A QR code at the entrance closes that gap for the price of printing a sign.
Somebody asking for your map is telling you they are planning something. A form attached to it turns a single visit into a list you can bring back when the season turns.
Your audience lives on a platform that decides who sees your work. A signup form is how you take a piece of that audience with you, somewhere nobody can throttle it.

A signup form collects. Email and SMS is how you actually reach what you collected. Every contact from every form lands on one list you can text or email from the same place your map and directory already live, with no exporting between the two. If you want to see what sending looks like, start here.
Put a QR code on your signage and keep a phone or tablet at the info booth, both pointing at the same form. People scan, type an email, and they are on your list before they walk away. Asking in person while somebody already has a phone in their hand works far better than a form buried in your website footer.
Yes. When you build a form you choose whether it feeds an email list or a text list. That choice is permanent, so decide before you build. Plenty of organizations run both, with a separate form for each.
No. A Proxi signup form works as a standalone link and as a QR code, so you can collect contacts with nothing but a printed sign. If you do have a website, you can embed the form inline or add a button that opens it as a pop-up.
Yes, and you should. Residents want events, new shops, and parking. Business and property owners want deadlines, meeting notices, and vacancies. A separate form for each keeps the lists apart from the beginning, which saves you from texting a property owner about face painting.
They land on the contact list you chose, and if you turned on a welcome message they hear from you immediately. Proxi drafts that first email or text for you, so nobody sits in silence between signing up and whenever your next send happens to go out.
Signup forms are part of Proxi Premium. Premium also includes 10,000 emails and 1,000 SMS a month, so the form and the sending live on the same plan.

Whatever is next on your calendar is the best list-building opportunity you have. Build the form this week and print the QR code.
