Downtowns & Main Streets

Help Visitors Explore More of Your Downtown

Downtowns and Main Streets thrive when people slow down, look around, and explore beyond the first few blocks.

The challenge is guiding visitors in a way that feels natural, welcoming, and easy… without adding staff, signage clutter, or constant promotion.

Enhanced Visitor Experience helps downtowns and Main Streets encourage exploration, highlight local businesses, and create more engaging visitor experiences before and during a visit.

The Challenge Downtowns Face

Visitors Often Stick to the Obvious Path

Many visitors:

  • Park, walk a block or two, and leave

  • Miss side streets, shops, and experiences

  • Spend less time downtown than expected

  • Don’t realize how much there is to explore

Downtown leaders know the value is there. The challenge is helping visitors discover it.

A Better Way to Encourage Exploration

Discovery That Feels Like an Invitation

Enhanced Visitor Experience uses location-aware storytelling and light engagement to guide visitors through downtowns at their own pace.

Instead of directing people where to go, it invites them to explore; highlighting shops, landmarks, public art, history, dining, and experiences as they move through the area.

The experience feels helpful, not promotional.

What Our Users Are Saying

★★★★★

Enhanced Visitor Experience has been a life saver for our organization!

“EVE has increased the knowledge of our museums to our visitors, and I don’t have to rely so much on volunteer staffing. The biggest benefit of the app has been more exposure for our visitors to learn about our 14 museums through a self-guided tour and participants enjoy using the application. As president I feel better that our visitors are getting a much better experience for the price of admission.”
