We're more than just an online marketing and advertising platform
we're your connection to thriving local communities!
Our acronym, M.A.P.S. (MARKETING AND ADVERTISING PLATFORM OF SERVICES), says it all – we're here to help businesses like yours navigate the world of marketing and advertising, all while fostering meaningful connections with your neighbors and visitors.
But it doesn't stop there! Our Shop Local initiative is where the magic truly happens. Before the internet boom, when yellow pages were the go-to local guides, we were already ahead of the curve, innovating advertising maps, event calendars, and community information. And thus, Detour Maps was born.

Our History
We kicked off our journey by creating neighborhood maps – printed brochures highlighting local businesses and their unique offers. These maps smoothly evolved into the digital sphere. Our groundbreaking strategy empowers businesses to collaborate on advertising, collectively cutting costs while maximizing outreach to the local community. Our contemporary web app is designed with user-friendliness in mind, serving diverse communities. By communities, we refer to the residents within a specific region – neighbors who share interests, lifestyles, and family activities. It’s about embracing the wealth of your surroundings and making the most of what’s available right at your doorstep.
We initiate our journey by crafting solutions for organizations. Our venture begins with the creation of Door Hangers and Community Maps tailored for institutions like Development Corporations, SSA’S, Main Streets, Chambers of Commerce, and group of businesses.
Our journey began with a bold move from traditional Marketing to the thrilling world of Digital Marketing. We’re all about innovation, and in 2008, we dove headfirst into creating a QR code generator system. This clever tool opened doors for crafting innovative advertising campaigns for businesses and organizations, setting the stage for the exciting adventure that lay ahead.
We’ve introduced a fresh Voting System for events in response to a request from a local organization seeking a festival solution. Our new voting system offers a unique way to engage neighbors in events and empowers them to voice their preferences. Discover more about it here… Introducing dshop, born with the aim to make our neighbors proud of their neighborhoods.
