If you have a difficult time getting customers through your Haunted Attraction, you're not alone. All of us struggle with it. Slowly trying to up the attendance, trying to retain your current customers, & finding your exact type of customer.

In this audio podcast you will learn some of techniques that I have personally experimented with and have researched from other haunt owners that work for them. 

A few things you'll learn in this podcast: 

  • Low cost effective marketing ideas
  • Time saving social media tricks
  • Start up checklist you should be doing
  • Rules for legal contests on social media
  • Local advertising techniques to try
  • Where you should spend your money
  • and MUCH MORE! 

In this informative session, I will present some of the marketing and advertising methods we have used in the past that have gotten customers through our doors and continue to get attendee engagement. Most of my methods are budget friendly and can be scaled to meet your budget funds. Just plug and play.
