For the 2012 season what are your thoughts?
1. Since we only have 4 weekends in October I am typically open only Friday and Saturday nights. I am considering opening either Thursday or Sunday. Any thoughts? I don't want to go into September since we are moving locations and November because we take our crew to another attraction as a thank you for being part of our family. Saw anther thread that mentioned Mondays.
2. What did you hear at the exit polls as your best form of advertising and where you might change your budgeting for advertising next year?
I purchased phrases from a company at 78.00 per phrase per month instead of click throughs. It paid off big time. We were up 1/3 over last year. Very pleased and most of them came from the internet. I also had good luck with referral sites such as Hauntworld, etc.
We didn't seem to fair as well with food this year. Mainly hot chocolate and hot dogs but the food was way down.
3. How about those sales?
4. And what about if you sold merchandise?
