Tips for increasing your haunts exposure within the industry to make these lists...
You know what many of you might cast aside the importance of promoting your attraction within the industry as they don't pay your bills but you'd be dead WRONG!
By promoting your attraction within the industry you gain a higher awareness...you never know who watches, reads and views these posts, a hauntworld magazine, does a search on Yahoo or something and finds those links to articles about your event within this industry.
How do you think Travel Channel picks the attractions they feature... they see this site, they use this site and look around just like many other people who are doing stories, shows and more.
In fact you NEVER know when one guy who reads this forums, subscribes to the magazine or buys the videos knows someone else who asks one guy if he knows good attractions, or something and one thing leads to another and whamo...
ALso the net is like a disease...you post something in one place, or place your videos on you tube and next thing you know it ends up on another site, another blog, and BAM someone reads it and calls you.
Many people in this industry READ THESE FORUMS but never promote their events, they don't show you what they are up to, they don't submit footage for our hauntworld videos, if they upload a video to youtube never tell you or anyone...hence NO ONE KNOWS MUCH ABOUT THEM, HENCE they never get covered.
Take The Beast in Kansas City...they live in a bottle, have you ever seen them on TV or a national story??? NO YOU HAVE NOT...they do NOT SHARE info, media or anything therefore no one talks about them.
THE MORE YOU SHARE, the MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU...
Don't kick me because NO ONE IN THE INDUSTRY KNOWS ENOUGH about you that is your fault...
WRITE ARTICLES, POST VIDEOS AND UPDATES, KEEP PEOPLE INFORMED ABOUT WHAT YOU DO AND WHO YOU ARE...
Don't come out of your shell at the last minute...come out now and see the sunshine!
Trust me it works wonders!
Next time I do a video submit footage, next time you post photos let people know, the next time you upload something to youtube POST IT! How can anyone vote for you or tell a television producer they know to cover you when they don't know enough about you? You tell me! This day and age you have to get your head above sand if you want to be on television shows, national articles, and all that comes with it.
