    In addition to this we're running a Myspace promo in which we've sent an invite to our 5,400+ Myspace Friends and provided them with a code they can use to receive a discount if they purchase tickets online between now and Valentine's Day.

    We're also developng "Death Certificates" and we're going to run a promo announcing the first "?" number of people to purchase their tickets online will receive a Raycliff Manor Death Certificate with their name printed on the certificate and it will be signed by Dr. Raycliff!

    We're having a lot of fun with promotions for this event! Oh yeah, we have two radio stations confirmed and possibly two more that will be promoting our event and giving tickets away on the air.

    I think I'm forgetting one or two other promos we're working on, but I just thought I'd take a moment to share in case anyone could use these ideas now or in the future. ; )

    We've got about 5 weeks left to be ready for "Ghouls Gone Wild!"

            "Grass Roots"

            It seems like everytime I try grass roots advertising ..all I seem to get here are more bugs and worms!?
            Or a simple guy who wants to mow my lawn?

              Those are some great ideas. Actually, they go beyond great. I'll definitely have to remember some of those for if I ever get started (which I should.....but you never know).

                The Friday the 13th Movie tie-in event was actually the brain child of the teenage son of a couple who are Actors at Raycliff Manor. Actually, I don't think he's a teenager yet, I think he's 11 or 12 years old!

                The Military Appreciation Night was inspired by a soldier in Iraq who messages me through Myspace.

                Sometimes the real genuis is just in listening to the real genuises! :-D

                  Wow, all those ideas are awesome! Great job.

                  We have our first "official" marketing meeting this weekend. Unfortunately, we don't have access to our haunted house until late summer. It's located in the back of a local waterpark and we rent out the space September - November. This makes it impossible to have offseason events at our haunt, so we definitely have to be creative with our spring and summer promotions.

                  Quick question for ya: How did you get so many myspace friends? We're at 580 and counting... but it basically involves me clicking around and adding 20 friends or so a day... or until my hand gets tired. I also have a "Thanks for the Add" image we use for all new friends. Any other tricks?

                        Jason, Ghouls Gone Wild is a spring event that is taking place while the colleges and high schools are all taking their spring breaks.

                            Jason, I'm not sure I understand your question. The Raycliff Manor Haunted Attraction is going to be open for this event as a haunted attraction. The guests will be going through the attraction with a full cast of Actors performing inside, just like our fall event. I hope this answers your question.
