Sorry it's taken me so long to post an update. We did end up doing better the second weekend of our Spring Break event, but nothing like the fall. We were able to cover our overhad costs, including payroll. We're glad we did it though for the following reason, many that were pointed out in previous posts:
1. We were able to get the team together for a great time of scares and laughs.
2. We were able to introduce the area to the concept of a non-fall haunted attraction event.
3. We were able to give a lot of new visitors the opportunity to see the show.
4. We were able to further brand our business and maintain a buzz about Raycliff Manor.
5. We were able to contact our sponsors and let them know that we were providing them FREE additional exposure through our marketing efforts, on our website and by displaying their banners in our lobby.
I'm sure there are other reasons I could list as well! Thanks to the many of you who have posted, PM'd me and emailed me with your words of support and for all the sincere interest in offering suggestions and ideas and in how the event worked out.
