Likes, retweets, emojis and hashtags. This is lingo that we often don't want to have anywhere near our Haunts. Or am I alone?
I have been OBSESSED about Halloween and actually becoming a local Haunt owner myself since I was just a tike. However, coming from the younger generation (still in my 20s), I have found that there is an ever growing gap between two deeply-embedded elements of my life. My love for staying connected with people online (I am a millennial after all), and my die-hard dedication to Halloween and Haunted House attraction industry. Why is that?
Why do our social media platforms fail? There's no way in hell that it's the fact that what we do isn't interesting. Look at Oreo's Facebook page -- I mean, it's a freaking cookie and it is still getting more buzz that your typical Haunted House. So I want to pose two questions:
1) "Haunters, why do you think that we are missing the mark in social media?" *An acceptable answer would be that we just don't care.
2) "If you could learn how to market your haunt on social media, would you take the time to do so?"
