Of all the valuable advice that's given by experienced haunters on this site and others, I think the most important deal with treating your attraction as a business.
It seems many haunts fall into the same trap as independant bands. Plenty of enthusiasm, hard work, and endless talent do not add up to success without a "global" view of your endeavour ultimately as a buisness.
To that end I would like to recommend a book that can be helpful at any level.
THE DISNEY WAY, Harnessing the Management Secrets of Disney in Your Company - Bill Capodagli and Lynn Jackson
Available at any bookstore, this is a great book designed to help you create your corporate "culture" and harness the creative energy of your people, from staff all the way through to volunteers.
Although the book is designed for any type of company, I find it applies very specifically to us. What are we if not a smaller scale, slightly twisted take on Walt Disney World?
This book has become required reading for all on our creative team.
If you're serious about taking your attraction to the next level, you should get this book.
