Discount for charity haunts?

Hey Ben et al...

I gotta ask! We're a charity haunt and have been in the charity haunt business for a long time. We give 100% - every penny - of profit to our charities. No one makes a cent off it. So, as you can guess, our budget it really tight. We'd like to join HHA but for us the membership price is steep. Any chance of offering a discount membership price for qualified charity haunts?

"Qualified", in my mind, would be to submit legal proof of 501c3 status, equivalent LLC status, promotional material that claims the 100% charity, etc. I'm not asking this for those haunts that are for-profit, and run a charity collection program or similar (but I think that's great they do it, too!)

Thanx,
- Steve

Membership Cards are in

The membership cards arrived yesterday and they look even nicer in person.

Don't miss the boat haunt owners and operators...join HHA today!

Remember ...between the HHA marketing benefits and the vendor discounts alone the cost of membership easily pays for itself.

The National Directory is an exclusive directory on the HHA website, which will be heavily promoted via the national PR campaign.

To put it another way - all national PR efforts drive media and traffic specifically to website and directory, and that directory ONLY features Attraction members.

Attraction Members also can receive up to 4 membership cards - which will enable multiple individuals from within your attraction to gain vendor discounts.

And finally, Attraction Members who meet the proper eligibility requirements (http://www.hauntedhouseassociation.org/join.htm ) can choose to be designated as a "Senior Attraction Member" for no additional charge ... and it is the Senior Attraction Members who may serve on the board, vote on election and bylaw issues, and have the opportunity to fill slots as "Featured Haunts" in the National Public Relations Campaign (as they become available)

Hey Ben, and I think this would be a question for Larry as well, I'm assuming the primarily benefit of the Attraction Membership vs. the Associate Membership is the inclusion in the "National Directory". If we become HHA members would we automatically be included in the Haunted House Online site, or is the National Directory referring to "America's Best Haunts"? Larry, Please tell Erin I'm sorry I haven't had time to get back to her on the messages she has left for me. I've been knee deep in alligators getting things ready for our spring break event!Thanks for your help!

Those look sweet Eric....thanks for all your hard work putting them together for the HHA.

I look forward to getting mine!

We just sent these membership cards off to the plastic card company for production. With your membership, these slick looking cards will be extremely valuable to save tons of money at many participating vendors at Transworld. Just follow the signs to all the vendors giving HHA members discounts and present your card.

I would make a bee line to the HHA booth to get your card as soon as the doors open so you can start saving money. The membership will pay for itself in no time.

The HHA would like to thank Brainstorm Studios for the awesome artwork and logos used to design these cards. They are giving 10% off to members so check them out!

See you all there,

Eric

Thank you for the kind words. Let me tell you I have trouble keeping up with this board, they guys are on fire! I hope we can earn everyones respect.

Thanks!

Damon to answer your questions -

1) Cost - The association is focused on goals that have some cost, thus the increase. We hope that the exposure on the website alone is worth the cost of an attraction membership.

2) Vendor lists are forthcoming - They are looking pretty sweet! And as you can see from the earlier post, your 2008 membership is still good through Transworld.

3) Leonard is happy to let us make his magazine available to our membership. This will be different from a regular subscription, let me explain:

Anytime (after this Transworld) that Hauntworld or Haunted Attraction publish a magazine we will have that issue sent to our current membership. This will be in addition to any other subscriptions you may have individually with those magazines. So if you have a current subscription you would get TWO copies.

This actually works well with our focus on attractions, you could keep a copy for your personal collection and share the other with your crew!

Hope that explains it!

Thanks!

Sarah to answer your question -

The 2008 Membership will be honored at the show for discounts, it says on it March 2008 - March 2009.

Post show discounts and other benefits will require a 2009 Membership.

Thanks!
