HauntWorld Magazine 2008

HauntWorld.com is OFFICIALLY the #1 haunted house website in the World! This past October, HauntWorld had over 2 million visitors to the front page and sent over 1,000,000 visitors directly to haunted house websites. Haunted House owners have come to trust and rely on HauntWorld to help their business. HauntWorld now boasts more than 3,000 accounts in our haunted house directory, over 3,000 members on our message boards and over 2,000 subscribers to our magazine. Since the last issue of HauntWorld Magazine (Magazine #16, Spookywoods front cover), we have added over 400 new subscribers. That’s a 40% increase in subscribers in less than a year! And, HauntWorld continues to grow.

Do you want to reach over 2,500 haunted attraction owners and operators? Haunted Houses buy lighting, sound, animations, props, special effect equipment, fog, costumes, retail, food, insurance, security equipment, marketing, entire attractions, and so much more. When you buy an ad in the new HauntWorld Magazine you will gain so much more than ever before.

HauntWorld.com is now proud to introduce the all new Haunted Attraction Vendor ‘Yellow Pages’ section which will make its debut in February 2008. HauntWorld’s all new industry ‘Yellow Pages’ section will help buyers from all over the WORLD find your company and learn about what you sell. The new system will allow vendors to create accounts in multiple sections such as animations, costumes, or sound equipment. Once you’ve created your account you can upload your logo & photos of product, add YouTube videos of your product(s) in action and input details about your business. The system performs exactly like our World Class haunt directory in terms of functionality. Additionally, the system creates dynamic title tags and URL tags that will send HauntWorld skyrocketing to the top of all search engine keywords.

If you’re an advertiser in HauntWorld Magazine you’re entitled to a FREE upgraded account. All non-magazine-advertisers will be listed second (second page) and do not have the options of some of the back-end features. Once the new system is uploaded to HauntWorld your business will be given access to featured vendor. HauntWorld.com will deliver the most powerful marketing tool for your business in 2008.

HauntWorld web traffic is second to NONE in the haunt industry. In 2007, HauntWorld.com attracted over 5 million unique visitors. HauntWorld provides the best information for the haunt industry. And now, with our new industry Yellow Pages, we’ll be creating the single best online resource available. In addition to the all-new Yellow Pages, we’re uploading a new HauntWorld front page, which will allow us to add Banner Ads for ALL HauntWorld Magazine Advertisers to the front page. The Yellow Pages system will allow for banner rotating of these ads. There has NEVER been a better time to market your service and products through HauntWorld Magazine!

The new ‘Yellow Pages’ system will allow vendors to create accounts in multiple sections such as animations, costumes, or sound equipment. See below:

All non-print advertisers will be listed second (and in most cases this will mean second page billing) to all HauntWorld Magazine advertisers. See below:
