Chamber of Haunters: A Chamber of Commerce for Haunters

Chamber of Haunters

A Chamber of Commerce is a network of business owners whose goal is to further the interests of businesses and grow stronger together. It serves as a spokesman and representative of the industry.

This is where The Chamber of Haunters comes in.

Imagine a Chamber of Commerce that stands to represent you as a Haunter, a Haunted Attraction Owner, and your interests within the Haunt Industry. This is the mission that the Founder, Robert Nulton, wants The Chamber of Commerce to become. A place for a helpful community, a resource for Haunters, and a representative for the entire Haunted Attraction Industry.

Yes. There are great Haunt Associations that already exist. The biggest one around is the Haunted Attraction Association, which for a membership fee you can join an existing community of Haunters and tap into the benefits of this association.

However, The Chamber of Haunters will be a bit different. Think of your local Chamber of Commerce with local and long-distant benefits. Unique events tailored for attractions who want to be part of a growing community. Guidance for haunt businesses that need more information on starting and growing a safe haunted attraction. And ways to keep your business doors open every year.

All wrapped up in a Chamber of Commerce type of atmosphere. Supplying the help you need and representing you along the way.

Here are a few things you’ll learn in this podcast:

  • How to make your Haunted Attraction stand out and be the best that it can be.
  • The advantages of being a member of an association and community for your Haunt related needs.
  • How you can help by supporting the Chamber of Haunters by being an Adviser for your Region.
