Let’s face it. Running an escape room business can be daunting. 

Like most escape room owners, you probably started your business because you are passionate about escape rooms and game designing. 

Also, you might have felt that there is comparatively a low barrier to entry compared to some other industries.

But, little did you know that creating the games is only one side of the equation. 

Many people start their business hoping that “IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME.”

But this cannot be further from the truth. 

Running an Escape Room business is challenging. 

You’ve got to take care of your buildout, and then you have the legal and federal obligations that you navigate your way around, getting a loan or even being taken seriously by banks is tough.

If you finally manage to open shop… then you need to not only take care of your games and the upkeep and refurbishing stuff from time to time… 

Even a tiny broken prop can render the entire game useless.

Reliable and efficient technicians/vendors who will be on standby whenever you need them – are a rare breed. 

And then there are staffing issues. On one end, customers may feel that you are overpricing the games, and on the other, you are stuck between the rising prices of real estate and your staff feeling that they are not adequately compensated. 

I am sure you can relate to the above. 

The quality of your builds plays an important role in the long-term growth of your business. However, unless you have a Hollywood level production budget, it may not be sufficient to keep attracting new players and growing your business. 

Marketing is an often overlooked aspect of the business, and there aren’t many people talking about it.

I scoured the web looking for quality Escape Room marketing resources, but when I couldn’t find any. I decided to create the SEO ORB Vault.
