Me too, first year, will be offering design, installation, and storage. Sending my self down to train in Holiday Lighting next week with my Window Cleaning mentor who got me into this industry so that my sales conversations are confident and assuring, and as long as I get some business in Nov Iāll be excited to grow in ā21.
Iām doing them for the second year. Iām not that experienced, but would be happy to share anything I know if you guys have questions. Iāve gotten a lot of leads through HomeAdvisor.
First two estimates done today. $4 a ft, leasing our lights only. 16 Holiday Lighting yard signs placed also.
know someone who got 52 lighting leads just today.
Nov 1-5th is our biggest wave of people and itās always damn good money. We did 87 displays in October

Do you guys price higher the first year then lower each subsequent year, or something else?
Leasing is the way to go for many reason. Under this model it is common to provide discounts for October installation or just repeating each year
For many reasons I still sell the lights and get the same labor year after year
mid novemberā¦ we are booked on lights until decemberā¦ mainly because we lost crew members and are limited on how much we can book right now. Its been a good start so far.

You know, I saw a video just last night with two guys (Why Pricing is VERY Important! How you get To $100,000 - YouTube) saying the same thing, 4 dollars a foot-- something about 1600 on a job to hang lights. I think it was āliveā last night on youtube, I never thought about this kind of add-on before but boy does it make sense.
Iāve never hung lights before, is this something you guys do up north since it slows down due to weather? Or is this being added after you are done with the other services?? Leasing lights, I never thought of that-- I have to say this is some great information!
Good luck to you, I hope your book fills up with this add-on service. Really good concept. SOMEONE has to hang them, right?? Why not you, you already have the ladders for your other businesses? Awesome.

Itās definitely this seasonās focus over windows, for me. Actually, the add on is gutter cleaning while Iām there for holiday lighting. Excited to grow in lighting, as itās harder to sell something Iām inexperienced in, like when customers need my vision for decorating their property! ā¦āwell we can put a wreath here, and lit garland thereā¦ā Thankfully, Iāve got a mentor in the field to glean ideas from that hasnāt minded my incessant questions.
