Christmas Light Installation: Positive Income for the Holiday Months

Contractors! Here is an idea that makes perfect sense!

I have never thought of this until it was brought to my attention. Many of our customers do most of their work primarily in the warmer months of the year. This meaning that as the year nears end, they are slowing down watching sales and profits decline. While the same overhead remains for equipment, labor, insurance, and other payments that must be paid, the cash flow without question slows to a minimum. If these contractors could just some how use the utilities and tools they have in their possesion and generate cash flow, why wouldn't they?

Christmas light installation s that answer. Here's why I say that. If for example a roofing contractor has ladders, trucks, and labor, then they have everything they need to get into professional Christmas Light Installation. Aside from purchasing a glue gun and other small neccesseties, the main tools are there. The labor is used to working, the ladders are used to going up next to houses, and the trucks are used to being driven to a job site!

There is a market for professional Holiday Light Installation. With the average family having double incomes, meaning that both parties work, there is limited time to hang Holiday decorations in time for the season. There are more and more customers choosing to have their decorations professionally installed, that there is a need for more and more installers.

Not only do you broaden your business, but you also develop relationships with more potenetial customers, which in turn can gain to be successful at any time of the year.

We will be offering a class for the contractors who wish to learn the insides of the trade and how to successfully run, bid, and install a Holiday light installation business FREE OF CHARGE!

The class will be held October 7, 2009 in the Mid-Cities area of the D/FW Metroplex. This class is completely free and will teach how to bid jobs, how to install lights, and how to use the newest technology in Holiday lighting to your advantage.

LED's Are the Newest Thing in Christmas Lights

Knowing absolutely nothing about watts, transformers, or circuit overloads, this whole LED Christmas light thing makes a little bit of sense!

Did you know that LED Christmas lights can REALLY save you up to 90% of energy? I didn't believe it until one of our recent Home and Garden Market Shows at Dallas Market Hall in Dallas, Texas. While we did have our standard large hardscape exhibit, we also had a small Holiday Lights set up across the aisle.

On display, we put 8 strands of LED lights on our wire racking to show the different colors and styles. On the other side of the rack, we put 3 strands of your standard traditional mini-lights and a few larger C-9 bulb lights. Inline with both strands was their individual watt meter that you could actually put the cost per watt hour and see how much money you were spending.

We put up the display and plugged in the lights at 12:00 Noon on Friday. At the end of the show on Friday, which was 8:00pm, we had spent around .10 cents with the traditional lights and a whopping .009 cents with the LED Christmas Lights. By the shows end on 6:00pm Sunday evening we had spent about $10.00 on the traditional lights and were coming up on $0.99 cents on the LED's. I just couldn't believe it.

We now have the displays set up and we have all of our lights in stock. While we do have the traditional mini-lights as well as the C-9 bulb lights and strands, we also stock the LED lights very heavily. Come check out the lights and see the savings for yourself!

We are also having classes on professional installation coming soon, so be sure to check out our website!
