Brighten your bottom line: Offering holiday lighting services
If you haven’t considered offering holiday decorating services, it’s a good way to expand your business, keep workers employed during a slow time and generate positive public relations. All you need is a crew, a few good extension ladders and the know-how to capture a portion of holiday decorating budgets. Whether you buy a franchise that provides training and a discount on quality lights, or you acquire the information on your own, it’s an option many find not only lucrative, but also enjoyable.

To you, it means an opportunity to establish yourself as the sole resource for your client, creating customer loyalty while potentially developing more business for yourself.
