“Start what?” Yes, you need to start planning your advertising to potential clients that you are available to install and take down Christmas lights and decorations.
I read an article in Irrigation and Green Industry magazine. It talks about the profits a company can make installing holiday lighting. One company mentioned in the article grosses $325,000 in less than four months with holiday lighting.
You need to find a good supplier of materials that also offers training on the installations. Don’t try to do this stuff unless you’ve been trained. Other contractors have discovered and solved the problems with this business, and they are ready to pass that info on to you. Don’t be a blockhead and discover the problems on your own.
Take a look my friends. If your workload is a little slow, now is the time to get into a training program and learn a new market.
