Service Line

Professional Holiday Lighting at the National Brand Level

Every Lighting Partners franchise operates a premium holiday lighting installation business — residential and commercial, September through December, with documented install SOPs that produce consistent results in every market.

The Service

Full-Service Holiday Lighting — Not Just the Install

The Lighting Partners holiday program covers the complete cycle, not just hanging lights. This is what drives the high rebooking rates across the network.

01

Design & Quote

On-site or virtual consultation to design the lighting program and produce a fixed-price quote. Lighting Partners provides lighting-bid mockups and inside-sales resources at ProspectrDigital.com to support the bid process. No surprise invoices.

02

Installation

Trained crews install using commercial-grade fixtures and approved mounting systems. The property is left clean and installation-day ready. Average holiday lighting job value: approximately $1,500.

03

Season Service

Any fixture or run that needs attention during the holiday season is addressed on a service call at no extra charge. The lights stay on.

04

Takedown + Storage

Takedown and storage included. Lights are labeled and stored, ready for the following season. No customer handling required.

The Retention Story

70–85% Annual Rebooking Rate Across the Network

Once a homeowner experiences a professional Lighting Partners installation — design that fits the architecture, commercial-grade lights that do not fade, reliable service calls, clean takedown — they do not return to the DIY approach or switch providers. The rebooking rate is the core value driver in this business.

  • Customers handle zero logistics — from quote to takedown
  • Commercial-grade LED that does not fade, yellow, or fail mid-season
  • Fixed-price quoting with no hidden fees creates trust from the first job
  • Annual relationship with the same crew builds loyalty year over year

Market Segments

Residential and Commercial Both Scale

Lighting Partners franchisees build both residential and commercial holiday lighting client bases. The two segments compound each other — commercial properties see residential installs nearby and vice versa.

Residential

Single-family homes, luxury estates, townhomes, and condos. Rooflines, trees, wreaths, entryways, windows, and outdoor living areas. The residential base is the largest volume segment — high rebooking rates and referrals drive exponential growth each season.

  • Roofline + gutter lighting
  • Tree and shrub wrapping
  • Entryway + door accent
  • Balcony and railing installs
  • Custom estate programs

Commercial

Retail corridors, mixed-use developments, office parks, HOAs, apartment complexes, restaurants, hotels, and hospitality properties. Commercial clients often sign annual contracts and allow off-hours installation windows. The per-job revenue is significantly higher.

  • Retail storefront programs
  • HOA community lighting
  • Office and commercial park installs
  • Hospitality and restaurant lighting
  • After-hours + overnight work available

The Franchise Perspective

Holiday Lighting as a Business Line

For a Lighting Partners franchise owner, holiday lighting is the high-intensity seasonal revenue sprint that funds the year. Most operators run 80–120 installs in a 10-week window, with service calls and takedown extending into the new year. The permanent lighting work runs between January and September, filling the calendar year-round.

Common Questions

Holiday Lighting Franchise FAQ

When does the holiday lighting season run?
Installations run September through December with the heaviest volume in October and November. Service runs through the display season, takedown runs in January, and storage runs February through August.
What does a holiday lighting service include?
A full-service holiday lighting program includes design, installation, in-season service, removal after the season, and off-season storage of the customer's lighting materials.
Do holiday lighting customers come back the next year?
Rebooking is the core economics of the business. Once a homeowner or property manager has experienced a professional installation with design, service, takedown, and storage handled for them, most choose to rebook the following season rather than return to a do-it-yourself approach.
Is holiday lighting a good business to start?
It is a strong seasonal business with high repeat rates and low barriers to technical entry, and its main weakness is a compressed revenue window against year-round overhead. Operators who pair it with permanent outdoor lighting address that weakness directly.
