Thinking about starting a Christmas light installation business but not sure if it's the right move? You're not alone. Many entrepreneurs and service business owners are discovering how this seasonal venture can deliver serious profits, minimal overhead, and satisfied customers, all while working just a few months out of the year.
Here are the top four reasons why partnering with Novelty Lights' Certified Installer Program could be your ticket to a thriving, high-margin business:
Tremendous Growth Opportunities
The holiday lighting industry is booming. Americans spend billions of dollars every year on Christmas and holiday decorations, and the trend isn't slowing down. In fact, studies show that decorating for the holidays can boost mood, which has led to people decorating earlier and going bigger than ever before.
Even in tough economic times, demand for professional light installation has stayed strong. The industry has proven remarkably resilient through recessions and even pandemics, making it a stable, long-term business opportunity.
High-Profit Margins
Holiday lighting is one of the rare seasonal services with incredible margins. Customers are willing to pay for hassle-free, professionally installed displays that make their homes and businesses stand out.
If you're adding this service to an existing business, you can see margins between 25–45%. Starting from scratch? You can still achieve 30% margins or higher. With the bulk of installations happening over just a few months, many installers make a significant portion of their annual income in this short window.
Low Startup Costs
Getting started is easier (and more affordable) than you might think.
If you already own a service-based business, chances are you have most of the essentials: vehicles, trailers, ladders, and tools. For newcomers, the required equipment is surprisingly minimal, allowing you to deliver professional results without a huge upfront investment.
To make it even easier, Novelty Lights provides a detailed startup guide, including the tools and products you need to hit the ground running.
Stand Out from the Competition
While competition exists, many installers aren't catering to high-end clients or offering the premium products and customer experience that people are willing to pay for. That's where Novelty Lights comes in.
Our Certified Installer Program equips you with top-tier products, hands-on training, and certification helping your business stand out as a trusted, professional service provider in your market.
