Hi Guys and Gals, After learning the hard way! We never use a homeowners
rats nest of lights any more. Not put away neatly, broken lights, messy
strings, blown fuses, OLD, Head ache and lots of lost time. When we are
doing work for a customer, we sell them a package deal that includes new
light strings, installation, and take down. We custom design the lights
for each customer and we store the lights in our warehouse. Much happer
for all concerned and MUCH better profit.

Phil,
There is plenty of good training material out there. I recommend a
company called Creative Decorating ( www.creativedecoratinginc.com) for
training dvd's, materials, etc. You can get a complete package from
them
that should get you up and running for about $1500 (of course you still
have to
buy the inventory, lights, cords, etc,). Also, many Christmas light
distributors will have free or relatively cheap training dvd's or
e-books
available. I think if you are organized you could easily break 100k in
your 2nd year if you have 2-3 crews going and promote the business
throughout
the year.
There are several others on here who do a good business with holiday
lights. Hopefully they will chime in.
By the way, the next issue of AWC magazine is doing a feature on holiday
lighting that should have plenty of good info.
