Christmas in July: Get Ready for Holiday Lighting Season!
July 9, 2025
It might be hot out now, but the smart contractors are already prepping for winter. If you wait until November to think about holiday lights and outdoor displays, you're already behind.
This is your reminder to use the summer to plan ahead and maybe offer a little something extra this year. Here are three simple ways to build better lighting packages and boost your seasonal revenue.
1. Stock Up on Christmas Lights and Décor
Most clients don't want to deal with tangled strands or blown fuses. They want a clean install that looks good and comes down when the season's over.
Start small if you're new to landscape lighting. Offer a basic roofline package or a simple landscape setup. If you've done this before, now's the time to get fancy. Expand your offerings. Add timers, color control, and pro-grade décor that stands up to weather.
We have holiday lighting in stock for Christmas in July. Ask your local branch what's in stock now or coming soon.
2. Add Year-Round LED Landscape Lighting
Here's where it gets interesting. Color-changing LED landscape lights are an upsell that your clients can use all year long.
Need red, white, and blue for the Fourth of July? Halloween orange? Easy. What about warm white lights to highlight the landscape? We have it all available. With the right system, you can help your clients shift the whole look of their home or business with a few taps on a phone.
The best part? You're not installing seasonal lights and walking away. You're giving them something permanent with long-term value and opening up chances for more work down the line.
3. Pick the Right System for the Job
We've got several lighting control systems that give you full command of color, brightness, zones, and more.
This system lets you manage zones, adjust brightness, and change colors for different areas of the yard. It's a good choice for larger or high-end installs when your clients want complete control and flexibility.
This system uses Bluetooth Mesh technology and connects directly to your client's phone or tablet with no Wi-Fi required. It works perfectly for mid-sized or more complex spaces where simple, reliable control matters.
This setup works well when clients want better lighting but don't want to start over. It's simple to install and puts them in control of both color and brightness. It's great for retrofits or quick upgrades.
