Are you looking for a new business opportunity or side hustle that’s both profitable and enjoyable? Have you considered the Christmas lighting industry?
Starting a business in this space might seem like something best left to the holiday season, but January—yes, January—is the best time to launch your Christmas lighting venture. And 2025 is an excellent year to do it.
In this blog post, we’ll explore why January is the ideal time to dive into the Christmas lighting business, how you can master your skills well before the busy season hits, and how Jeff Jerina’s Christmas Lights for Profit training course with over 65 interactive video lessons, fully customizable business contract forms, and optional business coaching can help you get started and succeed.
Why January is the Best Time to Start Your Christmas Lighting Business
The new year is a time for fresh starts, and what better way to kick off 2025 than by investing in a business that not only allows you to work in a fun, seasonal industry but also provides solid profit potential year after year? Here's why starting your Christmas lighting business in January is a strategic move:
1. Prepare in Advance for the Holiday Rush
Most people associate Christmas lights with the holiday season, but the truth is, starting your holiday lighting business in January gives you months of preparation time before the demand picks up in October. By mastering your skills, acquiring the necessary equipment, and setting up your business structure early, you can hit the ground running as soon as the holiday season approaches.
Want to learn exactly how to get started? Jeff's Christmas light training course is designed to guide you through the entire process from start to finish. Get ahead of the competition by registering now.
2. Plan and Build a Strong Foundation
When you start in January, you have the entire year to set up your business, refine your services, and plan your marketing strategy. You’ll have the opportunity to create a solid brand, develop relationships with suppliers, and learn about the best tools and materials for your Christmas light installations. Plus, you can get a head start on reaching out to potential customers before the holiday season rush begins.
Starting now ensures that you’ll be ready to offer your services at peak times and that you can establish your business reputation before the demand skyrockets in the fall.
3. Learn and Master Your Craft Early
By starting now, you have ample time to learn the ins and outs of Christmas lighting. Whether it’s perfecting your installation techniques, understanding the best designs, or learning how to safely and efficiently work with electrical systems, the extra time will help you gain confidence and experience before you have paying clients.
With Jeff Jerina’s expert training with over 25 years of owning and operating a Christmas lighting business and as a business and personal development coach, you’ll have access to comprehensive tutorials that break down everything you need to know to become a successful Christmas lighting professional. From safety tips and installation methods to pricing strategies, you’ll be well-prepared to provide top-notch services once the season begins.
4. Take Advantage of the New Year Momentum
January marks the beginning of a fresh year, and many people are looking for new opportunities, new challenges, and ways to improve their lives. This enthusiasm for starting fresh makes it a great time to launch your business. There’s a positive, motivated energy that comes with the new year, and you can channel that energy into creating a successful Christmas lighting business.
5. Get a Jump Start on Marketing and Networking
When you start planning early, you have more time to build your online presence, develop a social media strategy, and create marketing materials that will attract potential customers. By October, your brand can be established, and you'll already have a presence in your community. You can also use the months leading up to the season to network with local businesses, event planners, and property owners who might need your services.
With our all-in-one Christmas light training course, you'll not only learn how to do the physical work but also get expert guidance on marketing your new business effectively. Learn how to get the word out early, and start booking clients well before the holiday season arrives!
