Outdoor Christmas decor

Posted on Friday, 8th January 2010 by jkibler

Quickly learn how to earn good fast money putting up outdoor Christmas decor for people who want to decorate their homes at Christmas.

Holiday light installation is a great way to make money whether you’re looking for just some extra money at Christmas time, or you want to make enough money to last all year.

This business provides the opportunity, if done correctly, to make a lot of money in a short period of time. You can make more money in four months than most people make all year and have the rest of your year to enjoy yourself doing whatever you want.

If you are already running a service business such as lawn care or housecleaning you have an existing customer base to start with. If not, start advertising in August by putting a small one inch by one column ad in the newspaper which says Christmas lights installed, low rates and your cell phone number. Make up 1000 flyers with your name and your ad, which says Christmas lights installed, low rates and your cell phone number. Take a piece of tape and put them on windshields and tape them to the front door of homes in nice neighborhoods. Also passed them out to business people. You will be busy and you may also find yourself doing inside decorations.

Step one. Decorate your own home and make it look very nice.

Step two. When somebody calls to inquire about your service, never, I mean never, give him or her a price over the phone. Go out to meet them and make sure you are dressed neat. To get an idea of the going rates get on the Internet and find other people who are doing the same thing and ask them how much they charge. If that doesn’t work, estimate how long it will take you and charge $100 an hour. When you give the people a price do not tell them how long it will take you or how much you are charging per hour. People naturally have a hard time paying anyone more than $10 an hour to do anything. Keep in mind that your price includes coming back in January, taking everything down and boxing up and some cases actually putting it in the attic for people.

Go over with the homeowner what exactly what it is that they want and then let them go and buy everything and you install it. However, make them an appointment while you are there. Do not allow them to call you after they buy everything they need because they will put it off and you will not get the job.

Potential customers also include businesses. People who have stand-alone buildings and storefront businesses know that if they put up Christmas decorations their business will stand out and people will feel better when they come in.

If you’re planning on doing this business in a big way make sure that you will have enough people to help you. You could very quickly get to the point where all you do is meet the customers and schedule the jobs.
