Now that November is upon us, and the promise of cooler weather is right around the corner, our holiday bells – the telephones – are ringing with folks on the line asking to schedule their holiday lighting installation. Actually, the phone started ringing in August! What is it about our holiday lighting services that would cause our clients to start calling before the end of summer to be sure they get on our schedule in November?
The most obvious answer is the limited time available for this seasonal service. Most folks love to be able to flip the switch on Thanksgiving to signal the start of the Christmas season with all their holiday lighting in place ready for the big opening “ta-daa” after their turkey dinner. This is a great way to kick off the holiday season in your neighborhood, but few people want their lights actually installed before Halloween. In anticipation of a very short three-week window, our regular clients know to get their dibs in early!
Aside from the time constraints, the joy of having someone else handle all that untangling, ladder-climbing and extension cord plugging is a great convenience! Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to sit back and watch our professional crew show up and take care of all that exterior lighting for you? When our team leaves your home, you will be proud of how your home looks for the holidays. Then, after the New Year has been properly rung in, we return to the home to take down all the lights and carefully store them at our facility until next year. No sweat, no stress, and no boxes for you to trip over or haul to your attic or garage. What could be easier than that?
Many homeowners appreciate the custom nature of our seasonal lighting. Strings of lights are cut to fit your roofline eliminating sags and blank spots where connections used to be placed. Prefer a unique color scheme to help your home stand out in the neighborhood? We can do that! And the energy efficient LED products that use 90% less energy than the traditional incandescent lighting of the past can save you a bundle on your seasonal electric bill. These lighting strings also allow us to put the whole system on one controller, automatically turning on and off when you want. No tripping circuit breakers, and no more running around the house plugging in or unplugging extension cords from wall sockets in the cold and dark.
We can also punch up your outdoor project with bows, lighted garland, yard motifs or lawn art to create a complete holiday wonderland!
One last note for the homeowner looking to REALLY jazz up the holidays – the really cool homes with the fancy lights that flash to music? We can do that too!
Happy holidays from all of us at NightScenes! And remember that using a professional holiday lighting company can truly take the stress out of the days ahead making them even more merry and bright!
