Basic products needed: 

• C9 Cord with 12″ Spacing Spools. These 1000 ft of green wires make any home immediately filled with the Christmas spirit, and every customer is likely to request.
•  C9 bulbs. Stock plenty of these to fill out the spools, and keep different LED bulb colors on hand. Customers love choices.
• The large, lush, and green wreaths on front doors are synonymous with Christmas, 
• Hardwear: Clips, timers, male and female plugs, zip ties, etc. 

Pro Tip: Offer storage services. Once you custom build light strands and decorations for a home, offer to store the decorations and reinstall them next year. Book the installation date in January, setting up guaranteed revenue for the next holiday season.
