Budget Smart and Early Holiday decorating is not just about buying lights. A complete budget should include: • Products and décor (lights, displays, accessories). • Installation labor and equipment (if needed) • Electrical costs (potential upgrades or added outlets and circuits). • Maintenance supplies (extra light sets, bulbs, clips, cords). • Photographer or videographer services to capture the magic and splendor of the displays for marketing, community engagement, or future promotions. • Storage solutions for the off-season (containers, boxes, warehouse space).
Planning early, ideally in spring or summer, ensures: • The best selection of products before peak season. • Access to volume pricing and early order discounts. • Enough time to line plan out the installation logistics
Pro Tip: One of the best times to begin planning your holiday program is actually right after the season ends. The previous Christmas is still fresh in everyone’s mind, making it easier to evaluate what worked well, what could be improved, and what new ideas might be worth exploring. Team members are more engaged in the discussion because they’ve just experienced the display firsthand, and their feedback is specific and actionable. As the year progresses, enthusiasm for holiday planning naturally fades and it can become harder to get decision-makers excited about details. By capturing that energy early, you set yourself up for smoother approvals, more thoughtful planning, and a program that continues to improve year after year. Work with the Right Partner Even the best plans can unravel without the right supplier. Holiday decorating is too important to leave in the hands of a vendor who is not prepared to meet your needs. The supplier you choose should be more than just a seller of products. They should be a true partner who understands your goals, helps guide product choices, and provides reliable support when challenges arise.
