The 5 things that decide whether you have an 8-week season worth running or a 4-week scramble. You need fast renewal quotes for last year's customers come October. You need on-site quotes with included take-down and storage. You need install and take-down crew dispatch. You need real margin per house based on rope feet and clip count plus 2-story upcharge. You need last year's install photos on every customer record. All in one app. Built for the tech who's hung 1,200 feet of warm white LED on a Cleveland Tudor in 28° rain on November 22nd.
Every prior-year customer's job stays on file, design, rope footage, price, and photos. Come October, pull up last year's job and send a fresh quote in a couple of taps. Last year's $1,485 install quotes again at $1,485 (or $1,540 if you bumped 4%), and she signs and pays the deposit from her phone. Get ahead of the season instead of starting from a blank quote for every repeat customer.
Walk the property. Photograph rooflines, eaves, walkways, trees. Build the all-in quote in 6 minutes. Install $1,150 plus take-down $185 plus storage $150 equals $1,485. Everything is included. Customer signs digitally and pays a 30% deposit before you back out of the driveway.
The dispatch board assigns the install crew and truck and ladder rack for November-December. The take-down board auto-creates for the same property in early January. Same crew if available. Same truck. The customer doesn't have to call to schedule the take-down. It is already on January 6th's calendar.
Rope feet, clip count, 2-story or 3-story upcharge, install hours, take-down hours. Track these per house. Your $1,485 single-story Tudor shows 51% margin with 4 hours install and 1.5 hours take-down. Your $2,800 2-story Victorian shows 38% because the second-story dormers added 90 minutes per side.
Every install has photos saved to the customer record. Next October, pull up last year's photo when you send the renewal quote, and add roofline, downspouts or the magnolia tree as optional add-ons. Seeing last year's display is often what reminds a customer they wanted more.
Starter is $19/mo. Texting, AI and dispatch start on Crew at $39. The phone line and AI receptionist are on Business at $79.
Christmas lighting is an 8-week season with a 12-month sales cycle if you run it right. The shops that win three things differently. They reach out to last year's customers in October with a renewal quote already built from last year's job, so the November rush starts with capacity already booked. They include take-down and storage in the install price so the customer doesn't have to think about it twice. They document every install with photos so next year's renewal quote is a couple of taps instead of a 30-minute phone call.
The shops that don't follow up lose customers between January and the following October. The customer takes the lights down and packs them away and forgets. By October your competitor's marketing campaign has converted her. Reaching out in October with her exact design and price already built holds the relationship through 9 months of off-season.
The saved job record is the engine. Take-down and storage included is what locks the relationship.
When the customer signs up for the install at $1,485 in November you set the relationship up for next year too. The package includes install ($1,150) and take-down ($185) and storage ($150). Schedule the take-down for the first week of January when you book the install. Her custom-cut rope and clips live in your warehouse from January through November. Next October, send her a renewal quote with the same design, crew and price ($1,485), with the magnolia tree as an optional $385 add-on; on Crew you can schedule that text ahead of time. She approves it on her phone and pays the deposit, and your November-December calendar fills before the busy season starts.
On-site quoting is what closes the new-customer in November. Walk the property with the homeowner. Photograph the roofline, the eaves, the walkway, the trees. Build the all-in quote in 6 minutes. 240 feet warm-white LED on the roofline and downspout wraps plus 2 magnolia trees plus 1 columnar evergreen by the front door plus 18 stake lights along the walkway equals install $1,150 plus take-down $185 plus storage $150 equals $1,485 all-in. The customer sees one price for the whole experience. She signs digitally. She pays a 30% deposit. The job is on Saturday's install route. You stop losing the November lead because she's getting three more bids.
Install and take-down dispatch is what makes the seasonal complexity manageable. The November-December dispatch board assigns the install crew of 3 people. It assigns the truck with the ladder rack and the 32-footer. It assigns the materials with rope feet allocated from inventory. When you book the install, schedule the take-down job for the customer's preferred January week at the same time. Same crew if available. Same truck. The customer doesn't have to call to schedule. The take-down is already on January 6th's calendar at 9am. The storage drop is scheduled for that afternoon.
Job costing tells you which houses pay and which ones eat your November weekends. Your $1,485 single-story Tudor shows 51% margin with 4 hours install and 1.5 hours take-down and 240 feet of rope and 280 clips. Your $2,800 2-story Victorian shows 38% because the second-story dormers added 90 minutes per side and the steep slate roof needed safety harnesses. Your $895 single-tree-only job shows 22% because the drive across town ate 90 minutes for a 25-minute install. Now you know which to keep. You know which to bump 8% in October. You know which single-tree jobs to politely refuse next season.
And last year's photo is what drives next year's upgrade. Every install has photos saved to the customer record. Front elevation at twilight. Walkway lights from the driveway. Magnolia tree close-up. When you send next October's renewal quote, attach last year's photo alongside an upgrade option. Last year's design quotes again at $1,485. Add the back-yard pergola for $325 more. Add the second magnolia tree on the side yard for $245 more. She approves and pays the deposit from her phone. For example, seeing the photo again can be what reminds a customer to add the upgrade she'd been meaning to.
