How Kenny Kaufman Became Successful with Outdoor Lighting Perspectives

Kenny Kaufman, who now owns two Outdoor Lighting Perspectives franchise territories, began his career with OLP as a technician in 2004 upon returning to civilian life after a short career in the military. Kenny was an eager and budding entrepreneur from day one.

“I saw a future with Outdoor Lighting Perspectives and I really wanted to make the most of the opportunity," Kaufman said. "I worked hard and eventually worked my way up through the ranks until I was in a position to license my very own Outdoor Lighting Perspectives franchise.”

Acclaimed as “one of the nicest guys in the outdoor lighting business,” in 2007 Kenny’s dream became a reality and he licensed his first Outdoor Lighting Perspectives franchise in Columbia, South Carolina. Kenny and his team hit the ground running and quickly became the premier lighting provider in the area. Their team has been designated as one of the Top Ten Lighting Companies in the state of South Carolina as well as a recurring winner of the Super Service Award with Angie’s List.

Kenny and his team always go the extra mile to ensure the clients are satisfied. Over the years, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Columbia has continued to grow, illuminating over 7,000 spaces in the area and surrounding communities. “People like to talk about their lighting systems and referrals are certainly our biggest source of new leads,” shared Kenny.

It was the word of mouth traffic that ignited the expansion of Kenny’s business in 2014 when he added locations in Myrtle Beach and Charleston.

Kenny and his team continue to strive for perfection throughout South Carolina. Kenny and his team recently were named to the Best of Columbia Hall of Fame for the fifth consecutive year.

In 2015, Kenny also added Outdoor Lighting Perspectives sister company, Mosquito Squad® to his portfolio and looks forward to additional expansions in the years ahead.

“I love meeting people from all different walks of life. In one day we are able to transform a person’s outdoor living space into an area that they can’t wait to get home to. A space that is safer, more secure and inviting for the entire family. The look and feeling I can bring to them when they see how great their home looks 24 hours later is why I wake up and do this every day.”
