This alone has been a key contributor to franchisees’ continued growth, but the other, sometimes less obvious, factors associated with growing into new segments have also presented major returns.Allowing continuity throughout the year, across multiple service segments, has allowed franchisees to boost retention, increase revenue and scale strategically with a true three-in-one business model.One of the most rewarding aspects of the holiday lighting business is the joy it brings to both customers and teams. For business owners and technicians alike, there’s something special about creating that magical moment when a family sees their home illuminated for the season, especially through the eyes of children, whose excitement is unforgettable. While services like pest control are essential and provide tremendous value, holiday lighting offers a unique kind of instant gratification, with visible transformation and lasting emotional impact.Hunters-Humbug’s model gives franchise owners the ability to attract and retain top talent year-round, which is a challenge many other outdoor service businesses struggle with. In seasonal models, revenue gaps often force owners to lose skilled employees during slower months, only to rehire and retrain when demand returns. By contrast, Hunters-Humbug’s multi-service line program allows franchisees to keep their teams engaged across a variety of services throughout the year. Paired with resources like affordable health care options and employee benefits, this structure eliminates one of the biggest obstacles in the industry and creates a stronger, more sustainable workforce for franchisees.<h2>A White Glove Approach to a ‘Growing Space’</h2>“Holiday lighting is still a relatively sophomoric space,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericmartinfranchisedevelopment/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=hunters-humbug-holiday-lighting-margins-drive-growth-2730094" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Eric Martin</a>, senior vice president of franchise development at Happinest Brands. “It’s largely occupied by independent owners, and with&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/mosquitohunters/info">Hunters-Humbug</a>, we saw an opportunity to bring marketing strategy, proven systems and a new level of professionalism — a true white-glove approach to holiday lighting and decor services.”For Hunters-Humbug teams, the business isn’t just about hanging lights. The concept leverages a complete concierge experience that includes custom design, professional installation, all-season maintenance, timely takedown and secure storage during the off-season.&nbsp;This level of service generally appeals to a higher-end client base.&nbsp;“Franchisees love holiday lighting because of the high margins,” Martin said.<h2>Margins Compound Year After Year</h2>The financial structure, including these great margins, is what really drives franchisees’ growth. In the first year of service, a client’s payment covers the cost of design, materials (commercial-grade, custom-fit LED lights), labor, installation, maintenance and removal. It’s a strong model in the first year of installation, but the magic happens in subsequent years.“Guess what? The next year, when a customer is ready for us to reinstall those same lights, it’s the same price point,” Martin said. “But it’s a much lesser expense for the franchisee in year two and beyond because the lights have already been purchased, ordered, installed and fit.”Because the materials are already paid for and the lights have already been customized to the property, reinstallation takes a fraction of the time. For every returning customer, franchisees have a drop in material and labor costs while continuing to charge the same price — significantly boosting profit margins on the service.<h2>Fueling the Entire Business</h2>The increased cash flow from holiday lighting benefits franchisees’ bottom lines through the winter season and beyond. Higher margins create a financial surplus that can be strategically reinvested to strengthen the entire three-in-one operation, funding things like marketing, territory expansion and team growth.&nbsp;“Franchisees are using some of that cash flow to reinvest into the pest control and mosquito arms of the business as well,” Martin said. “This cycle allows a strong holiday season to fund a running start for the pest and mosquito seasons, further boosting sustainability and year-over-year growth across the board.”By solving the struggles associated with seasonality, including cash flow, with a high-margin service, Hunters-Humbug has created a model where each segment of the business benefits the next, setting owners up to build and retain great teams and scale operations effectively all year long.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/mosquitohunters">https://1851franchise.com/mosquitohunters</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
