Christmas Decor Named Among Top Businesses Under $50,000 by Entrepreneur Magazine
The brand's low-cost model landed it the number 48 spot on the prestigious list.
DALLAS, May 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Christmas Decor, the 300-plus unit strong Texas-based holiday decorating franchise, has been named a Top Franchise for Less Than $50,000 by Entrepreneur Magazine. The companies on this list are ranked based on the scores they received in Entrepreneur's 2023 Franchise 500 ranking, which analyzes each brand on more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Christmas Decor ranked within the top 50 brands at number 48.
"It is an honor to be recognized by Entrepreneur as a top franchise under $50,000," said Brandon Stephens, President of Christmas Decor. "Over the past several years, Christmas Decor has seen impressive growth, and we're looking forward to keeping the momentum going by partnering with even more franchisees this year."
An investment in Christmas Decor is relatively low-cost, ranging from just $19,550 to $62,250, and the brand's average franchisee makes $339,252 in average gross sales in 3+ years of operation.
Originally created as an off-season supplement to the landscaping business, Christmas Decor now brings holiday cheer to over 300 communities across North America, ultimately creating jobs for 3,000-plus seasonal workers that might otherwise be unemployed. For landscapers and other outdoor business owners, Christmas Decor provides an opportunity to offset fixed overhead costs, generate new income streams and maintain key employees year-round.
The brand also brings its franchisees repeat business from homeowners and commercial contacts who value the brand's renowned white-glove service and customized designs. Providing a high-margin service like holiday decorating for commercial clients has its financial benefits. And on the residential side, seasonal contractors who offer multiple home services benefit from more than just finances.
"You're recruiting at a very economically resilient client," said Stephens. "Our residential clients tend to be on the more affluent side, and you're building relationships with them. So if you're a contractor who offers other services, you may land them as a Christmas client, then you can go in and cross-sell them on all your other services."
Franchisees who want to diversify their portfolio can also take advantage of other The Decor Group brands within the parent company, including low-voltage landscape lighting provider Nite Time Decor and permanent commercial lighting provider PermaLites 365, allowing them to operate a year-round business. In addition, these ancillary services allow franchisees to better tap into the commercial side of the business.
"The Decor Group brands are created to help franchisees generate year-round revenue and supplement other seasonal businesses," said Stephens. "Now, after experiencing some of our strongest growth yet over the past several years, we are excited to continue partnering with franchisees and giving them the opportunity to service their communities all year-round."
