Kickoff week is here — for the NFL and for Christmas light installers.

Ron and Laura Robey break down NFL Week 1 of the 2026 season and connect the games to the real work of running a Christmas light installation business: preseason prep, sales, estimating, crew leadership, callbacks, and how you start the year when the calendar flips toward Christmas.

This is the Christmas Light Installers Mastermind Podcast from Kingdom Radio and ChristmasContractor.com. If you install Christmas lights professionally, sell holiday lighting, hang C9 bulbs, add permanent lighting, or you are building a Christmas lighting company, this episode is built for you.

IN THIS EPISODE

• Why Week 1 of football feels exactly like the first wave of Christmas light installation quotes

• Chicago 59, Carolina 37 — what happens when your offense (sales + production) is actually ready

• Detroit 31, New Orleans 30 in OT — the cost of taking your foot off the gas after a 21–0 start

• Arizona as a massive underdog beating the Chargers 26–14 — how a smaller Christmas light contractor beats a bigger company

• Cincinnati forcing four turnovers — investing in “defense”: training, systems, quality control, and fewer callbacks

• Kansas City 31, Denver 10 on Monday Night Football — preparation vs. chaos when the lights come on

• Seattle 13, New England 10 — winning ugly, field position, and treating every lead like it matters

• San Francisco 27, Los Angeles Rams 7 in Melbourne — logistics, travel, and commercial Christmas lighting jobs that are not in your backyard

• New York Giants 28, Dallas 20 — culture, coaching, and setting a standard on Day 1

• Week 1 overreactions — why one slow day of Christmas light estimates does not define your 2026 season

CHRISTMAS LIGHT INSTALLATION TOPICS

We get into professional Christmas light installation, holiday lighting contractors, C9 Christmas lights, socket wire, clips, mini lights, commercial Christmas lighting, residential Christmas light hanging, permanent lighting, off-season planning, pricing, hiring crews, safety, customer experience, marketing for Christmas light installers, websites, lead generation, and how to scale a Christmas lighting business before the rush hits.

The Christmas season does not start on Thanksgiving. It starts now. This is when Christmas light installers lock materials, set packages, train crews, tighten scripts, and decide whether 2026 is another grind or a real step up.

Christmas season is officially HERE — and it’s time to get busy.

Ron and Laura Robey are back on the Christmas Light Installers Mastermind Podcast talking about the 2026 Christmas light installation season, growing a stronger holiday lighting company, what contractors should be focused on right now, and how AI for business is changing the way entrepreneurs operate.

The professional Christmas lighting industry is moving quickly. Customers are looking for installers, crews are being built, materials are moving, estimates are going out, and contractors across the country are entering the most important part of the year.

At the same time, artificial intelligence is creating an entirely new set of opportunities for business owners.

In this episode, we talk about the intersection of Christmas light installation, entrepreneurship, technology, sales, marketing, automation, and AI — and why contractors who learn to use these tools effectively can create a serious competitive advantage.

We get into topics including:

• Preparing your Christmas light installation business for the Christmas season
• Generating and converting Christmas light installation leads
• Sales, estimating and customer communication
• Growing a professional holiday lighting company
• Hiring, crews, systems and seasonal execution
• Marketing and SEO for Christmas light installers
• Websites and digital tools for home service businesses
• AI for business owners and contractors
• Using ChatGPT and artificial intelligence to solve real business problems
• AI agents, automation and business systems
• Using AI to improve marketing, content, operations and customer experience
• Building technology that actually removes work instead of creating more of it
• Professional Christmas lighting products, supplies and contractor resources
• The future of the Christmas light installation industry

AI is becoming much more than a tool for writing emails or social media posts. Business owners are beginning to use artificial intelligence for research, sales, estimating, training, SEO, website development, customer service, automation, operations and decision-making.

Build a better business. Serve more people. Create more opportunity.

What is the real purpose of building a successful Christmas light installation business?

For Ron and Laura Robey, the goal is bigger than installing lights, selling products, or growing revenue. It is about creating opportunities, building a lasting family legacy, and gaining the freedom to experience life together.

In this episode of the Christmas Light Installers Mastermind Podcast, Ron and Laura are joined by Levi, Stella, and Jacob as the entire Robey family heads to Miami. It is a behind-the-scenes look at the family, the business, and the bigger mission driving everything they are building.

Ron and Laura discuss how years of hard work in the Christmas lighting industry can create more than seasonal income. When operated correctly, a Christmas light business can provide financial opportunity, family flexibility, leadership development, and experiences that would not otherwise be possible.

This episode covers:

• Building a Christmas light company with a larger purpose
• Creating family freedom through entrepreneurship
• Growing a seasonal business into a dependable operation
• Involving your family in the business journey
• Developing systems that allow the owner to step away
• Turning short-term seasonal work into long-term opportunity
• Building a company, brand, and legacy that can outlive the founder
• Why success should be measured by more than revenue
• The importance of enjoying the journey while building the business
• What the Robey family is creating through the Kingdom ecosystem

The Christmas light installation industry continues to grow, but the contractors who succeed long-term will be the ones who build strong systems, dependable teams, recognizable brands, and a clear purpose behind their companies.

Whether you are starting a Christmas light business, growing an existing installation company, hiring your first crew, or working toward greater freedom in your life, this episode offers encouragement from a family that is actively walking through the process.

The goal is not simply to stay busy during Christmas.

The goal is to build something that changes your family’s future.

Welcome to the Christmas Light Installers Mastermind—the place where real installers have real conversations about building successful holiday lighting businesses.

Ron and Laura Robey welcome this year’s newest members, along with the contractors who will join this growing international community in the months ahead. The Mastermind connects Christmas light installers from different markets and experience levels to discuss pricing, sales, crews, equipment, scheduling, commercial projects, leadership, customer service, and sustainable business growth.

Whether you are preparing for your first season or managing multiple installation crews, this community gives you access to practical knowledge from professionals who understand the opportunities and challenges of the Christmas light installation industry.

Full Episode Notes

Welcome to the Christmas Light Installers Mastermind

The Christmas Light Installers Mastermind continues to grow—and our conversations are reaching installers throughout the United States and around the world.

In this episode, Ron and Laura Robey welcome all the new members who have joined us this year, as well as the contractors, business owners, crew leaders, designers, suppliers, and industry professionals who will discover this community in the future.

This is not a group built around theories from people standing outside the industry.

This is where real Christmas light installers have real conversations.

We discuss what actually happens while operating a professional holiday lighting company:

• How to price Christmas light installation projects profitably
• How to sell residential and commercial displays
• How to recruit, train, schedule, and lead installation crews
• How to estimate labor, materials, removals, and storage
• How to handle difficult projects and customer expectations
• How to pursue HOA, municipal, retail, and commercial opportunities
• How to improve systems before the busy Christmas season
• How to learn from mistakes without repeating them
• How to build a company that can grow beyond the owner

The Christmas light installation industry has expanded far beyond hanging a few strands of lights. Contractors are building serious seasonal businesses, creating jobs, serving communities, installing large commercial displays, and developing year-round revenue opportunities.

Our goal is to connect those installers and help raise the standard of professionalism throughout the industry.

A Mastermind Built on Real Experience

You do not need to be the largest company in your market to contribute.

A lesson from your first season may help another new installer avoid a costly mistake. A system developed by an experienced operator may completely change how another company handles estimating, scheduling, payroll, inventory, or removal.

The value of the Mastermind comes from installers being willing to:

• Ask honest questions
• Share what is working
• Discuss what went wrong
• Help other contractors improve
• Build relationships instead of competing in isolation

In this episode of the Christmas Light Installers Mastermind, Ron Robey and Laura Robey sit down with Joyce Perhac, owner of Christmas Expo, and Michael Simmons, RGB expert and Christmas Expo committee member, to talk about the power of networking, education, and showing up for industry events.

With Christmas Expo coming to the Dallas / Fort Worth area in July, this conversation looks at how the event started, how it has grown, and why installers, vendors, decorators, and business owners should make time to attend events that help them grow.

You can learn a lot from YouTube, Facebook groups, and online training, but there is something different about being in the room. Events give you the chance to meet other contractors, ask better questions, see products in person, build relationships with vendors, and get around people who are serious about growing their business.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How Christmas Expo began and how it became a major industry event
• Why in-person networking still matters
• The value of continuing education for Christmas light installers
• How events can help contractors find new ideas, products, and partnerships
• Why surrounding yourself with other business owners can change the way you think
• What installers can expect from Christmas Expo in the Dallas / Fort Worth area

Whether you are brand new to the Christmas light industry or have been installing for years, this episode is a reminder that growth often happens when you step away from the day-to-day work and get around people who are building, learning, and pushing the industry forward.

In this episode of the Christmas Light Installers Mastermind Podcast, Ron and Laura sit down with Mynor Mendoza from Your Pixel Store for a deep dive into the world of RGB lighting, pixels, controllers, light shows, sequencing, and the future of advanced Christmas lighting.

This episode is for the installers, contractors, lighting nerds, and business owners who want to understand what is possible beyond traditional Christmas lights.

We talk about how Mynor got started in the pixel and RGB world, what Your Pixel Store does for the lighting community, and why more Christmas light installers are starting to pay attention to programmable lighting, controllers, power injection, and custom light shows.

The conversation also covers whether every Christmas light installer should offer RGB and pixel lighting, or whether this is a specialty service that requires the right training, planning, and technical understanding.

If you have ever wondered what pixels are, how they work, what makes a light show look good, or how this technology fits into the future of the holiday lighting industry, this episode is for you.

Perfect — then I’d lead hard with “Ron Robey” in both the title and the first two lines of the episode notes, because podcast platforms and search results tend to favor that.

Best title: Ron Robey Reacts Live to His American Dream Interview | Ron & Laura Show

In Episode 4 of the Christmas Light Installers Mastermind Podcast, Ron and Laura talk about the meaning behind “It Is Finished” and how faith, family, marriage, adoption, and purpose all come together in this season of life. This episode covers what has been happening since the last podcast, the personal significance of 3PM, what God has been doing in their family, and how that message connects to business, leadership, and moving forward with confidence.

On the Kingdom Christmas Lights podcast, Joseph and Chelsea Murphy frequently discuss important industry topics, including one of the most debated—contractors who charge based on a "price per foot" model for Christmas light installations. In their opinion, this pricing strategy doesn’t capture the true value of what a premium holiday lighting service should be. Instead, they advocate for a service-based approach that prioritizes quality, experience, and personalization.

### The Issue with "Price per Foot" Installations

Many contractors in the holiday lighting industry offer per-foot pricing as a straightforward way to charge for installations. While this may seem like a simple method for customers to understand, Joseph and Chelsea believe it often overlooks the true essence of the service. Charging by the foot reduces the project to mere numbers, rather than reflecting the care and expertise required to create a unique, professional holiday display.

According to Joseph and Chelsea, per-foot pricing can lead to cookie-cutter installations where the main focus is quantity over quality. These installations might not account for important factors like the complexity of the design, the type of rooflines or architectural features involved, or the special lighting needs of a customer’s home or business. It limits creativity and fails to reflect the comprehensive service that goes into designing, installing, and maintaining beautiful holiday lighting.

By focusing on service rather than a per-foot calculation, Kingdom Christmas Lights ensures that every client receives personalized attention and a display that is truly unique to their property. This approach also allows them to factor in details like roof safety, energy-efficient solutions, and optimal lighting placement, which are all essential for a high-quality display.

To hear more about their perspective on holiday lighting services and the issues with per-foot pricing, tune in to the Kingdom Christmas Lights Podcast hosted by Joseph and Chelsea Murphy.

Choosing the right Christmas light installation contractor can be a daunting task, but it is important to ensure that your holiday decorations are installed safely and professionally. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a contractor:

Experience and expertise: Look for a contractor with a proven track record of successful installations. Ask for references and photos of previous projects to get an idea of their skill level. It is also important to ensure that the contractor has experience working with the type of property you have, whether it is a residential home, commercial building, or outdoor event space.

Safety measures: Christmas light installation can be dangerous, particularly if the contractor is working at heights. Make sure the contractor has a comprehensive safety plan in place and that all workers are trained in proper safety procedures. Ask to see proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage to ensure that you will not be held liable for any accidents or injuries that occur on your property.

Quality of materials: The quality of the lights and other decorations used can make a big difference in the overall appearance of your holiday display. Look for a contractor that uses high-quality, commercial-grade lights and materials that are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and extended use. Cheaper, lower-quality lights may save you money in the short term, but they are more likely to fail or break down, requiring costly repairs or replacements.

Customization options: Every property is unique, and you want your holiday decorations to reflect your personal style and taste. Look for a contractor that offers a range of customization options, including different light colors and styles, as well as other decorative elements like garlands, wreaths, and bows.

Price and value: Of course, cost is an important consideration when selecting a contractor. Get multiple quotes from different contractors to compare pricing and services. However, keep in mind that the lowest price may not always be the best value. Look for a contractor that offers a fair price for high-quality materials and skilled labor, and that is willing to work with you to create a holiday display that meets your needs and budget.
