Codie Sanchez(@Codie_Sanchez):One of the most underrated seasonal businesses in America: Christmas lights. A guy in our business buying Academy just bought a $700k a year exterior maintenance company that makes almost half its revenue from them. About $280k in a 6 to 8 week sprint. Rest of the year is split between deck restoration, house washing, and asphalt maintenance. The business is 27 years old. Spends around $3k a year on marketing. Rest of the jobs mostly come from repeat clients. A lot of buyers get scared off by seasonal businesses. He liked the split on this one: summer carries half the year (irrigation), Christmas lights carry the other.
