Trim,

How about firewood?

Small town of 12,000-- just depends on the economy there. Most people stretching for Christmas would have a tough time paying someone $100 to hang lights.

That service works well with busy affluent people. Busy middle class tend to try it themself or not at all.

Go for the combo!
Christmas tree lot, Christmas lights decorating, firewood, AND snow removal.. just kidding that's too much at one time.

This will sound funny, but

what do people use for heating homes in winter? Are there even many fireplaces or wood stoves? I'm in Boise. And I love a good fire!

doubled sales? doubled profits? doubled call backs? doubled storm damage? double trouble?
