Story It all started with a spark of passion in our founder, Mike Marlow.

Mike has been lighting up properties for over 20 years, crafting unforgettable experiences through innovative design and quality products. His passion for brightening the outdoors soon became contagious, turning a holiday pastime into a booming business that has doubled in size year after year!

Location Analysis

Where Blingle! wins

The van-based, home-office service model allows territory clustering around metro and suburban rings without retail sites. Multi-territory ownership and semi-absentee operation encourage adjacent-territory buildout within one metro. Suburban single-family neighborhoods with detached homes support route density for install and takedown cycles. Commercial corridors, HOAs, and hospitality venues layer year-round work onto residential holiday demand. Owner-occupied single-family households with discretionary spending for exterior aesthetics may be attractive, along with established suburban neighborhoods where holiday and architectural lighting is socially normative. Homeowners favoring done-for-you services over DIY ladder work, including older residents, and commercial accounts such as retail centers, restaurants, hotels, HOAs, and event venues represent possible customer segments. Validate territory density, seasonal demand patterns, and commercial account opportunities in your specific market.
