10% Off Ends Oct 1: Why You Should Book Holiday Lights Now

Published July 10, 2026 · GlowGetter Lighting · Omaha, NE

Every year, sometime around mid-November, the phone starts ringing with the same question: "Can you still fit us in before Thanksgiving?" Sometimes the answer is yes. Often it's "we'll do our best." And every year, the families who booked back in September are the ones already glowing while everyone else is checking the calendar.

This post is our friendly nudge: if professional holiday lights are on your list this year, the smartest day to book them is a warm one.

Why does booking before October 1 save you 10%?

Simple: early bookings let us plan. When we know your project in September, we can map crew routes efficiently, order exactly the right materials, and finish your custom design rendering without a deadline breathing down anyone's neck. That planning saves us real cost — and we pass it back as an early-bird discount.

On a Merry & Bright package starting at $1,450, 10% is roughly the cost of a family night out at the Durham Museum's holiday exhibit. On a Winter Wonderland package starting at $2,800, it's considerably more. Same lights, same service, same wonder — just a better price for deciding early. You can see how the numbers work on our pricing page.

What else do early bookers get?

The discount gets the headlines, but honestly, these perks matter just as much:

• First pick of install dates. Want your lights up the week before Thanksgiving? Early bookers choose; late bookers take what's left.
• More design time. Every GlowGetter project starts with a rendering of your actual home, glowing. In September, we can revise and refine until it's perfect.
• Guaranteed materials. We install commercial-grade LEDs that we own and maintain. Booking early means your exact colors and lengths are reserved before the seasonal rush.
• Zero November stress. While neighbors are untangling strands in a cold garage, you're done. You decided in September.

Isn't it strange to think about Christmas lights in September?

It feels that way for about five minutes — then it feels brilliant. Think of it like booking a summer vacation in January: the people who plan ahead get the best options at the best price. And unlike a vacation, there's nothing to do after booking. We handle the design, the installation, in-season service if a single bulb misbehaves, January takedown, and off-season storage. Your entire job is to flip the switch and enjoy it. That's the whole model behind our holiday lighting service.

What happens after October 1?

We keep booking until the calendar fills — and it does fill. Our install season runs hard from late October through mid-December across the whole Omaha metro, from Elkhorn to Bellevue to Council Bluffs. Residential projects share the schedule with commercial work, too — like the lighted entrance we design and install at Southbrook. Once a week is full, it's full; no discount can conjure another Tuesday.

So the honest math is this: booking now costs you nothing today (you don't pay until the season), saves you 10%, and guarantees your spot. Waiting saves you nothing and risks the dates you actually want.

It helps to put the discount in plain dollars. On a Silent Night roofline package starting at $750, 10% is $75 back in your pocket; on a Merry & Bright display from $1,450, it's $145; and on a full Winter Wonderland from $2,800, the early-bird savings top $280 — all for making the same decision a few weeks sooner.

How do you claim the early-bird discount?

Request your free design through the button below, or just call or text 531-999-6388 and tell Luke you want the early-bird rate. We'll walk your home's photos, sketch a design rendering, and hold your install window. As a family-run company with a 5.0 Google rating, we'd rather earn your booking with a conversation than a countdown timer — but the October 1 deadline is real, so don't let it sneak past.
