The Christmas Decorators

About The Christmas Decorators

Be part of The Christmas Decorators – the United Kingdom’s favourite seasonal decorating company.

The Christmas Decorators designs, manufactures and installs spectacular festive decorations and lights to homes and businesses both indoors and outdoors across the UK.

As a Christmas Decorator, you will be offering a professional service from the initial decoration concept through to takedown. With a keen eye for detail and a team of fitters supporting you, you will work in partnership with your clients to make their Christmas, seasonal, or event decoration dreams come true.

You will benefit from the brand’s prestigious reputation and growing portfolio of A-list clients. Franchisees provide showstopping decorations for big brand names such as Harrods, O2 stores, and Grosvenor Casinos. 

How does The Christmas Decorators franchise model work?

Franchisees become Christmas decorators, offering a unique service to both commercial and residential clients.

The Christmas Decorators franchisee will fulfil different roles at different times in the year. Over the spring and summer, you will work on the marketing of your new franchise, attend corporate events to network and build a customer base, then start to make appointments and sales.

In September, you will begin to plan your jobs for all your clients by checking and testing all the stock and making new orders as required, filling your diary with install dates. By October, you will begin to do some commercial installations.

Unsurprisingly, The Christmas Decorators franchise work becomes intense over November and December because you will need to work long hours and seven days a week to ensure that the installations are completed to the necessary standard. You get Christmas itself off although a member of your team needs to be available if required and then starts again at New Year and sometimes before when you will have to take the installations down and pack everything away until the next year.

How much does a The Christmas Decorators franchise cost?

The Christmas Decorators currently operates successfully in 40 areas across the country and is rapidly expanding due to ever-growing demand from our local and national clients.

You will need an initial cash investment of £25,000-plus VAT, plus, minimum additional working capital of £20,000 for the day-to-day running of the business. The Christmas Decorators can support you through the process to apply for additional funding if required.

Joining The Christmas Decorators gives you the earning potential of between £50,000 and £200,000 retained gross profit per year.

Do franchisees have to pay anything monthly?

Some franchise fees do apply. There is a 10 per cent management service fee on net sales turnover and is taken as one annual payment after each Christmas in January along with a 2 per cent contribution towards national marketing that is capped at £1,000. Franchisees are also expected to spend 2 per cent of turnover locally.

Do franchisees need prior experience?

No, you don’t need industry-specific experience. Franchisees come from all walks of life, but they all share a passion for excellent customer service, making their clients’ festive decorating dreams come true, and they all have the drive to develop a successful business.

This is an exciting franchise opportunity for self-motivated people, who are driven to run their own business under a successful brand name. If you are not scared of working long hours during the festive period, have an enthusiasm for what you do and have a keen eye for detail with excellent people skills, then fill out the enquiry form on this page.

Will franchisees need an accountant to run the business?

Yes, it is likely that you will have to hire an accountant for the business.

Do The Christmas Decorators franchisees do their own marketing?

Each franchise owner is responsible for marketing in their territory. Although you do have the support of the company’s marketing efforts, you need to make use of the sales and marketing programme, PR programmes, promotional materials, and the website you are provided with.

You will have to network and market activity to residential and commercial customers. Word-of-mouth is an excellent source of marketing so ensuring all your clients are happy is very important and valuable in terms of both retaining current business and securing new business.

The Christmas Decorators team will also pass enquiries on and has two national sales managers trying to secure jobs to pass on to franchisees.
