Trimlight dealerships come with your own protected territory starting right at your zip code — giving you total market ownership from day one. As your business grows, your territory can too, expanding into new markets at your own pace.
While competitors race to the bottom on price in crowded markets, Trimlight dealers operate where there's little to no competition — which means you set the price and protect your margin.
Trimlight provides comprehensive training in installation, the app, sales, marketing, and troubleshooting, so your team arrives at the first job prepared and confident—not guessing.
Trimlight invented the category. Since 2010, we've been setting the standard for permanent holiday and year-round lighting — and no one has matched it since. As the only authorized reseller in your protected territory, you'll be bringing the most trusted name in the industry straight to your local market.
Trimlight gives you a ready-to-deploy playbook on day one. No other lighting program in the industry hands you this level of marketing infrastructure before you've sold your first job.
Other business opportunities take a cut of everything you earn — monthly royalties, territory fees, renewal charges. Trimlight takes none of it. Your one-time entry investment goes almost entirely to product credit, and every dollar you make after that is yours to keep.
Trimlight’s dealer support team is with you from your first quote through your hundredth installation. From day one, you are assigned a dedicated success manager whose primary goal is to help you succeed.
Trimlight comes with a lifetime product warranty and are engineered for outdoor durability. Sell with confidence knowing the product will perform year-after-year.
We initially brought Trimlight on as a simple winter add-on for our satellite installation business, but it completely transformed our future. After installing it on my own home, we fell in love with the product and knew the potential was massive. The response was immediate—we went from 250 jobs in our first year to over 600 homes installed the next year! Trimlight provided the perfect spark just as traditional satellite tech was fading, allowing us to pivot 100% to lighting and open our own brick-and-mortar location. The product quality is unmatched, the demand is incredible, and we absolutely love being part of this team.
No royalties. No monthly fees. No renewal charges. When you invest in a Trimlight dealership, nearly every dollar goes directly into product credit — inventory you'll sell back at strong margins.

Yes! We will sell you material for your personal home to try out without buying the dealership yet. Just get us information on the home and we will help to get you a price.
Territory sizes can vary depending on larger metropolitan areas or rural areas. Our standard territories have a maximum of 1 hour commute time from edge of the territory to the opposite edge. Other factors that adjust borders in a territory could also be considered based on Population, Proximity to other territories, Geographical barriers, State or Country borders, etc. Ultimately, our dealers should have a sustainable territory that does not require them to cross a border to survive. A rural town next to a larger metro city is not sustainable unless there is enough population of other towns to justify the dealer's future success.
We require that an owner of the dealership permanently resides within their territories. This allows a local contact that is dedicated to the best customer service without a long distance commute for repairs or problems. The ideal candidate is a person within the community that serves the local community.
Nothing! We don't take royalties. Since you are buying all the lights from us, that is where we make our small percentage.
Having a neighboring dealer may seem to be a threat but it has proven to be a positive situation in many areas. You do not need to give leads to the new dealer if it falls within their territory unless you want to. The new dealer also has the right to sell a job within your territory. The limitation that both have is to not directly market within an existing dealers territory. Direct marketing is considered spending money or time marketing specifically in another territory with full knowledge that you could easily eliminate that area from your marketing efforts. Appearing on television, radio, mass mailings, home shows that attract from within your area, are all considered open marketing if the dealer is unable to choose it's broadcast area. But if the dealer has the ability to choose the reach of the marketing medium, he shall not choose to market within a neighboring dealers area.
Yes. Expansion is possible. Adding zip codes to a territory is a possibility but the zip codes would need to touch the current territory and work within a congruent shape. We also won't allow a dealer to expand unless they are consistently hitting their quota. We also limit a dealer to lease a territory that encompasses an entire metropolitan area.
Quotas are there to ensure the dealer strives to market and sell the product. If a dealer is unable to hit the quota, we will work with the dealer to resize the territory to a manageable territory size according to the previous sales history. If a dealer does very little in an entire year and is below 10% of the yearly quota with little interaction, we would consider the territory as abandoned. We would reserve the right to open the territory to a new dealer.
Territories are protected by us not allowing another dealer to purchase any of your zip codes. If an interested party is within your territory and they reach out to us to become a dealer, we forward the lead to you. You can work with that party to become a wholesale customer that buys material through you or you can broker a different deal to allow them to offer the product or work alongside you. That is your option.
We also do not want a dealer to only be restricted to their territory for business if they are able to go outside their territory. If a dealer receives a lead outside their area, they have full rights to take the lead. A dealer can install anywhere as long as they are careful on the method of marketing and how they are representing their business model.
Unfortunately, that is not possible. We need all zip codes covered within a city. The zip code may not be desirable and you don't need to market in that area. If you never sell a system in the area, that is fine. We just want to make sure that if a customer reaches out for a bid that their lead goes to a responsible party.
The purpose of a territory is to give you the full exclusivity for the area so you can concentrate on growing your business without worrying about a neighbor becoming a dealer too. We want a territory to be big enough to give you enough profit potential but not to be too big to over run your resources and create delays for service to customers on the outskirts of your territory. We will work with you to create a territory that makes sense for the area.
Yes and No. We prioritize discussions with the first applicants that come to us but ultimately we reserve the right to determine the best fit for our culture and to work with the candidates that align best with our goals and mission statement. Candidates that have the strongest business position and offering will be prioritized.
