Protected Territories
Cover your local area without stretching past your capabilities. With a Trimlight dealership, you are able to be assigned to a geographical area starting at your zip code and expanding into more markets as your company grows and expands. Expansion requests are at the discretion of Trimlight.
Territories can start at a 10-mile radius from your zip code or a congruent shape and you are able to be the only Trimlight dealer in the area. With Trimlight dealerships, you will only have a one-time upfront payment for materials and have no yearly or monthly fees.
Low Start-Up Investment
There's a low capital required to start up a Trimlight dealership on the dealer's side. We offer inexpensive sales aids to help with closing the deals. We offer marketing advice, best practices, yard signs, signage for vehicles and trailers. All are available but not required.
We also offer access to company photos, logos, estimating sheets, national web presence, and pre-made commercials and videos.
Minimal Competition
Trimlight is a unique innovation that offers a brand new product line that has minimal competition.
With your new dealership, you become the only authorized reseller for the Trimlight product line in your agreed upon area.
You will keep your sales and installation team at a competitive advantage by offering products with the best design, value, and product warranty for permanent holiday and year-around lighting.
Owner-Driven Support & Education
Spending time operating the app and learning and knowing the system inside out so you have the ability to help troubleshoot and train new users, customers, and technicians might require home study and time dedicated to learning.

Territory FAQ
-
Can I install a system before making a decision?
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.
-
Can I offer Trimlight to customers prior to becoming a dealer?
If you would like to buy at wholesale to try it out for a few jobs, that can be arranged. But if an interested dealer comes in during your testing period for your same area, we would consider the territory to be available and work with them directly. If they end up becoming a dealer before you, you would need to purchase from them from then on since they are now the exclusive dealer for the area.
-
How do you calculate territory size?
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.
-
Do I have to live a territory to own it?
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.
-
What cut will you take of my sales?
Nothing! We don't take royalties. Since you are buying all the lights from us, that is where we make our small percentage.
-
What if another contractor becomes a dealer near my territory?
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.
-
Can I expand my territory in the future?
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.
-
Is there a quota for dealers?
Yes. We have a quota for dealers. We want to make sure that dealers have a little skin in the game to make this profitable for them and for us. The quota is 400' of Trimlight per zip code per year in the USA. The quota for Canada is 1.5' per postal code per year. That amount does not need to come out of each zip code. As long as the dealer purchases an overall amount of Trimlight for their territory per year. Where the job is located does not matter to us.
-
What happens if I don't hit my quota?
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.
-
How are territories protected?
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. -
What if I don't want to serve a zip code within my territory?
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.
-
Are there minimums or maximums zip/postal codes when determining a territory?
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. Choose a territory that at it's maximum size you can easily drive to the borders within 20-30 minutes.
-
Is this a first come - first serve opportunity?
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.
