Holiday 2016 Shines Bright for Texas Entrepreneur Whose Experience Beams from the Capitol Tree to the U.S. Navy

Holiday 2016 Shines Bright for Texas Entrepreneur Whose Experience Beams from the Capitol Tree to the U.S. Navy
Fort Worth, TX, October 12, 2016 --(PR.com)-- From bulb lights strung over backyard parties to giant oaks wrapped seamlessly in mini lights...from modest dining room tables boasting bountiful pumpkins lit from within to national retailers decking the halls with multi-level evergreens...the brilliant Shellie Gardner really knows how to brighten things up, starting with Halloween.

“Lights are more than just bulbs and wire,” shared Shellie Gardner, owner of Christmas Light Source, selling an estimated two million lights direct to consumer throughout the last 11 years. “In particular, holiday lighting invokes memories of family, friends and tradition.” But Gardner’s successful business isn’t just sparkle and shine.

With search engine optimization stats often rivaling that of many big box retailers, sales at Christmas Light Source have grown 21.4% since 2009 – even with the home décor crash of 2013 that wiped out many of her competitors. Gardner has provided lighting for The Capitol Tree, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, The National Botanic Garden, Gap, Chicago Transit Authority, The Holy Land Experience, Six Flags and the United States Navy.

According to the National Retail Federation,* more than 171 million Americans plan to celebrate Halloween in 2016 and 70% plan to purchase decor. Seven in 10 consumers plan to hand out candy, and nearly half will decorate their home or dress in costume. Total Halloween spending is expected to reach $8.4 billion, an all-time high in the history of NRF’s annual survey conducted by Prosper Insights.
