And did we mention that the Certified Lights Partnership Program is completely FREE to join? That’s right, there are NO FEEs associated with the partnership program at this time. That means you can start saving on your lighting products and receiving top-notch support without spending a dime. We only ask a couple of things from you as a CL Partner…

1. First, as a CL partner, you agree to make Certified Lights your primary Holiday Lighting supplier whenever possible. In the event Certified Lights CANNOT supply a specific product, then partners are free to seek them from other sources. If a matter of product cost is a concern, ask us about our partner-price-matching policy. In most cases we can meet (if not beat) competitor pricing. It really is a no-brainer!
2. Second, we ask that you take the CL Partners Program and your business development seriously. As mentioned before, our mission is to be the clear leader in the holiday lighting industry and we want the same for our partners. We ask that you bring a growth mindset into becoming a partner - taking full advantage of all the resources and development opportunities the CL Partner Program has to offer. That means going through the business training material, showing up to partner calls and events whenever possible, sharing your challenges and wins, and making the most of this relationship. In other words, we ask that you play full out! Because that’s what we’re all about.

By now, you’ve probably noticed that our entire growth model is linked to and correlated with the success and growth of our Partners. 

And We Pride Ourselves On That! We believe that truly sets us apart from everyone else and ultimately drives us to being our best and providing the best products and services to partners.
