There was a time when stubborn 80-year-olds were climbing on ladders, putting up holiday lights because there were no other options.
Now there are people and small businesses in most areas that will handle your decorations for you . . . for a price, of course.
Here’s the HALLOWEEN version of that . . .
You can hire people to deck out your porch in pumpkins to prepare for trick-or-treaters.
A woman in Texas named Heather Torres has a small business called Porch Pumpkins, which charges between $350 and $1,650 to do this for people. (!!!)
She does more than 1,300 homes per year . . . and the packages don’t even involve carving intricate jack-o-lanterns, they’re just regular pumpkins.
Heather started the business back in 2020, and one report says the company rakes in over $100K per year, despite mainly operating across the fall months.
And she also sells “coaching sessions” to help other people around the country start THEIR porch pumpkin “concierge” business.
(Here are some photos of Heather’s work, and there’s more at her company’s Instagram feed. Here’s an interview with her from last year . . . and there’s more info at this link.)
