What's up Professional Elves. This is the Christmas Pros Podcast, the only podcast for all things professional holiday decorating! Listen in as we meet special guests, including vendors, and industry leaders, to discuss the Professional Christmas Lighting Industry and everything that goes into it!

I'm your host, Zack Marker, the Head Elf! I am also the owner of Elves N Ladders Holiday Lighting in Philadelphia and the founder of Tinsel CRM, the CRM designed for the Christmas Lighting Industry.

While the Professional Christmas industry could feel like one giant family, there are certainly competitors just like in any other industry. This podcast does its best to leave all the drama aside and just give you the facts while having some fun.

So pop those headphones in, start your pre-bulbing, and enjoy the show!

Welcome to the Christmas pros podcast. I’m your host Zack Marker. We have a lot in store for you over the next few episodes. This is just a little teaser trailer to wet your beak. We have a great group of guests lined up over the next few episodes. But I just wanted to get on here and spread the word about this new podcast. 

You know one thing I feel our Christmas industry is lacking is a great forum for information and I am hoping to fill that gap with this Christmas pros podcast. I am obviously not doing this to make money, because I am actually spending money to do it. I am doing this to make our industry more transparent by bringing in and talking to all of the different vendors and industry leaders from every side of the country as well as keeping you up-to-date on the latest news in the industry.

So in a way, I’m not here for myself I’m kind of here for you guys the listeners. So for that reason I am always going to be open to taking suggestions about who to talk to who to bring it as guests what to ask those guests in which topics to touch on. So if you have someone in mind or questions you want answered in the industry reach out and just let me know and i will do my best to get them on the show and ask the right questions that everybody wants to know.

 Next week we are attending CLIPA con in Nashville and I will be a speaker at that event. If you plan to attend please come see me, and introduce yourself. If we’re not friends already we really should be. 

I also intend to speak with a few of the vendors and speakers at clipa con for future episodes of the podcast so if there’s anybody in particular in the lineup that you want to hear from please let me know and I will do my best to grab them for an interview. 

I will always post the latest episode in the various Facebook groups, but for notifications on the latest shows you should save and follow us where ever you listen to podcasts. The show will be available on all major podcasting sites including Apple podcasts, Spotify and Amazon music podcasts.
