Here are our recommendations to best utilize Priority Support:
  • Ensure that the computer for which your show will be run from has the sequencing software you will be using (xLights, LOR S5 or other supported application) installed
  • Phone Call Sessions
    • Ensure that you are on a reliable phone that is clear to understand
    • Refrain from using speaker phone where possible. Consider using a headset or other hands-free device.
    • Remove any distractions such as barking dogs, TV's, kids or other external sources of noise
    • Focus discussion on the specific technical task at hand. While we will happily listen to customer discussions of issues of heath, jobs, family members or what happened last night, the time for these non-task related discussions will still be reflected in the total time utilized.
    • Answer phone calls received from HolidayCoro. This is a very common problem as many people will not answer their phones.
      • Phone calls from HolidayCoro will originate from a number of: +1-832-500-3xxx and show the location "SUGARLAND, TX" or "HOLIDAYCORO" in caller ID
  • Remote Control Sessions
    • The computer with the installed sequencing software must be connected to the public internet
    • Ensure that you can open the remote control support page: https:/www.HolidayCoro.com/Remote

  • No refunds are provided on unused support time. If you are unsure if you will need Priority Support, make the purchase at the time you are in need of Priority Support.
  • Your support engineer will assess the issues and goals for the call and will confirm those goals and a defined set of criteria that will be met when those goals have been met. It is possible that based upon the customer provided goals that the purchased time will not be sufficient, in those cases, either additional time will need to be purchased or the goals of the support session will need to be reduced to fit within the support time purchased.

    • Efforts to contact customer (emails, voice mail, multiple phone calls)
    • Waiting for customer to install software

5 of 5 Dominic's Assistance February 4, 2024
Reviewer: Dante Cacal from WAIPAHU, HI United States  
Dominic did an outstanding job assisting me with my light show.  He was patient and understood what needed to be done with my light show's issue connectivity and settings.  Thanks for the customer services in honoring my request to have Dominic assist me with my technical light show issues.

5 of 5 Support from Dominic December 4, 2023
Reviewer: Kenneth Burstall from The Villages, FL United States  
As expected he did an excellent job of educating and pointing me in the right direction to learn. I ended up digging myself a deep hole, jumped in and could not get out. He immediately saw the issue and explained how to correct it. I then did the work while he watch and everything is working excellently.

Because of him there will be 4 other houses on the block putting up light shows

5 of 5 18 foot Mega Tree Kit and 6 layer star January 4, 2023
Reviewer: David Forney from Tucson, AZ United States  
I measure the quality of a company’s customer service not by their pleasantries but how they handle problems. HolidayCoro has demonstrated three times they handle issues with professionalism, efficiency and courtesy. This is the most outstanding company I have delt with in decades. I give it six stars!!!!! I will soon be ordering more!
