Independence Day is right around the corner! And if you’re looking for inspiration on how to launch your next marketing campaign with patriotic spirit, we’ve got you covered. This blog post will walk you through hot summer products and designs so that you can experiment before Independence Day comes around.

4th of July Holiday Statistics

According to the National Retail Federation, last year, 86% of Americans celebrated the holiday and $6.78 billion was spent in preparation for this day. Although Independence Day is not a traditionally gift-giving holiday, 26% said in the survey that they plan to purchase additional patriotic merchandise.
Different from usual shopping statistics, men are more likely to buy patriotic merchandise than women, and adults aged 18-44 have much higher percent purchasing plans.
What this means: People are ready to spend on the Fourth of July. Men aged 18-24 are most likely to plan to or might buy Fourth-related merchandise. Independence Day is also a good chance for ecommerce stores (yes it’s you!) to compete with brick and mortar stores and increase your sales.
And one thing is for sure, the sooner the better. Many people have already started looking for summer products. Independence Day deals usually begin as early as the third week of June right after Father’s Day. Right now is the perfect time to set up your marketing campaign.

What To Sell For This Holiday?

Independence Day is celebrated in July, which is the hottest month of summer! This means you should consider choosing products designed to help people keep cool all summer long. Check out what people are looking for and what’s selling hot this summer.

All Over Print Tank Tops & Tees

When it’s too damn hot outside, the most popular clothing item that can be found in many wardrobes is, without a doubt, a tank top. Say hello to an All-Over Front Print opportunity. Unlike normal tank tops, all-over front print tanks present you with a freedom to scale your business.

Beach Towels

There are never enough towels that one can bring to the beach. The main purpose of a towel is to put something in between the customer and the sand to avoid sand sticking to the body after getting out of the water. Towels are used for drying and can be used as a tool to hide from the burning sun.

Flip Flops + Hats

Flip flops are fashionable must-haves during the hot summer months. They are comfortable slip-ons that can be used at the beach, park, or at home. Together with hats they will be a great combo as essential as sunscreen and tank tops.

Travel mugs

Drinking during holidays is relatively standard activity. Beer is the typical drink of choice for the Independence Day celebration, more so than on any other holiday event. It is obvious that alcohol consumption increases during the holidays, therefore, don’t forget to add drinkware to your store.

Product Bundle Options

This marketing tool helps to sell more items in one encounter. For instance, combine two or more products to create greater value for the customer. Bundling is perceived to be less costly in comparison with an individual product. Put together an outfit of a day at a discounted price. In case the customer wants to purchase a single item from the bundle, have a single-purchase option available.

Beach Inspiration

Fourth of July brings fireworks, barbecue and beach crowds. Beach-goers consist of sunbathers, surfers, vendors, and people-watchers. They present a great opportunity to take your artwork and turn it into a profitable business. According to Travel + Leisure Venice Beach, Miami Beach, Coney Island are the most crowded beaches in America.
