Fourth of July subject lines to spark your customers’ interest

Between celebrating America, throwing barbecues and watching fireworks, there’s much to love about the Fourth of July. For small business owners, the holiday is also an excellent opportunity to generate sales.

While 27 percent of Fourth of July shoppers plan to purchase patriotic merchandise, you don’t have to sell star-spangled products to capitalize on this major consumer holiday. Your audience is looking for July 4th-themed sales. In 2018, consumers planned to spend an average of $75.35 on the Fourth of July. Do you operate a local grocery store, run a catering service or sell food and drinks? It’s especially important for you to reach out to potential customers. Last year, Independence Day food sales were projected to hit a staggering $6.9 billion.

Make sure you’re ready for those shoppers with seasonal emails that capture their attention. Be part of their long weekend by celebrating with subject lines full of summer spirit. Check out 20 of our favorites for a spark of inspiration:
