- Phantom Fireworks stores and retailers across the nation are ready to support consumers seeking fireworks to celebrate the season - with extended store hours, in person shopping opportunities and additional staff to help fireworks buyers select the best products for their needs leading up to the holiday weekend
- This year’s Fourth of July, America’s holiday, promises to be especially celebratory as the nation continues its recovery from the pandemic
The nation’s top consumer fireworks retailer Phantom Fireworks, is urging everyone to use fireworks products safely and responsibly - especially as sales surge again this year.
Phantom Fireworks is an industry leader supporting fireworks safety measures and encourages customers to learn about products and how to use them safely prior to usage - especially for the higher number of first time users. As families and friends begin to gather in person once again this year, firework usage around the Fourth of July holiday is expected to increase - like it did last year.
Among key safety measures recommended https://fireworks.com/fireworks-safety, Phantom Fireworks urges that consumers:
Set up fireworks on hard, flat surfaces
- Have water readily available (bucket of water; hose, fire extinguisher)
- Keep plenty of distance between the launch site and spectators
- A sober adult should be in charge of the fireworks; children should not handle the products
- Consider weather conditions (including using a flashlight at night)
- Use safety gear (glasses and gloves) when lighting fireworks
- Keep pets inside during fireworks use (the noise can frighten animals)
“Safety is our top priority at Phantom Fireworks - particularly as more Americans are able to celebrate with family and friends this year as we recover from the pandemic,” said Bill Weimer, Vice President of Phantom Fireworks. “We expect more first-time fireworks users this season and it’s important to remember that fireworks and safety can go hand-in-hand. We encourage all amateur pyros to take the time to understand how to properly use our products.”
Last year’s consumer fireworks sales surged to record rates industry wide. Many communities had public fireworks displays postponed and canceled amid the height of the pandemic, which is one of the reasons consumer fireworks sales surged. Phantom Fireworks adapted to the 2020 pandemic surge by offering a variety of purchase options, expanded customer service and pandemic-friendly hours.
The 2021 season is also expected to bring higher sales for fireworks products - particularly as the nation’s leaders have designated this year’s holiday as the beginning point for the nation to “mark our independence” from the virus - citing the Fourth of July as the unofficial return to normal following the pandemic year. Because of the anticipated demand, Phantom Fireworks has been preparing for the season with additional store openings, early shopping incentives and updated inventory, even while supply chain challenges have emerged.
“Phantom Fireworks is excited to help Americans celebrate our nation’s favorite holiday - the Fourth of July, especially meaningful following the 2020 pandemic summer,” said Bruce J. Zoldan, Phantom CEO. “We are ready to help our nation move forward and heal from a difficult year - and to enjoy the summer with friends and family this year, safely and with Phantom products as we move towards a hopeful future.”
