Independence Day, or July 4th, is a huge celebration in the United States. This holiday marks the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, an important event that lead to the development of the United States of America. Many Americans celebrate July 4th with parades, barbecues, and fireworks. It’s also a special day for people to showcase their patriotism and love for Old Glory (the U.S. flag).
Sellers can prepare for July 4th by creating products inspired by U.S. patriotism and designs featuring red, white, and blue. Check out some of our top selling summer products and learn how to create custom product collections shoppers will love.
Top selling products + combos
Independence Day is celebrated in July, one of the hottest months of summer! This means you should consider creating products designed to keep people cool when the weather heats up. Our recommendations include:
- Tees + tank tops: in regions that experience heat spells, tank tops will be especially popular.
- Beach towels: residents on the coast often head to the beach for the 4th of July.
- Tote bags or duffles: with so many events to choose from, design a carry-all for buyers’ things.
- Leggings: a comfy favorite and easy to combine with matching a matching top.
A popular theme we’re seeing on Teespring is product collections and bundles to increase cart size. Sellers offer multiple products within a listing featuring the same design theme. This helps to increase order size because buyers purchase more products so they’ll have a matching set. You’ve got tons of options available in the Teespring Launcher and once you’ve unlocked our new specialty products there’s even more to create!
- Swimsuits + towels
- Sports bras, tank tops, or crop tops + leggings
- Tote bags + hats
- Blankets + sweatshirts
Design inspiration
4th of July design trends don’t change much year to year. Anything that focuses on patriotism, service in the armed forces, American pride, or the stars and stripes is a safe bet. Don’t forget to incorporate lots of red, white, and blue too!
- Popular sayings: sellers can add easily recognizable phrases to their designs to signify patriotism. Try taking lines from the Constitution, National Anthem, or Declaration of Independence to start.
- State shapes: something very trendy at the moment (not just for July 4th) is patterns that incorporate states. State pride is just as popular as national pride in the U.S.
- Military/Veterans: the veteran and military niches are very active on Teespring and have a loyal following. Please make sure to keep your designs respectful and in line with IP law.
- Dates: why not incorporate the actual date into your designs? July 4, 1776 is when America was “founded.”
