In Phantom Fireworks, the large 500-gram recurrence seems to be “increase in demand” among consumers, Zoldon said, but said the company does not have all its data for the year.
According to the CEO of Phantom Fireworks, American “still regular Roman candles and parachutes and other favorite July 4 items, but they are beginning to go towards 500-gram.
Zoldon also said that people prefer to buy a variety of classifications with various fireworks “because it gives them a variety of small items, middle items and a large 500-gram cake.”
He said that the phantom classification could be as low as $ 99 and climb up to $ 1,500.
The company sells light items for children that “there is nothing with fuses or pyrotechnic powder” and with pet security-related products, and according to Zoldon, Phantom Fireworks “is seeing a lot of activity on those types this year”.

He said, “I am an importer, distributor, wholesaler across the country, so I import fireworks, and then I sell them from many warehouse places to those who sell to the general public, retailers,” they explained. “What I have seen this year, and what I am seeing now is that sales on the retail side have been very strong.”
Hausar said that he is getting a lot of customers, which they are called “comeback orders”, are circling them back to them to buy more fireworks.
He said, “We are doing those CPUs from 8 am to 5 or 6 pm in the night, and most of the customers I am seeing, all are coming back, all are smiling, so it seems that the sales are very strong,” they told Fox Business.
He, like Zoldon, fell on Friday on the fourth date of July.

“Secondly, retailers who are open this year, I think, are looking at a boon in sales because perhaps there are there, and I would say based on my experience, less real retailers this year compared to last year,” said Hausar.
He said that he has seen some “really little mother-and-pap shops” Tariff related price increase And the diversity of fireworks has an impact and instead save money by waiting for the 250th anniversary to open which will be celebrated on 4 July next year.
Hausar also shared information about what kind of fireworks his customers are asking for their “return orders”.
“Overall, it is large, because when these customers are returning to their return orders, most of those orders are centered around the pack of the family, family classification trays that have a complete bunch of goods in them, or large unique pieces.”
They are looking for small fireworks such as Roman candles and sparkler, according to Hausar, but “large” “comeback orders” are for big products.
