1. Facebook Patriotic Photo Contest
Get your followers in on the fun! Use your Facebook page to host a contest for the best patriotic photo. Have your followers post to your page and offer that the winner gets a free product or service from your business. Utilize hash tags for your contest to help promote it. Not only will this contest drive people to your page, it will drive them into our business. And, who doesn’t love an easy contest in which you can win something!
2. Treats and Giveaways!
Is your business open on the 4th? Offer patriotic treats for people to snack on or to take with them when they go. Want to stay away from food? Balloons always work. Especially if you cater to parents and kids! You should not forget to promote your treats and giveaways on your social media platforms.
3. Sidewalk Sale
Personally, my eyes light up when I see a sidewalk sale this time of year. My husband isn’t a fan of my child-like wonder, but I sure am! Sunny weather + a good sale is always a good way to drive people to your business.
4. Cook Out
Does your business not have products conducive for a sidewalk sale? One word…barbeque. Set up a barbeque outside your 
location to cater to a whole new group of people. Lure them in with the intoxicating smells of a grill. You’ll be able to chat with people about what your business does and reach out and connect with those in your community. And of course, promo like crazy on your social media sites.
5. Participate
Speaking of community, get your business involved in local events. If your town is having a parade, sponsor a float or actually ride on a float! Set up a booth at community events or even bring your barbeque to community events and give out free hot dogs. Get involved. People will be more inclined to learn more about your business when you show that you are involved in your community.
6. Price Cuts
Have a fun sale with a price cut to 17.76. It’s a fun and simple way to have a sale with a nod to the birth of our nation.
7. Acknowledge on Social Media
Don’t forget to acknowledge the holiday on your social media pages. Make sure you wish your followers a happy 4th of July and interact with them to see what they’ve got planned. This is so important to note: make sure that you also promote any and all 4th of July events that you will be participating in!!
