As the nation prepares to celebrate the anniversary of Independence Day, we started thinking about some 4th of July traditions and how they can help inspire creative content marketing. Luckily for us, we didn’t have to look far to find some stellar press release examples. Here are 4 Fun 4th of July Press Releases (try saying that four times fast) that will get you seeing red, white and blue.

1. People Love Traditions
Fun Fact: It wouldn’t be a proper 4th of July celebration without a good, old-fashioned parade.
America’s oldest 4th of July parade takes place in Bristol, Rhode Island…and Uncle Sam better
be there.
Get Inspired: While Criminal Attorney Locke T. Cliffford goes the extra mile by actually
dressing up as Uncles Sam at Greensboro’s annual Fun Fourth Festival, your business doesn’t
necessarily have to go to wardrobe to tap into traditions and create a stronger bond with your
community.

2. Images Can Be Explosive…Especially Fireworks
Fun Fact: The American Pyrotechnics Association (APA) predicts that more than 14,000
official fireworks displays light up the skies each 4th of July.
Get Inspired: It’s a great reminder that powerful visuals can capture an audience’s
attention. What visual elements can you incorporate in your press release?

3. Unite the Family
Fun Fact: Launching fireworks at home is a growing tradition. In 2011, approximately 212 million
pounds of fireworks were sold to consumers who wanted to create their pyrotechnic display.
Get Inspired: A golf club AND family fun? While they may not be synonymous terms yet, the Tubac
Golf Resort & Spa might change your mind. Seeing an opportunity to create an experience for the
whole family this 4th of July, they issued a visual press release to highlight their 4h of July
celebration.

4. Hot Dog! This Headline Stands Out
Fun Fact: Not one to celebrate on an empty stomach, Americans eat a whopping
150 million hot dogs every 4th of July.
Get Inspired: A good headline can pull the reader in and, by clearly conveying the
release’s key message, it should make the rest of the information easier to digest
(pardon the pun). Does your headline stand above the rest?
