2021 proved to be a challenging year for consumer fireworks. After an up and down 2020 many thought that 2021 would be better for the industry. It turns out that wasn’t quite the case. Supply chain issues caused product availability to be limited. Shipping costs rose well beyond expectations, to the point of being almost double 2020.
What does this mean for consumer fireworks going forward? Well, for wholesalers/suppliers, it means we need to be smarter. Orders placed sooner. Increase in industry contacts. Expand product offerings.
So what is Liberty Bell Fireworks doing to ensure there is enough product for our wholesale customers as well as our retail store? We have already begun placing our order for 2022. Our RGS Brand Fireworks offerings will include all the fan favorites such as the Black Widow, Evolution of Fire, and Rainin Gold but will also have the latest in fountains, cakes and shells. And after the number of great contacts we met at the National Fireworks Association convention there will be an even greater lineup of new and exciting products.
We will continue to provide information about industry changes and product availability. In the meantime, we still have some great items for your family celebrations and New Year’s events!
