Advantages and Disadvantages of Fireworks Assortment Packs

As the Fourth of July approaches, it’s time to shop for fireworks for your holiday get-together. Whether you’re planning a family backyard cookout, a neighborhood block party, or a huge corporate event, there’s a pre-packaged fireworks assortment for your needs and budget. They generally range in price from $15 to $700 and may include fireworks of all types or focus on one category of fireworks - for example, fountains or mortars.


At the Golf Ball Outlet & Fireworks Mega Store, we get a lot of customers asking if it’s better to buy an assortment pack or choose individualproducts “a la carte”. Both choices can give you a great fireworks experience - the answer really depends on your preferences and needs.

 

To help you decide if an assortment pack is right for you, we’ve compiled a brief list of advantages and disadvantages:

 

Advantages:

  

Assortments may be cheaper than if the same fireworks were bought separately.  For example, a $70 Assortment might contain fireworks that cost $90 if purchased separately.

  

An assortment can provide a variety of items. So, if you are new to Fireworks and haven’t developed your list of “likes” or “dislikes”, the assortment will provide an array of different products from which to choose.

 

Convenience. Buying an assortment should take far less time than buying the products individually.

 

 

Disadvantages:

 

The assortments are pre-packed and therefore most of the decision making eliminated. If you are the type of individual more inclined to controlling the process, an assortment may not be a good choice.

 

Assortments are often excluded from store specials. Many fireworks stores offer buy one/get one deals and larger purchase incentives. Most assortments will not fall into these categories.

 

In most assortments you will find some “filler” products. These are products which you will probably not purchase on your next fireworks buy.

 

 

Whether you’re interested in purchasing fireworks in an assortment pack or a la carte, our knowledgeable staff at the Golf Ball Outlet & Fireworks Mega Store can assist you.  Come by and let us help you plan the perfect 4th of July fireworks show!

Five reasons fireworks are the perfect family activity

With the Fourth of July and summer family barbeques fast approaching, consider organizing a family fireworks show to celebrate the season.  Everyone knows that fireworks are a lot of fun, but there are other reasons that fireworks are the perfect family activity:


1) Family Bonding

A family fireworks show is a great opportunity for parents and kids to spend time together, in person, without distractions. From planning the event to shopping together at your local fireworks store to enjoying the sight of fireworks shooting into the air, families can spend time together every step of the way.  There's no better way to spend a summer day!

 

2) Teamwork

Make your fireworks activity a team project for the whole family. Assigning roles to both kids and grown-ups based on their age and maturity level can make your fireworks display a valuable team-building experience for everyone. If the kids love fireworks but are a bit too young to handle them on their own, consider assigning responsibilities such as safety monitor or color expert.

 

3) Communication

In order to make your family event a success, all members of the team will need to communicate effectively.  Teaching your kids to communicate with other family members about roles and responsibilities, timing, safety precautions and other elements of the show will help them communicate effectively in other life situations.  Your kids will be equipped with communication skills that will serve them well as adults.

 

4) Teach Safety

The use of fireworks in your next family activity is another opportunity to teach all members of the family valuable safety lessons. Not only do parents get to exercise and reinforce their authority as the adults, but parents impart valuable knowledge to their children and other members of the family.  You can visit sites such as The National Council on Fireworks Safety (http://www.fireworksafety.com/) for important information on the safe and responsible use of fireworks.

 

5) Memories

There's a reason that even the happiest places on earth, Disneyworld and other amusement parks, use fireworks to seal a day of magic at their theme parks; fireworks are magical. You never know what color will explode across the sky or when a thunderous boom will fill the air. Fireworks are awe inspiring for children and adults alike.  Consider having a fireworks show at your next family event and create memories that will last a lifetime.
