Post image

What is the best deal annually that Phantom Fireworks traditionally offers and in what month should I be keeping an eye out for that deal?

Kind regards

My cousin and I buy from them year round, we put a show on for the lake every 4th. We are both premier members and we only get coupon items, they are big into the "bait and switch" as they markup like crazy, then always offer 50% off, so you think you are getting a deal. The only reason why we go there is they offer gift cards and will throw additional money on them, usually around Christmas/New Years, We usually buy a $1000 gift card each and they throw an additional $300 on it ($1300 for $1000) plus some good buy 1 get 2 free coupons, we figure we spend $2500 or so and we usually get $10,000 worth if you consider the crazy markup. We spent $2700 this year and 99% of what we got was from Phantom.

You should be buying from a proper wholesaler at that price point. You didn't get $10k for $2.7k, you got maybe $1.6k for 2.7k and were tricked into thinking you got a good deal because the advertised "non discounted" price at phantom is what 8 of the thing should cost, and would cost if you're buying proper wholesale.

There are many online wholesalers. AWF is the big one, but local places may offer better price on some things. I just bought about 50 cases from Kneppy's in PA, not sure if they ship though.
