Perhaps because it falls right near the middle of summer, the 4th of July (Independence Day) is a great patriotic celebration. Compared to other countries, where it can be a more somber affair, the American Independence Day is a time for fun, sun, barbecues and cocktails.
However, it isn’t always necessary to use patriotic themes (US flag, historical figures, etc.). Instead, you can focus on the fun aspect and make sure the products you’re selling are aimed at helping people have a great time for their Independence Day celebrations.

4th of July email examples
If you’re on the lookout for not only high-converting Independence Day subject lines, but also email inspiration, look no further.
Check out some of the best 4th of July email examples we’ve seen.
BOA
BOA’s 4th of July email is bold yet stylishly straightforward. It highlights only one product, with colors emphasizing the holiday, plus some of their other popular products.
Notice they don’t mention the 4th of July or Independence Day, yet it’s crystal clear what holiday they’re celebrating.
Koa
Our next 4th of July email, from KOA, really hits the nail on the head with festive images of friends and family grilling together on a perfect summer evening. Two great CTAs: one two book now (essentially a sales CTA),a nd another is a CTA leading to educational content for party food ideas.
Rifle Paper Co.
In contrast to the traditional and bold red-white-and-blue of the above Independence Day email examples, this email from Rifle Paper Co. celebrates American history with calmer pastel colors that still invoke the feeling of summer.
What’s great is that they added a nice discount (up to 20% off); what’s not so great is that the CTA button is pretty underwhelming (it’s near the bottom). May have worked better to switch the colors (peach as the background and white as the button font).
Cotton Bureau
This t-shirt company went with a strong (though simple) image, plus some personality-laden text. They’ve also decided to include nearly 15 t-shirts related to the US or specifically Independence Day.
