We tend to find that customers often prefer a large single ignition to a selection of small fireworks for a party but the burn time of the firework is a major consideration with most people wanting it to last for as long as possible without being boring and ones that last only for 20secs or so are no use to normal consumers unless they are planning a large display.

Ive had a few customers in my shop allready buying for the 4th july celebrations so it looks like their will be some decent pyro going off in the manchester area.

Only problem is they allways want jumpin jacks & spinners.

In Topic: Rocket pods

Hi

we tried them in our shop a few years ago but they were not a good seller so we have not botherd to get any in since.

A pack of rockets seems to offer better value to the customers rather than them being set off all at once.

I think Fireworks International had one a few years ago, and then other brands started bringing one or two into their range.

The "rocket pod" or silo is basically a group of rockets in one larger outer casing, which all fire either at the same time, or in very quick succession.

Its was suggested that they might the logical successor to the big, single rockets, but that doesn't seem to have happened really.

However, the traditional pack of 5, 7 , 10 rockets at the same price seems still to take precidence over the "one fuse" rocket pod.

Personally, I think its a good effect, and if it can be done cheap enough (ie at the same price point as rocket packs) then it looks cool.

However, like the big rockets, it is very short in duration- but somehow doesn't have the (as perceieved by the public) "wow factor" of a "really big" rocket.

That said, I like the idea, and I'm surprised more hasn't been made of it.
