# Revolutionary Spending Infographics This Fourth of July Infographic Looks at the Revolution's Cost By M | Published 2014-07-03 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourth-of-july-infographic References: [visual.ly](http://visual.ly/bbqs-and-brits-annual-4th-july-spending-vs-costs-revolution) & [moneysideoflife](http://www.moneysideoflife.com/) This Fourth of July infographic by MoneySideofLife.com compares the costs of the American revolution to the average cost America spends annually on Independence Day celebrations. The ‘BBQ and Brits’ infographic cleverly looks into how much the total American revolution costed in order to compare that sum to how much Americans spend on average to celebrate the national holiday. According to the infographic, the total revolutionary war costs amount to $2.6 million dollars including the [adjusted inflation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moneylighter). On average, Americans spend roughly $6.7 million dollars on [fireworks and food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firework-frappuccino) to commemorate the American win against the British. That’s roughly 2.7 times more money spent on [hamburgers, hot dogs, beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stars-stripes-sweetness-collection) and firecrackers than spent on beating the British! Somehow that isn’t all that hard to believe. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Infographics:** Create interactive infographics that compare historical events to current trends for engaging storytelling. - **Cost Comparison:** Develop tools that analyze historical costs and compare them to present-day spending to provide meaningful insights. - **Holiday Expenditure:** Explore the economics of holidays to understand spending patterns and consumer behavior for targeted marketing strategies. ### Where This Applies - **Data Visualization:** Leverage the power of data visualization technology to create visually appealing and informative infographics. - **Finance:** Employ financial analysis tools to compare historical costs with current spending trends for better financial planning and decision-making. - **Marketing:** Utilize consumer spending data on holidays to create targeted marketing campaigns and optimize return on investment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Patriotic BBQ Offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dickeys-barbecue-pit-1.md) - [Summertime Americana Chip Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pringles-fourth-of-july.md) - [Independence Day Barbecue Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dickeys-barbecue-pit-fourth-of-july.md) - [Celebratory Americana Hotdogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-american-hot-dog.md) - [Independence Day Donut Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-spangled-sweetness-collection.md) - [Indulgent Independence Day Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinkbox-doughnuts-fourth-of-july.md) - [Limited-Edition Firework-Covered Foils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-foil.md) - [Colorful Independence Day Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-white-bbq-menu.md) - [Patriotic Americana Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-stars-and-stripes-dozen.md)
