And, as brick-and-mortar retailers use Twitter to remind followers that they'll be closed in celebration of the national holiday, online sites are hoping consumers buy online during special Independence Day sales events. Beauty and lifestyle samples purveyor Birchbox aims to build its Facebook likes by promising a one-day July 4 sale if the firm reaches 150,000 likes. It currently has around 146,000.
