10 Etsy Niches You Can Still Rank For (Low Competition & Seasonal POD Ideas for 2025)

About this video

Martinez presents Etsy niche ideas for print on demand, saying they are based on real EverBee data — low-competition listings with strong sales, engagement and seasonal keywords — so sellers can upload ahead of holidays before competitors pile in. Recurring plays include: coquette bows applied to Christmas, then extended to Halloween and Thanksgiving, and into sellers’ own hobbies; ‘silly goose’ / goose-lover designs, including goose mixed with holidays, professions such as nursing/CNA, and phrases like ‘silly goose on the loose’; Christmas in July (beach/Santa mashups with watermelon, pineapple, flamingos and surfboards); cats in many forms — a rock cat playing guitar (extendable to other instruments, dogs and breeds), selfie cats with UFOs, Japanese-style ‘Catzilla,’ and funny ramen cats (extendable to other animals and breeds at a ramen bowl/bar); baseball drip designs, adaptable from patriotic versions to Halloween jack-o’-lantern baseballs; funny black bird/crow designs tied to dark humour; ’take me to the pumpkin patch’; ‘just waiting for Halloween’ and ‘Summerween’ summer–Halloween mashups; and cowboy-style lollygagging frogs. Throughout he warns to double-check trademarks and copyright — no Disney characters or movie names like Hocus Pocus without rights — notes digital downloads/PNGs also sell well in several of these niches, and advises listing the same concept on multiple platforms since a design may do better on Etsy than Amazon Merch or vice versa.

Key takeaways

• Use EverBee-style data — sales, conversion rates, listing age and low competition — rather than guessing, and upload seasonal designs months ahead of the holiday.
• Extend one proven concept across holidays and sub-niches: e.g. coquette bows or the silly goose moved into Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving and specific hobbies or jobs.
• Mash up opposites for fresh angles: Christmas in July and Summerween combine summer imagery (beach, watermelon, inner tubes) with Santa, pumpkins and skeletons.
• Swap the subject to multiply a niche: rock/selfie/ramen concepts work across cats, dog breeds, raccoons, Bigfoot and other animals or instruments.
• Always double-check trademark and copyright — avoid Disney, Godzilla likenesses and movie titles — and publish concepts on multiple platforms, including as digital downloads where that format is selling.
