5 Explosive T-Shirt Niches to Skyrocket Your Q4 2024 Profits

About this video

RJ Martinez, who says he has done print on demand for about 8 years, presents five low-competition Q4 t-shirt ideas found with Merch Informer, and promotes his Top Research Design Vault (240-plus niches, updated weekly rather than monthly, $10 a month in his telling, with 50 to 100 Halloween ideas planned). The ideas: (1) a dabbing astronaut cowboy for Halloween — a design with no real Halloween theme that leverages the Halloween keyword in the title/brand for traffic, first sold in August 2023 and still selling in January, March and April, with 236 search results for the phrase he checked; (2) the sarcastic ‘I don’t do matching Christmas outfits,’ aimed at people who resist the popular matching-outfit trend, first sold October 2023, 164 results; (3) ‘She likes my drumstick,’ a funny Thanksgiving food saying, 447 results, which he expects to do well going into November; (4) a farting skeleton ‘bull fart / Boo Fart’ Halloween design that made its first sales only days earlier and had already made several sales, 260 results; and (5) a police uniform costume Halloween shirt for kids, which turned into an evergreen seller, 142 results. He explains his Merch Hunter method — exclude brands, keep reviews around 10, check all-time sales and BSR (a dropping BSR means sales) — notes Amazon now allows more than 10 shirt colors, and repeatedly warns to check trademarks and copyrights.

Key takeaways

• Leverage a seasonal keyword like Halloween in the title/brand even when the design itself is evergreen, to gain sales velocity
• Target the contrarian angle on a trend: ‘I don’t do matching Christmas outfits’ sells to people who dislike matching outfits
• Funny food sayings for Thanksgiving, such as ‘she likes my drumstick,’ are presented as money-making designs because they make passers-by smile
• A brand-new design that has already made several sales in its first days is a signal it may perform well into its holiday
• Use Merch Informer’s Merch Hunter with brands excluded and low review counts, and verify demand via all-time sales and a dropping BSR; always double-check trademarks and copyrights
