5 Low Competition Print On Demand Niches You Need
About this video
The creator shares five low-competition niches found with Merch Informer and pitches his Top Research Design Vault, which he says has 700-plus researched niches, adds new ones weekly, and costs $10 a month. The niches are: (1) ‘These boots are made for teaching’ for back-to-school/western buyers — 86 Amazon results, with the example’s first sale on January 25, 2025, though he cautions about changing song-lyric-like wording enough, saying he would prefer switching 60-70%; (2) a cute lizard/reptile pocket design, which he says has sold consistently since 2024 and crushes in Q4, and which could be varied with a snake, bearded dragon, or chicken; (3) Mount Denali souvenir T-shirts — 144 results, example first sold January 24, 2025 — based on tourists searching online for souvenir shirts for places like San Diego, Las Vegas, New York, and Florida; (4) baseball ice-cream watercolor drip designs — 139 results, first sale in May 2024, timed for baseball season; and (5) ‘Shut your five hole’ hockey — 177 results, a design he says first sold in 2019 and has 4.7 stars from 520 ratings. He stresses consistent evergreen sellers over pure trends, says one pocket-design example has made over $1,000, and demonstrates Merch Informer’s Merch Hunter with reviews filtered to around 10 and brands excluded, while reminding viewers to check trademarks and copyright.
Key takeaways
- Target narrow, proven phrases with low result counts, e.g., 86 results for the teaching-boots concept and 144 for Mount Denali souvenirs
- Prioritize designs that sell consistently all year and spike in Q4 over short-lived trends alone
- Extend a winning pocket-animal concept by swapping the animal — lizard, snake, bearded dragon, or chicken
- Use souvenir/travel demand: buyers search Amazon for destination shirts before or after a trip
- Use Merch Hunter filters (low reviews, exclude brands) for ideas, but always check trademark and copyright before listing
