9 Niche T-Shirt Design Ideas That Will Sell in Q4 2023 #37

About this video

Number 37 in the series, using Merch Informer and Amazon.com to find demand for Q4 2023. The nine ideas are: (1) cottagecore cats — a black cat with a mushroom, which he says looks like an AI design and is a consistent seller; cottagecore is explained as a rural / country / farm aesthetic. (2) Breast cancer awareness cross-niched with Halloween for October, e.g. a ghost with pink spiderwebs and a ‘boo sheet’ pun, uploaded that month and starting to sell. (3) ‘Let’s cuddle and watch horror movies’ for couples and horror fans going into Halloween. (4) A funny social media meme, ’tickers gonna talk,’ a spin he discusses as not actually saying TikTok; he notes the listing was uploaded June 12, 2021 at a 919k BSR, says he personally would not test it on his own Amazon account, and warns about keywords causing rejections. (5) Kids’ Halloween construction vehicles with bats, eyeballs, witch hats and jack-o’-lanterns, uploaded only to youth sizes, with BSR dropping to around 36k-37k; he estimates it was probably making over 10 sales a day closer to Halloween. (6) ‘Chance of sarcasm’ as a weather forecast with percentages 91%, 95%, 99% and 94%, a large design filling the thumbnail, first sold in 2019 and now surging. (7) Support squad gnomes for breast cancer, showing 700 plus bought in the past month and uploaded July 2023, with gnomes suggested for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year and underserved Hanukkah. (8) ‘Don’t scare me, I poop easily,’ uploaded September 25, as a funny evergreen Halloween saying. (9) ‘Lift small, bunt the ball,’ a simple vintage text baseball design whose first sale was in August 2023, timed to MLB playoffs.

Key takeaways

  • Cross-niching two October events — breast cancer awareness month and Halloween — produced newer designs that were already starting to sell in the research shown
  • Cottagecore cats, including a black cat and mushroom design he identifies as AI-made, are presented as a consistent seller in an internet aesthetic niche
  • Large designs that fill the whole thumbnail space, like the ‘chance of sarcasm’ weather forecast, are highlighted because they are easy to see and click while scrolling
  • Kids’ Halloween construction, sold only in youth sizes, shows the value of matching the product format tightly to the target audience
  • Funny, simple text sayings for Halloween and sports — such as ‘don’t scare me, I poop easily’ and ’lift small, bunt the ball’ — are framed as reusable evergreen sellers, while near-brand meme spins like ’tickers gonna talk’ carry account risk
