Amazon Merch On Demand Tutorial - How to Create a Winning Happy HalloThanksmas Product

About this video

The creator walks through researching and creating a ‘Happy HalloThanksmas’ product for Amazon Merch by Amazon, a design concept that combines Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas in one shirt so it can sell across three holidays. Using Merch Informer / Merch Hunter product research, he searches the phrase, notes Amazon’s auto-populated keywords (including wine, coffee, gnomes, Santa hat and pumpkin), and opens existing listings to study their BSRs, which he says drop as Halloween approaches, and their details — for example gnome trios with a Halloween gnome holding candy corn, a Thanksgiving gnome with a pumpkin, and a Christmas gnome, plus owl, pug and flamingo versions. He also checks Etsy, pointing to add-to-cart counts as a demand signal, citing an example with 15 people adding an item to cart. He warns that ‘Thanksmas’ returned a live trademark registration for clothing in his USPTO check via a free Merch Research extension, so sellers risk takedowns despite many others using it. His design advice is to keep it simple and readable on a small screen, make it festive and detailed, not copy others, drive your own traffic via Facebook, TikTok, Instagram or YouTube if you lack Amazon Ads, and optimise the listing with keywords Amazon itself auto-suggests.

Key takeaways

• Research first with Merch Hunter and Amazon autocomplete — the suggested keywords reveal cross-niche ideas like wine, coffee and gnomes
• A HalloThanksmas design covers Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, with three holiday-themed characters or icons in one design
• Check BSR trends on Amazon and add-to-cart counts on Etsy as demand signals before designing
• Check trademarks before using the phrase — his search showed a live registration for ‘Thanksmas’ on clothing, creating takedown risk
• Keep designs simple, large and clean-lined for small screens, be original rather than copying, and drive your own traffic to get the first sale
