Earn More Money on PI Day T Shirt Design | Merch by Amazon Print on Demand Niche Research 2022
About this video
The creator does a worked Pi Day example for Merch by Amazon, explaining how he researched the niche, created a design, and would list it. He establishes Pi Day is March 14th (3.14), a mathematics celebration, and searches images and Amazon for inspiration. Using Amazon’s search bar with the AMZ Suggested Expander, he notes autocomplete phrases such as ‘happy pi day,’ Pi Day shirts for women, kids and especially teachers, and Pi Day gifts, to identify who to target and which long-tail keywords customers use. In Merch Informer product search he reviews existing Pi Day 2022 designs, including a pi symbol with a mask, rainbow-style designs he describes as trending across niches, a dabbing chicken pot pie, retro number designs, and puns like ’love is like pi’ and a pirate-themed ‘happy pi day,’ arguing creative, funny mixing of a holiday with another idea can drive a sale. He also runs a Helium 10 Cerebro reverse ASIN search on a top seller to see search volume, trends and competing products, noting volume rising ahead of the day. His own design is ‘Happy Pi Day’ with a cherry pie illustration, made in white text and all-black text versions for different products. For the listing he puts the main long-tail keyword at the start of the title, followed by teacher, pi 3.14, math and audience terms, keeps bullet points simple, and says he focuses energy on keyword research, brand, title and design fit rather than the product description. He says he will run ads to the design, and closes by warning not all designs sell, often because of poor keywords or a design that is too small.
Key takeaways
- Use Amazon autocomplete to uncover buyer language and audiences for Pi Day, such as teachers, women, kids and math buyers
- Study existing Pi Day designs in Merch Informer and borrow the mechanism, such as mixing a trending style or pun with the holiday, without copying
- Check a top seller with Helium 10 Cerebro to see search volume, monthly trend and competing products before committing
- Build the listing around the main long-tail keyword in the title, then brand and bullet points, with keyword research and design fit as the priority
- Expect some designs not to sell; diagnose honest causes like weak keywords or a design that is too small instead of getting discouraged
