Easy & Simple Research Secrets for Selling T-Shirts Like a Pro! #32

About this video

Martinez walks through research examples he found, explaining how he judges them by BSR history and consistency. First is a space astronaut cat design, apparently with cross-stitch styling, uploaded that year and making consistent sales; he notes the seller lowered the price heading into July, which he says can boost sales velocity, reviews, and algorithm traction into Q4. Next is ‘from fur mama to baby mama EST 2023’ — he says a trademark check suggested ‘baby mama’ together is trademarked, and suggests safer variations spinning the progression to mom, grandma, great-grandma, or a dad version. Next is an upside-down pineapple pocket design, which he identifies as a swinger niche, saying it made its first sale April 18th and picked up in June, and advising viewers unfamiliar with it to research what it means. Next is a retro design with a floppy disk, cassette tape, and VHS tape, which he says is making about 5-10 sales a day by his reading of the data; he notes the large, colorful design fills the Amazon thumbnail, which helps phone shoppers see and click it. He then shows Merch Informer’s Movers and Shakers — his stated tool, with an affiliate link in the description — scrolling examples including Jamaica family trip 2023, a handyman shirt, back-to-school, granddaughter/grandpa, farmer, tacos spelled with science elements, and pumpkin patch. His closing advice is to get about 90 days ahead for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, cross-niche ideas, and design now even for next year.

Key takeaways

  • Judge a niche by its BSR history: a design that turns into a consistent seller is more valuable than a one-off spike
  • Cross-niching two interests — e.g. cats plus space/astronaut — and filling the thumbnail design space can help clicks, especially on phones
  • Check trademarks on phrases before using them, as he warns ‘baby mama’ appears trademarked, and spin the concept into safer variations
  • Use Merch Informer’s Movers and Shakers to surface multiple niche ideas quickly, from family trips to handyman to back-to-school
  • Design roughly 90 days ahead for major holidays and cross-niche current finds into Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas versions
