Print On Demand Trending Niche Research: Hot Patterns

About this video

Martinez demonstrates his trending-niche research method on MerchResearch.com (powered by Merch Informer): filter to US t-shirts, sort by newest arrivals on Amazon Merch on Demand, then look for patterns — multiple new listings on the same theme that already have a BSR and sales. He explains that a falling BSR signals sales velocity. Patterns he spots include several ‘Stand with PRRD’ Philippines shirts referencing the former Philippine president, a simple funny bald-themed text design that sold on consecutive days, ‘I Stand With Canada’ and ‘Elbows Up / Canada Strong’ political statement shirts, and Jackie and Shadow bald eagle shirts tied to news coverage of the eagles and their chicks. He warns repeatedly about trademark and copyright risk — citing ‘Gulf of America’ as trademarked and advising against workarounds, and suggesting Google and USPTO checks — and notes platforms can remove risky designs. He also shows feeding a selling design’s image to ChatGPT to generate five similar funny phrases (e.g. variations on losing hair) to create original angles, and stresses repeating this newest-arrivals scan every few days to get ahead of competition.

Key takeaways

• Research method: MerchResearch/Merch Informer, US t-shirts, sort by newest arrivals, then hunt for repeated themes with a BSR
• A falling BSR indicates sales velocity; multiple new listings on one theme is the pattern that signals a hot niche
• Examples found include Philippines PRRD shirts, Canada statement shirts, Jackie and Shadow bald eagles, and a simple bald-humor text design
• Use ChatGPT on a proven concept to brainstorm five-plus original similar phrases instead of copying the selling design
• Check Google and the USPTO for trademarks/copyrights and avoid workarounds for trademarked phrases, since platforms can take designs down
