Top 5 HOT Seasonal T-Shirt Niches DOMINATING 2025

About this video

Post-Fourth of July, RJ Martinez argues sellers should upload seasonal designs that do not rely on one-day spikes during peak summer shopping. He states he has done print-on-demand for over 8 years and, as his claim, has sold over $400,000 in royalties and over 100,000 products, mostly through Amazon Merch, and sells on Amazon Merch, Etsy, Redbubble and his own store. His weekly method uses tools like Merch Informer, Amazon Autocomplete and low-review product research, then checks trademark safety and demand via BSR sales rank consistency over the last 30 days. The five niches: 1) Foxglove Daisy Tulip Floral, a simple floral layout; the example he shows has 4.5 out of 5 with 14 ratings, 50 bought in the past month, consistent BSR and 141 results for the phrase. 2) Ice Cream Crew, groups of cones and scoops; he suggests filling gaps like push pops and triple scoops, the ice cream cone summer example has 127 results for a related phrase and consistent sales. 3) Red, White and Pizza for Fourth of July, with 185 results and a BSR of 857 for one example uploaded May 5th; he asks how to extend the proven concept to Halloween, Labor Day or barbecue/grilling instead of pizza. 4) Never Underestimate a Man / Old Man with a DD214, a military niche priced at $17.95 in the example, with 554 results; he stresses double-checking trademarks and copyrights. 5) Chill the Fourth Out, a woman in a martini glass with an American flag hat, with 332 results; he warns about a Cowboys / NFL-like star, stresses shirt color choices so the full design is visible, and suggests adapting it to ‘back to school and chill’ for teachers. Throughout he shows Ideogram prompts, notes AI does about 80 percent of the work with human editing still needed, and pitches his Top Research Design Vault at $10 a month for weekly niches, keywords and prompt suggestions.
