Top 5 Print On Demand T Shirt Niche Research Ideas 2022 Merch By Amazon #15

About this video

Martinez walks through five print-on-demand niche ideas using Merch Informer product research and trademark checks. (1) ‘Hello Summer’ / last day of school: goodbye-grade/hello-summer shirts for kids leaving school, scalable across third through eighth grade, plus retro beach, palm-tree and sunset summer designs and teacher versions like ‘School’s Out for Summer.’ (2) Nurse: ‘My favorite nurse calls me mom/dad,’ ‘Sorry can’t, nursing school,’ and graduation/RN designs — he stresses nurses are passionate, hearts and syringes recur, and the niche can be mixed with holidays (Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas) and other medical roles. (3) Pregnancy: ‘Mama Mango’/‘Mamacado’ fruit-with-seed concepts, and simple text designs like ‘We are pregnant’ that he says sell steadily, with funny/cute announcement sayings and dad-joke angles. (4) Retirement: logo-style designs such as ‘I’m not retired, I’m a full-time papa,’ ‘I’m retired, every hour is happy hour,’ and ‘The legend has retired’ with the year added; he warns never to put alcohol designs on youth shirts because they get rejected. (5) Lemon/lemonade: an evergreen summer niche including ‘You are my main squeeze,’ ‘Easy peasy lemon squeezy’ and ‘Lemonade crew’ group designs. He repeatedly advises checking trademarks with Merch Informer’s tool before designing, reading listing keywords to see who is being targeted, and considering outsourcing illustration ($20-$200, he says) as a long-lived asset.

Key takeaways

• Scale one proven saying across variants: grades for hello-summer, mom/dad for nurse shirts, drinks for retirement happy-hour designs
• Mix a big passionate niche (nurses, pregnancy, retirement) with holidays or another niche to stand out in competitive categories
• Always run a trademark check — he uses Merch Informer’s Merch by Amazon trademark tool — before designing
• Listing keywords reveal the target buyer and can suggest spin-offs, including turning a design idea into a KDP book
• Simple text-based designs in white (and a black version for white shirts) can be consistent sellers without complex art
