Top Print On Demand Niche Research T-Shirt Design Ideas #4 (Merch By Amazon & Redbubble)
About this video
RJ Martinez presents five more print-on-demand niche ideas in his research series, urging viewers to be different from competitors rather than copy designs. First is Doberman dogs: retro and American flag designs, ‘Doberman Dad/Mom’ angles, ‘best friends for life’ and loyal-dog sayings, with a reminder to trademark-check phrases using Merch Informer. Second is pineapple: pineapple-on-pizza lovers vs. haters, Hawaii, fitness, Christmas trees made of pineapples, and dabbing pineapple designs, noting how Disney mixes pineapple with trends for inspiration without copying. Third is jet skiing, a summer niche built on sayings like ’eat sleep jet ski repeat,’ ‘I do my own stunts,’ and ‘money can’t buy happiness but it can buy a jet ski,’ with large designs that fill the shirt to improve click-through. Fourth is Pi / Pi Day (3.14, March 14), which he says turned from a trend into an evergreen math niche with wordplay like chicken pot pie, pizza pie, and cutie pie. Fifth is geometry/math: ‘I’m a math teacher, of course I have problems,’ dad-angle / ‘I’m right,’ ‘geometry keeps you in shape,’ cute angle jokes, and mixing geometry with Christmas.
Key takeaways
- Differentiate within a niche instead of copying: apply a trending saying or style from one niche to a sub-niche like Doberman dogs
- Always trademark-check phrases such as ‘Doberman Dad’ yourself, even when a research video shares the idea
- Cross-niche mashups drive ideas: dabbing, retro, American flag, and holidays like Christmas can be applied across dog, pineapple, and other niches
- Designs that take up the whole shirt space can help click-through rate on Amazon, as illustrated in the jet ski niche
- Trend niches like Pi Day can become evergreen sellers when built around simple math symbols and puns like chicken pot pie and cutie pie
