Top Selling T Shirt For Thanksgiving | Merch By Amazon | Sold Over 150 Times

About this video

The creator showcases his top-selling Thanksgiving Merch by Amazon shirt — a very simple text design reading ‘gobble.’ — which he is wearing in the video. He reports 155 sales with 5 returns: 136 men’s shirts, 14 women’s and 5 kids’, with black the best-selling colour. Uploaded September 19, 2018, it earned $346 in royalties. His strategy was to launch at $12.87 to get initial sales and organic ranking, leave it there for roughly 20-30 sales, then raise the price to $14.99 and higher as Thanksgiving approached. He stresses getting an organic sale first before advertising, then using Amazon Advertising to boost organic rank: he spent $42.96 on ads that generated $177 in sales, leaving roughly $300 profit, tracked with Pretty Merch because he does not fully trust Amazon’s tracking. His recap emphasizes that brand and title are two of the most important elements after the design — the brand should look professional and the title should contain the main keywords he wants to rank for, rather than keywords that will not rank.

Key takeaways

• A minimal text design (‘gobble.’) outsold shirts he spent more research and work on, selling 155 times for $346 in royalties.
• Price ladder strategy: start at $12.87 to initiate sales and organic ranking, then raise to $14.99 and higher as the holiday nears.
• Get an organic sale first, then run Amazon ads to boost organic ranking — he spent $42.96 to generate $177 in ad-attributed sales.
• Make the brand look professional and build the title around the main keywords you want to rank for; many beginners write titles that cannot rank.
• Upload seasonal designs ahead of time — this Thanksgiving shirt was uploaded September 19, 2018 — and use a tool like Pretty Merch to track sales alongside Amazon Advertising.
