Top Thanksgiving T-Shirt Design Niche Research For 2023
About this video
[Summarized from the Bengali-language transcript] The creator shares Thanksgiving t-shirt niche research for 2023, warning viewers not to copy the designs shown but to use them for inspiration to find a small niche with traffic and sales. Using Merch Informer — Product Research and Merch Archive — he looks back to about a week before Thanksgiving on November 23, 2023 (starting around November 16) to see last year’s best sellers, arguing that designs trending every year will likely sell again. He reviews examples and their all-time BSR trends: retro ‘Time to Get Basted’ turkey holding beers, ‘I like it moist,’ a food-list parody ‘Turkey, Gravy, Beans and Rolls / Let me see that cash roll,’ monster truck turkey for kids, ‘Make Thanksgiving Great Again,’ dabbing turkeys, Turkeysaurus Rex, pumpkin pie in a Pac-Man-like concept, peace-sign turkey hand, Thanksgiving gnomes, ‘Happy Turkey Day’ and Friendsgiving, ‘Gobble Til You Wobble,’ couples matching ‘She’s My Sweet Potato / I Yam,’ Bigfoot pilgrim, ‘Pour Some Gravy On Me,’ and ‘Turkey and Touchdown.’ He notes low-price-then-raise pricing, matching family/couples shirts selling multiple units, and cross-niche ideas like Thanksgiving football and pickleball.
Key takeaways
- Use Merch Informer’s Merch Archive around the prior year’s holiday — e.g. from about a week before November 23 for Thanksgiving 2023 — to find designs that sell year after year.
- Validate ideas with all-time BSR: a BSR falling in September/October and repeating annually signals seasonal demand; lower BSR means more sales.
- Cross Thanksgiving with another niche — monster truck, dabbing, T-Rex/dinosaur, Bigfoot, gnomes, football/touchdown, or a cat-disguised turkey (‘Meow, I’m a cat’) — especially for kids, families, and couples.
- Matching designs drive multiple purchases: couples shirts like ‘She’s My Sweet Potato / I Yam’ and family Thanksgiving shirts can sell two to five shirts in one order.
- Watch pricing patterns in the examples: sellers often start low (around $13.38 in several examples) to gain sales velocity and ranking, then raise price as the holiday approaches — and avoid brand confusion/copyright copying when adapting concepts like the pumpkin-pie/Pac-Man-like idea.
