Top Trending Print On Demand Niche Research Ideas #19 - Amazon Merch T Shirt Designs

About this video

Using Merch Informer and its BSR charts, RJ Martinez walks through five trending print-on-demand niche ideas in entry #19 of his research series. First, skeletons — dancing skeletons, Day of the Dead, skateboarding and cowboy skeletons — which he frames as evergreen sellers that spike every October around Halloween and into Q4, cross-niched with ideas like a skeleton dog, flamingo, or basketball. Second, Mexican Independence Day / Mexican pride (the holiday is September 16), with Mexican flag and eagle, sombrero and cultural/food imagery; he notes he is recording September 11, argues it is not too late because live sales provide the best data, and advises making a design work on a white shirt as well as a black shirt to get two sellers from one idea. Third, Thanksgiving, roughly two months out at recording, built around turkeys, food and pies, and keyword angles such as Thanksgiving teacher, plus cat-turkey crossovers, while warning against foods/designs thousands of sellers already have. Fourth, pickles — dabbing pickles, pickle king/queen/mom/dad, and pickleball — as a surprisingly consistent evergreen seller. Fifth, ninjas, especially birthday ninjas by age and family roles (mom/dad of the birthday ninja, brother, grandpa/grandma), plus homeschool ninja. He illustrates the compounding math with an example: 10 consistently selling designs at a $5 royalty per day would be $50 a day / $1,500 a month, suggests outsourcing a custom illustration for $20–30 if you cannot draw, and argues the advantage is selling custom shirts buyers cannot find in a store.

Key takeaways

• Dancing skeletons are presented as evergreen with a Halloween/Q4 spike — cross-niche them (dog, sports, cowboy, Day of the Dead) for year-round sales
• For Mexican Independence Day / Mexican pride, use live peak-season sales data rather than assuming it is too late, and adapt each design for both white and black shirts
• Thanksgiving angles: mine keywords for who is searching (e.g. teacher) and pick a food/angle that is not already saturated by thousands of identical designs
• Pickles and pickleball, and ninja birthdays by age and family role, are offered as consistent evergreen niches beyond obvious trends — avoid Rick and Morty / Ninja Turtles unless you hold the rights
• Creator’s compounding example: 10 designs selling daily at $5 royalty each equals $50/day or $1,500/month; he suggests a $20–30 outsourced illustration can supply the custom artwork
