Upload Your Designs To Tote Bags & Throw Pillows (New Products)- Merch By Amazon Tutorial Research

About this video

This is a tutorial and research walkthrough on Merch by Amazon’s then-new tote bags and throw pillows. The creator gives the design dimensions he is showing as 1925 by 2925 pixels, points to downloadable templates showing bleed areas, cut-off points and the safe zone, and argues getting designs up ahead of Q4 builds BSR ranking and sales velocity for the following year. Reviewing selling throw pillows, he notes some t-shirt designs transfer well, but designs made specifically for pillows stand out more: patterns, coloured backgrounds instead of only white or black, Christmas-themed patterns with snowflakes and a dog, and simple text on a coloured background are all shown selling. He says simple text does not require a complex illustration. Price points he observes for pillows are roughly $19.99 to $26.99. For tote bags he sees similar patterns, including patterns with text in the middle, floral designs aimed at women, illustrations, and varied background colours such as black, light blue, pink, white and lighter brown, which he says help stand out. He recommends moving top-selling t-shirt designs onto tote bags because they may sell there too, while ideally designing for each product individually, just as for phone cases. Tote prices he observes are mostly $16.99 to $18.99. He closes with trademark classification numbers to watch: class 18 for tote bags and class 20 for throw pillows.

Key takeaways

• Use the 1925 x 2925 pixel size and official templates with bleed and safe zones for tote bags and throw pillows
• Design specifically for the product rather than only copying a t-shirt design; patterns and coloured backgrounds are shown selling well on both
• Upload early ahead of Q4 to build BSR and sales velocity before peak competition
• Move proven top sellers onto tote bags and pillows as a test, since existing winners may sell on the new products too
• Price in line with observed ranges discussed, and check trademarks using class 18 for tote bags and class 20 for throw pillows
