What Color Shirts Should I Upload To | Merch By Amazon
About this video
The creator shares the top-selling shirt colors from his own Merch by Amazon account, based on his testing. He says sales had dipped to 10-11 a day and were recovering to 20-25 a day, with a Valentine’s Day shirt from the previous year selling again at 5-7 a day. He ranks black first, saying the black variant alone had passed $9,000 in total sales in his account, and describes black as versatile and flattering. Navy is second, followed by royal blue, which he says parents often buy for kids, pink, which he associates with women buyers, and purple. He adds dark heather as an extra pick beyond the top five, saying heather colors are especially popular on Etsy as well as Merch by Amazon, that women love the heather feel, and that men are starting to like it too. He also names heather blue and heather gray as good options. The core message is that color results come from testing, and he invites viewers to share their own top five colors.
