About the christmas niche
Christmas is the biggest selling season for print-on-demand. Demand starts climbing in early November and stays high until about December 18, when shipping cut-offs end most orders.
Matching family pajama and shirt sets, "ugly Christmas sweater" print designs and profession-themed Christmas shirts make up most of the best sellers.
Design angles that sell
- Matching family Christmas shirts (mom, dad, kids, even the dog)
- Ugly Christmas sweater prints on long sleeve shirts and sweatshirts
- Profession Christmas shirts: nurses, teachers, truckers
- Christmas with a hobby: fishing, gaming, coffee, cats
What to avoid
- Grinch, Elf and other film references are protected and get removed
- List sweatshirts and long sleeves too; they sell better than tees in winter
