About the halloween niche
Halloween shirts start selling in September and peak in the last two weeks of October. Last-minute "costume" shirts, which let people take part without a full costume, are the core of the niche.
Group and couple costumes (matching shirts for friends, families or teachers) are especially strong because one search can turn into several purchases.
Design angles that sell
- Lazy costume shirts: "this is my costume", food and object costumes
- Matching couple and group costumes
- Teacher and nurse Halloween shirts for work events
- Cute spooky designs (ghosts, pumpkins, black cats) for a broader audience
What to avoid
- Characters from horror films are trademarked and get removed
- Uploading in October is usually too late to rank for the peak
