About the teacher niche
Teacher shirts follow the school calendar: back to school, the 100th day of school, Read Across America, testing season, the last day of school and teacher appreciation week.
Grade-level and subject-specific designs ("2nd grade teacher", "science teacher") let you target smaller, less crowded searches.
Design angles that sell
- Grade-level and subject-specific shirts
- School calendar events: 100 days of school, field day, last day
- Teacher humor about coffee, grading and summer break
- Teacher holiday shirts for Halloween and Christmas at school
What to avoid
- Keep designs classroom-appropriate; teachers can't wear edgy jokes to work
- Children's book characters are protected
