Navigating Online Trends For Success
There’s a new viral moment practically everyday: Kendrick Lamar making bootcut jeans a thing again, Beyonce’s iconic reaction to her winning Best Country Album at the Grammy’s.
But it’s impossible to make merch for every viral blip. You need to capitalize on the trends that matter most to you, be they in pop culture, sports - you name it. You’ll find real, profitable success with moment merch you’re passionate about.
Having a “niche” also makes it easier for you to make and market your designs. You won’t have to worry about trying to appeal to everyone with your merch, which means you can focus on creating designs that truly resonate.
When you tap into a specific community or interest, you’re more likely to attract loyal buyers who understand your vision. Plus, niche merch has staying power. Trends come and go, but a dedicated fan base will always be looking for fresh, relevant designs.
Customize 250+ Products For the Moment
Print-on-demand gives you the flexibility to make and sell 250+ products without having to stress about inventory management. It’s the easiest way to cash in on merch that’s either for the moment or more long-term.
Upload unlimited designs to products that come in a variety of styles and color ways. We carry products that are both trends and everyday staples, so there’s literally something for everyone!
PRO TIP: Take advantage of seasonal products to further capitalize on the moment. Offer oversized hoodies and sweatshirts that will resonate with your audience right now. Be prepared to stock your shop up with reusable water bottles and tote bags ahead of the sunny, summer season.
Just because we offer a vast merch assortment doesn’t mean you have to overwhelm your audience with options. When you lead with the season and trends in fashion, you can’t lose. The moment is all yours!
How to Avoid Copyright With Your Designs
When it comes to making viral-ready moment merch, the only thing you want to avoid: Copyright infringement. Copyright laws are no joke. That’s why its incredibly important to make the right design choices to avoid any potential legal issues.
Trademarked logos, graphics and photos are off limits. This can be frustrating when you want to create moment merch, but if anything, it only forces you to be more creative! Choose text and graphic elements that are similar to what want to reference, but not exact. Reference insider knowledge those in a particular fandom would only understand.
Need design help? Platforms like Canva have plenty of template and graphic options to make your moment merch designs. Search specific keywords that will make it easier for you to create viral-ready merch. You don’t have to be a professional designer to create quality merch designs. Use design tools like Canva to create print-ready graphics that appeal to your audience.
Copyright laws might make creating moment merch more difficult, but they make the whole design process even more exciting!
Cash in on the Moment
When it comes to making profitable moment merch, you need to act quick. And Print-on-demand means you can. You don’t have to worry about ordering inventory or dealing with drawn-put production times. Your merch is only printed once an order is placed.
That’s a win-win for you and the planet.
It’s easy to upload a design to our service and turn apparel and accessories into custom merch within a few hours. You pounce when the moment is fresh. The great thing about print-on-demand services like Spreadshop, in this case, is that once the fad fades, you’re not stuck holding gear that no one wants when it’s over!
Simply de-active your designs when you feel the moment has faded and move on to the next thing. This makes it easy for you to keep up with the demands of your audience.
When it comes to your earnings, we make that easy, too. You set your own margins for your products - we just take the base price. And you start earning from your first order!
Say it Loud on Socials
Something that’s essential to profiting from your moment merch: A solid social strategy. We know you’re already all over TikTok and Instagram, and your merch should be, too.
And it’s easier than you think to create engaging content to promote your merch. Screen casting is a popular tactic that creators of all niches are using to get their message out there. This involves overlaying a recording of yourself with accompanying audio, essentially giving commentary on various viral trends and moments. This is one of the fast ways to get your message out there.
For more curated, long-form merch drops, official product shots/clips are great for promoting your products. They help to emphasize the branding power of your merch shop.
