In this video, I'll share five niches that are guaranteed to sell on Etsy this summer. So if you want to make more sales in July and August of this year, then make sure to stay tuned all the way until the end, and we'll dive right into Niche number one, which is wedding gifts. Pulling up e rank.com, this is a keyword research tool for Etsy that will give you an idea of how many people are searching for different terms on Etsy right now. So typing in the word wedding gift, you can see that the biggest spike for this keyword is actually in July and August. In 2023, they had 98,000 people search Etsy for the term wedding gift, and 104,000 people search this term in August. So now is the perfect time to be posting for the wedding gift Niche. There's a lot of different types of products that you can sell for PR on demand in the wedding gift category. Let's go over to Etsy, and I'll show you some that are selling super well.

literally today as I record this in June looking on Etsy at the term wedding gifts. There's over a th000 results with ads for bestselling items in the wedding gift Niche. Now there's tons of different products that fall within this category. This first one is actually a personalized wife shirt so mrss so and so. I'm going to actually blur out all the designs that I'm showing you on Etsy because I don't want thousands of people watching this video to All Copy the same listing. But I hope this gives you a lot of inspiration because this t-shirt has four people that have bought it in the last 24 hours. And if I use my everb Chrome extension which which I have linked down in the description. You can get more details on how much they've sold estimating based on how many reviews they have. And so this one is estimated to have sold 714 times in only 4 months. The next product for this category is custom candles. So I have an example right here of an engagement gift candle that 15 people have bought in the

last 24 hours alone. And if I use the Everb Chrome extension again, um, this one is sold 3200 times in the last 9 months alone. Another great product to sell would be custom pillows with their custom names or wedding date, and this one is sold 15 times in the last 24 hours. And you can do print on demand pillows using Printify. I will have the printer that I use linked down in the description. If you haven't used Printify before, I do have a link that you can sign up with them and get one month free of the Printify premium. If you haven't signed up with them before, but this custom pillow sold 27,000 times since it's been listed. Custom sweatshirts for wedding gifts are really huge as well. So this one has a custom year on it of the year that they're getting married. Seven people bought this in the last 24 hours. And looking at the Everb information, it's sold 7,180 times in the last 10 months.

this is absolutely a huge category to be making designs in that's selling ridiculously well right now. As you're watching this video now, the next wedding gift item that I recommend making designs for is actually part of our second niche that's guaranteed to sell this summer, which is actually ornaments. So, this wedding gift ornament has sold 16 times in the last 24 hours alone. And again, I'm recording this in June, and this ornament has sold 19,966 times in the last 11 months alone. If we take a look at Etsy to see how many best sellers there are right this second for ornaments, there's over 1,000 plus already. Just imagine as we get closer to the holiday season how many bestselling ornaments there'll be. So now's the perfect time to be listing for these. And if we pull up the word ornament on rring to see when people are searching for these items, you can see people start to really search for them in July. But last August, there was a huge bump up to 42,000 searches already.

then it just keeps growing all the way until November. When 200,000 people will search for the term just ornament on Etsy, let alone any other variations like a specific type of ornament, or even saying Christmas ornament. So, this is a huge product to get into. Some of the best sellers in ornaments right now are things like retirement gifts, like this one here that has Plus in the cart is a bestseller badge right now and is sold 50 times in the last 8 months. This 50th Anniversary ornament has 20 plus in the cart. This mother of the bride ornament has 20 plus in the cart. This ornament just says your message here and has sold 1,700 times in 39 months. And this Memorial ornament has sold 364 times in the last 7 months alone. I actually checked a few days ago how many best sellers there were in Etsy right now for Christmas ornaments, and at the time there was only 700. So, this number is just growing literally every single day. So definitely check out the ornaments.

Niche, if you are wanting to get more sales this summer, so that brings us to Niche number three that's guaranteed to sell this summer, and it actually might feel too early for this, but it's not just like Christmas ornaments. The term is actually Halloween shirts. Looking over at e-rank, we can see that Halloween shirts actually hits its biggest peak in August last year with 122,000 searches for this term in the month of August. So you start to see a little bit of an uptick in June, quite a bit more in July, and then again its peak in August. And you want to be designing for listings 8 to 12 weeks in advance of when they'll actually be selling. So right now in June and July is the perfect time to be listing for these, that way you can be ready for that big search volume that's coming in August. This first listing that's actually Halloween themed Bachelorette shirts has sold 184 times in the last 3 months. So this listing hasn't even been available

for the Halloween season yet so there are some listings that are best sellers that are doing really well right now. Where some of the other kind of really Halloween-themed items from last year aren't selling super well just yet but they will start to in July and August like this listing from last year that sold 682 times in 9 months, this one that sold 1693 times in the last 11 months, and this one that's sold 2,422 times in the last 11 months. So this is a really big category. My best advice for selling Halloween items is to do some kind of more generic pumpkins, ghosts, and things like that, but you really want to combine Halloween with other niches that are popular. So combine Halloween with cats, combine Halloween with dogs, combine Halloween with different professions and hobbies. That's where you really find a lot of this success. Halloween this year in 20124 falls on a Thursday, I believe. So that means a lot of people are going to be at work on Halloween when it falls on a

weekend. Sometimes you don't get as many sales for things like nurses and teachers, but since it does fall on a weekday this year, I think a lot of those professions are going to be great ones to target for this niche. The fourth niche guaranteed to sell this summer is back-to-school items, so this covers a couple different categories, which I'll show you what's selling really well in Etsy right now, but let's take a look at e-rank to see when this search term is actually really popular. So we started to see a trend up in June with 6600 searches last year, and we saw our biggest spike in search terms was in July. And so right now is the perfect time to get a few more listings out there. Then there's also a really decent amount of searches for these in August. So this is the type of stuff that's selling in the summertime. I know Etsy can be really slow, but if you list for the right products, you can get sales during the summer as well. So coming back

over to Etsy. The first category that sells really well for back to school is grade level shirts. So, this would say like first grade, second grade, third grade, and so on. This one says one of the grades but also has a personalized name option, which can be a really great way to add value. If you do personalization, I do have a link for hello custom down in the description where that software will actually personalize the name for you and actually change it. So, I'll link that down below, and you do get a special deal, which I believe is half off your first month with using my link. So, if you'd want to try personalization but you don't feel like you have the time to actually change the names and post all those designs, that's how was an option for you. But this design is selling really well. Already seven people bought this in the last 24 hours, and this listing is only 1 month old. It's estimated to have already sold 45 times. So, again, this is a great one to get into.

right this very second this is another grade level shirt that's sold six times in the last 24 hours. And this is a pretty new listing at 1 month old, and it's sold 133 times so super super great. One this listing is 2 months old and is sold 50 times. Another popular category is just custom name shirts, so just the teacher's name custom Miss so and so. This one is 10 months old and has sold 66 times. Uh, this one just has a custom name, and 10 people bought in the last 24 hours. And this one is 34 months old but has sold 2,000 times in those 34 months. The last Super popular category for back to school is kids shirts, so people really love to get their kids new shirts for back to school. So this one has 20 plus VI used in the last 24 hours and has a best seller badge. And again just says the grade level but it's for a kid. Now some that sell even better than that are ones that have a custom kids name.

this one has sold four times in the last 24 hours. This listing sold 2700 times in the last 35 months. And then this last one is sold five times in the last 24 hours. And this one is 11 months old and it's sold 390 times. So again, a super profitable Niche to get into especially if you're looking to get sales in July and August. Our last Niche that's guaranteed to sell this summer might just surprise you as well, and that is actually sweatshirts. So some people think that you should only make sweatshirt listings for winter months, but in reality, especially in colder climates where I live in northern United States, we wear sweaters pretty much every night or even when my husband cranks the AC too much. I'm wearing a sweater around the house. So I wear a sweater pretty much almost every single day the entire year, and a lot of people are like that. And if you look on e-rank, there is searches all year long for the

term sweatshirt. So even in April last year, there was a 63,000 people searching for it. And then in August, we saw big spike up to 124,000 people. And in September, 118,000. Obviously, we see some of the biggest spikes around November for people looking for like Christmas sweaters and Halloween sweaters and things like that in the fall. But you do see a pretty big spike in the August time frame. Some other terms are things like fall sweatshirt. We start to see a big hike for these in July and August, with the peak being in September. But again, you want to be listing a month or two before they're actually selling. Halloween sweatshirts start to get quite a few searches in July and then see their peak actually in August. And even Christmas sweaters really start to get searches in August and September. And so again, you want to have some of your Christmas sweaters posted before August, that way they're there when people start to search for them. Coming over to Etsy, there are thousands of bestselling

results for sweatshirts right now. I personally post pretty much every design. If I post it on a shirt, I'm also posting it on a sweatshirt. You could post it on either the Gildan 18,000 sweatshirt or the Comfort Colors 1566 sweatshirt. I think both are really great options. Maybe go with if you're selling Comfort Colors t-shirts also sell Comfort Colors sweatshirts, but you can do whichever makes the most sense for you. Those are both available on Printify. Some sweatshirts that are selling on Etsy super well literally today are things like this Fourth of July themed sweatshirt that's only 1 month old and is estimated to have already sold 27 times, and it has a bestseller badge. Another one that's selling really well are engagement sweatshirts. So something like custom Mr. and Mrs. sweatshirts are selling well. This one sold two times in the last 24 hours, and if we check on Ever, this one is sold 138 times in Just.

4 months. The next one is a bachelorette party themed sweatshirt. It has a bestseller badge and it's sold over 24 times in its very first month. And this one's kind of a coastal theme, so you might not have thought to do sweatshirts for this niche, but really I think almost any niche you're designing for, you really can be putting those designs on sweatshirts. Like this last one here has sold 277 times in 4 months. And this one's for the baking niche. And so really any niche I would be designing for, sweatshirts, especially if you have listings in your store that are already selling well. I would go ahead and add that exact same design to a sweatshirt to have an additional listing for it. And I'd also make more designs for any niches that you're selling well in and add those to sweatshirts and t-shirts as well, because doubling down on what's working by making more listings for the same niche is a really good strategy.

get more sales in your store. I really hope that you love this tutorial and got so much inspiration for what to be designing for and posting this summer to get more sales. But if you do have trouble doing the research yourself and feeling inspired on what to do next, then I would love to invite you to join my print-on-demand roadmap course and Community where I do group coaching. I release a trend report every single month that's over an hour long of what's selling right now, so different unsaturated niches, different listings that are really taking off, different design styles that are selling really, really well right now to help take the guesswork out for you. A couple testimonials I have for my Trend reports are like this one where she says Cassie showed a custom Father's Day design in the May Trend report that they thought would be good to customize for a niche. I focus on just over one week later that shirt has sold eight times and is in 14 carts. I'm hoping I can get a few more.

sales before the shipping deadline for Father's Day. And then this testimonial. This is my win for this week. I just got a sale for 14 Comfort Color shirts, and that wasn't even something I thought was a group shirt. Best feeling ever to get a group order. This is by far my best month in terms of orders and revenue. The largest group order I had before was for eight shirts. I still cannot believe it. I'm now at 565 sales. I made this design 2 weeks ago after I got inspired by the April's Trend report. Thank you, Cassie Johnson, for making these reports. And this last testimonial from Julie says she joined the 3,000 sales Club this week. She said, for reference, it took me 18 months to get 1,500, and now I've doubled that within just 5 months. And when someone asked her how she got to where she did and getting those 3,000 sales, she said, Yeah, of course. Honestly, my biggest tip is to take action after watching Cassie's Trend reports. What

I've done for four months now is to take one or two niches or styles from those that inspired me most. Make about 20 to 30 value-added designs and list them within 48 hours after watching the report. I've had so many sales from those and even a few bestseller badges. So if you want to have results like that, then feel free to join me. I'll link down below the link to join the print-on-demand roadmap, and I hope to see you in there. And as always, thank you so much for watching all the way until the end, and I'll see you in the next one. [Music]
