Bulk designs on Merch by Amazon have been something that we have not talked much about. Sometimes they can do EXTREMELY well while other times they can just fill up your account with lots of shirts that come down and do not sell. However, if you have taken the time to do your research properly and know what niches a good design variation would do well in, then I have good news for you! Merch Informer just released a bulk design tool in the Merch Informer Designer! Previously, it would take a LONG time to go through and edit individual files to change out specific words in a design. Even if you were using Photoshop or Illustrator, this was a […]

Ever since the very beginning of Merch by Amazon, doing the right research and making sure that you can gain search visibility for designs people ACTUALLY want to buy has been the differentiating factor between those who see success and those who don’t. As the Merch landscape has changed over the years, we have taken to expanding our research from just Amazon, to covering multiple platforms. If you can find niches where there is customer demand, there is social proof and people are active in that niche, and you can create something unique that will stand out, you will make sales. It really is as simple as that, but is so often overlooked. In the very beginning, we heavily used […]

One of the hardest parts about being a seller is making sure you can bring all the moving parts together to make sure that you are offering your customers exactly what they want. You need to first have amazing designs that resonate with your audience. After you have the design part completed, you still need to figure out how to get eyeballs on your product and use the right keywords to get the search traffic from the platform you are selling on. Merch Informer has just released the new Social Hunter module which will help you bring all the pieces together with the help of Etsy! The social hunter brings in Etsy search to show you the EXACT tags that […]

How many hours of your life have you wasted because you were looking for that specific design that your designer created for you, or that you had created 3 days previous but were not sure what folder you put it in? Perhaps you were trying to find a design because it was removed from Merch by Amazon and you want to put it back up… but you aren’t sure where you put the file/folder OR excel spreadsheet with your listing data? If you are anything like me, you are spending way too much time trying to figure out some form of organization for your Merch business and get crucial information of how many designs you have in a niche. THIS […]

Q4 is here and so are the Holidays! If you have been in Merch by Amazon for even a few weeks and have been doing your research (like you should!), then you know just how annoying research can be around the holidays. It is annoying because EVERYONE is trying to capitalize on the extra traffic and holidays by stuffing their bullet points and description with keywords. Today, we fixed that problem and added Title Only Search to Merch Informer! Search In Title Only Since Christmas is coming up, let’s use that as an example. Say you want to search for “Dabbing Santa” and see what kind of competition you would be facing (which is a LOT in this niche). However, […]

Earlier this month we released our new Chrome extension which is part of the Merch Informer family of research products: The Merch Informer Book Hunter. This has already been a great source of easy, unsaturated niches that you can use on Merch by Amazon by using SOCIAL proof! The entire idea was to find ideas off of Amazon (on social media instead), and get some social proof that these niches have customer demand. Bringing fresh ideas onto the Merch platform with your own designs in niches which demand is such an easy way to make sales. If you are unique (but there is demand in those niches), this makes your products stick out, and leads to sales! While this was […]
