hey what's up guys Happy Halloween today
I wanted to do a video on my sales kind
of decreasing at a rapid rate recently
and I think I figured out why so let me
know if anybody else's sales look kind
of similar where last week maybe Monday
was really good Tuesday good but not as
good as Monday Wednesday continuing to
decline Thursday continuing to decline
now we knew about Thursday Friday we
would stop seeing as many Halloween
sales because Amazon wouldn't be able to
commit to the delivery by Halloween by
Monday by today but I think there's
something else going on so I'm going to
share that with you in this video and
hope that uh it's not something that we
control unfortunately so we're going to
need to lean on Amazon and Amazon merch
team to uh to get this ship righted so
let's get right to it
foreign
reminder in the description I've got
some free resources for you I've got my
seven day Amazon merch mini course
delivered via email all you have to do
is give me your email address I'll send
you one lesson a day for seven days and
I've got a great Amazon merch Facebook
group that I hope you'll check out all
right so I'm on my pretty merch Pro Plus
research Tab and I'm gonna open up just
any t-shirt okay so why don't we open up
this jack-o-lantern t-shirt I just want
to show you guys something so let's say
that I wear a men's size large oh well
look at that it is out of stock all
right the orange t-shirts ahead of
Halloween were not kept in stock so
Amazon did US dirty there
I've seen this happen in the fourth
quarter but I've never seen it happen
this like this badly this this obviously
in Halloween before maybe I just wasn't
paying enough attention but I really
don't think I've seen it where you know
the only sizes available in a men's uh
orange shirt is small and 3XL all right
if we want to go to women's orange shirt
you've got okay you have all the sizes
that's great and youth it looks like
you've got uh almost all the sizes no XL
XXL or 3XL in youth
um beyond that you know I know most of
us probably are best-selling shirt
colors are black at least my own you
know personally
if I go to view uh this is just you know
random bestseller but it doesn't matter
if it's a bestseller or a new t-shirt
the reality is these are blank shirts
that are you know warehoused and again
when they make the sale then they get
you know printed and whatnot so if we
look at a men's black shirt uh it looks
like everything's in stock except for
3XL that's good
um let's look at women's black shirt
really quickly uh looks like women's is
good and youth uh everything good except
for XXX and XXX and then 3T I'm not
really that familiar with the youth
sizes but if we go to Navy it looks like
uh Navy maybe the okay maybe youth
doesn't offer the x large XL and 3XL but
look at men Navy so if we go to men Navy
uh extra large XL and uh okay I'm gonna
I'm getting these confused but all the
extra large is are sold out for Navy
um we didn't check women let's check
women uh women the 3XL is sold out so
just a lot of colors sold out
um we look at the asphalt color uh in
women's all the XL XXL and 3XL sold out
go to men's the small and the extra
extra large sold out youth
small is sold out so they just have a
lot of restocking to do
um and this could be wow look at brown
brown men's shirts only size available
3XL so if there's one thing to take away
from this video guys I think you get the
point and let's just keep looking real
quickly but I'll talk as we go
um women's is in stock youth uh is in
stock
just make sure now that we can offer 10
colors
and I mean I know the person that that
made this shirt the the original owner
of this shirt I'm gonna message them
after this video
and I'm going to suggest that they
enable more colors you know because we
can go in and we can enable up to 10
colors I'm pretty sure you can do that
on the old designs can't you I haven't
tried recently but I'm pretty sure you
can
um adding additional colors would be a
really smart idea because there may be
people that want to buy this shirt and
are severely limited in what colors
uh they can even choose as a function of
what size shirt they wear you know
um you know look at the youth size
medium sold out I haven't seen any of
the X X and XXX large
um the 3T sold out looks like pretty
often women's in the
um dark Heather the smallest sold out
men's wow in men's
um dark Heather only medium is available
so
if you're publishing new products just I
would say uh just definitely make them
available in as many colors as possible
as long as it makes sense as long as it
looks good uh don't forget when you're
creating product listings on Amazon
merch there is the upload settings where
you can what do they call it like
publish settings where basically you can
create like a template so that every
time you create a new listing it's going
to start off with like those products
selected in those colors and that's
something that I have heavily leverage I
use merch Titans automation to upload to
automate most of my uploads anyways but
also flying upload recently added
support for that so now both of those
upload tools are pretty much working the
same I can drop links to them in the
description in case anybody wants to
check them out but if you're in lower
tiers you don't really need the upload
automation but it's worth knowing that
that's there so guys if your sales are
down it might not just be that Halloween
sales are pretty much done at this point
I mean it's Halloween today so Amazon's
fast they're not that fast
um but it's certainly like you know oh
I'm a man I wanna I wanna fit type men's
brown shirt go to sizes and I can only
get a 3XL well unfortunately that's not
going to fit me so this is something to
be aware of hopefully Amazon gets this
figured out really quickly but I did
want to just point this out in case
anybody didn't notice that a ton of
color and size variations are out of
stock also making your designs available
on premium shirts is another great
option because those are printed on the
Bella canvas 3001 they're a better
quality shirt in general and I'm not
afraid to charge you know 22 dollars for
my premium shirt so that I still make
that five dollar royalty uh so that's
something else you guys can consider let
me know your thoughts in the comments
below and uh did you see a decline in
your sales too because I think this
really started to pick up steam last
week and yeah hopefully they get them
back in stock alright guys thanks for
