what's up guys in this video we are
going to be focused on the mardi gras
t-shirt niche because it has big time
potential it's not just the mardi gras
niche there is a million ways to spin it
actually i don't know how many exact
number of ways there are to spin it but
in this video we're gonna take a look at
quite a few different best-selling
t-shirts in this niche
and hopefully position ourselves
as we are what uh probably closer to two
months away than we are one month away
from this holiday so we've got plenty of
time to get some designs put together
get them uploaded get them ranked and
make some sales and capitalize off of
this big trend that isn't too big that
everybody thinks about it but it's big
enough
and uh even though it is kind of
localized to
um louisiana you know i think still
people would probably buy a t-shirt you
know in other places in the united
states to celebrate mardi gras so let's
get started
[Music]
before we get started i wanted to remind
you i run a free weekly print-on-demand
giveaway it takes like 10 seconds to
enter you can find a link at the top of
the description to take advantage of
that the winner will be announced on
sunday and if you win i'll email you so
you don't have to catch sunday's video
um also in the description while you're
looking at the giveaway link i've got a
free 7 day merch by amazon mini course
that you can take advantage of again
completely free and i've got a great
merch by amazon facebook group if you
would like to join so we are talking
about mardi gras and mardi gras t-shirts
specifically in this video so it takes
place on tuesday march 1st 2022 and i
believe after that a lent begins it's
also known as fat tuesday by the way
but be careful not to say fat tuesday
well actually always do your own
research and your own validation
but i do believe on merch by amazon like
fat tuesday will get you in trouble i
think because there's like at least a
restaurant named fat tuesday of course
you know i'm just a youtuber so always
go verify validate your
niches and your keywords uh on your own
to keep your account safe but i don't
think fat tuesday is going to be loud
so mardi gras man things get crazy on
the streets of new orleans i have never
been i need to go
before i get too old and it's not
socially acceptable anymore i don't know
what age that is actually but as you can
see here there's like crazy parades
going through the streets there's
madness people throwing beads everywhere
and the beads are actually going to tie
into one of the t-shirt designs that i'm
going to show you and it's actually
going to be my favorite t-shirt design
at the very end i show you my favorite
t-shirt design and it's pretty funny if
you know what you're supposed to do when
you get a some beads thrown at you uh
also when i was telling marielle that i
was doing a mardi gras video since her
family's from louisiana she sent me this
picture of her grandparents uh that were
king and queen i guess of mardi gras
back in the day so shout out to them
also king cake when i was in louisiana i
found out that you eat king cake there's
a little uh jester i think hidden in
this cake somewhere so when you eat it
eat it slow and there's always a plastic
baby on the cake too and i don't know
why that is so if anybody wants to let
us know i'm sure they told us while i
was there but this was too long ago
on the you know you got the colors there
green yellow purple etc it's just one
big party so let's get to these t-shirts
guys there is so many ways to attack
this niche
and like i said i think it's big enough
that you can probably sell them around
the united states not just um localized
to louisiana because honestly it's like
fat tuesdays
i think it's related to religion so you
know it's right before lent so even
though the mardi gras stuff probably is
kind of localized to louisiana i think
people get excited about that the
culture the the party and you can have
mardi gras parties
in any state right any of the 50 states
so you can rock these t-shirts to your
party and life is good
so first one here i want to show you
check out the design i think that's what
makes this design special is just that
whoever put it together did a really
great job um all the lettering you got
gradients on some flat colors on the
other you know let the shenanigans begin
you got the mask masks are big for mardi
gras
here's another shirt we got a bunch so
i'm gonna go kind of quick it says beads
and bling it's a mardi gras thing love
it again color schemes consistent any
time you do glitter by the way
be careful not to mention the word
glitter they updated the content policy
at this point probably like two or three
years ago so it's been like this for a
while probably two years ago if i had to
guess i don't know time keeps flying by
uh where basically they stopped allowing
you to say things like neon glitter you
know think words like that so that that
describe like an effect on the shirt
that isn't actually there
uh this shirt throw me or
throw me something mister so it's
implying like throw me some beads and i
got a funny shirt related to this uh at
the end
uh this shirt says new orleans and it's
just got a mask and you know what they
did differently that i'm not a huge fan
of like i don't typically design
optimized for
the lighter colored shirts but that's
what they did differently they're
optimizing their design for
light-colored shirts when you scroll
through page one you know which one
sticks out like a sore thumb
yes this one because the rest of them
are on black t-shirts so it's actually
kind of smart just to be contrarian and
again draw some people's attention away
from your competitors
this one i love it says come at me bro
but bro is spelled b-r-e-a-u-x
and i don't know like i'm not you know
geography and what not culture is not my
thing but is that like a cajun thing bro
i know that they spell you know the o
sound as
e-u-a-x uh in some of those like
southern states
and the the
um crawfish has like his mask on his
jester hat they got the new orleans
symbols there
here's some more crawfish look how
simple by the way you got three colors
in the color scheme they just did three
crawfish and put the color scheme on
them and they flipped the one in the
middle so it looks a little bit
different i mean there's so much design
inspiration to be taken from this niche
there's so many ways to spin it because
also if you do this design you can go
add some text now right so add some text
above below etc and you can spin this
into like multiple designs
this one says peace love and king cake
king cake was that one with the uh
the sprinkles on it earlier with the
baby in the middle and the jester baked
into it somewhere it's a jester right
it's been a while another yellow green
and purple themed new orleans symbol uh
they call it a masquerade carnival
celebration parade
uh this shirt says mardi gras queen okay
so hey mardi gras queen mardi gras king
shout out to marielle's grandparents
they actually won that
another shirt here you got the mardi
gras gnomes holding their masks and the
jester hats etc
if you have the artistic ability to pull
something like this off more power to
you i don't think i do personally but
yes there's definitely a market for this
here's another mardi gras shirt and guys
the american flags they sell all day it
seems like in every niche there's a way
of spinning an american flag
into that niche so here you go you got
the the stars being replaced by the what
do i call that symbol it's the new
orleans symbol right i feel like i'm
gonna sound like an idiot if it's
something that i should know i'm
googling it on the side new orleans okay
it's the
the flor de lis and of course it's got
to be something where i'm gonna
embarrass myself trying to pronounce it
flor de lis fleur de lis i have no clue
um it's probably like what french
i'm so stupid i should probably know
that it's i don't if it's not french i
really okay moving on moving on uh
that's simple and then you've got the
stripes of the flag and the purple
yellow green purple yellow green
i should be more cultured but this is
what happens when you spend all day at a
computer learning to program instead of
learning all these other things that
life has to offer right uh here's
another one
we have a dog shirt of course dog shirt
you know which one i didn't find by the
way i didn't find a mardi gras t-rex
shirt or dinosaur shirt and we know the
dinosaurs sell year-round and i don't
think i found any unicorn mardi gras
shirts either so hey maybe there's
opportunity there
uh but here we go we got love and it's
mardi gras colors and you got the dog
and the mask on the dog
oh of course who somebody probably
predicted this was coming mardi gras
video games cross niching right video
games people love their video games we
have a video game controller which by
the way well executed on the graphic
there you actually can see that they
made it where they've got like the light
kind of shining on the
the controller kind of consistently
there really well done design they got
the beads on there color scheme
here we've got mardi gras shirts for
first grade for kindergarten of course
you can do other grades than that as
well and expand it out
here's a shirt that just says it's mardi
gras y'all
here's another one that's got the
crawfish and it says who's your
crawdaddy it looks like the same
crawfish design as earlier actually it
says who's your crawdaddy hopefully it's
not a duplicate right what did the other
one say the other one said something
else
uh this says she's my drunker half i
love the distressed font the distressed
font actually looks like it applies to
the graphic down there as well and you
got the drinks and you got the arrow
she's my drunker half i mean that's a
popular shirt that's like an evergreen
that doesn't have to be mardi gras
themed it just sells to people that like
to drink
or maybe like drinking buddies
another love shirt instead of the
previous one had the dog this one's got
that logo that i'm not going to try to
pronounce again uh even though they have
the name of it up there floor didn't oh
wait i said i wasn't gonna gonna try to
pronounce it
uh this one
it's a crawfish shirt and it says it
ain't going to suck itself
if you're going to sell that one don't
select the youth size notice it's just
adult men and adult women it does not
have the youth check box
checked
this one says let's get cray
and it's got the crawfish over the
new orleans themed american flag
this one just says mardi gras new
orleans 20 22. they put the 2022 spin on
it pretty smart love the font selection
there by the way as well
look at this design i could never
execute this myself
but it's like lips biting their own
lower lip
in kind of a seductive way i would say
and notice the reviews by the way 3 out
of 5 stars and i'm going to venture a
guess that it's because they have
designed
the glittery effect but of course when
it's actually printed and they receive
the end result they're going to realize
there's no glitter on here that's just a
graphic design effect so
just a reminder be careful with content
policy don't say the word glitter if
you're going to go for something like
this but i just love that design really
well well done
here's just some
a lot crappier design i would say if i'm
being honest i don't think this is
nearly as good it's just three drinks
new orleans theme jester hat speeds etc
mask
another dog shirt here with the mask on
mardi gras dude mardi gras dude i mean
it's so simple right and they've got the
sunglasses which you can go get an
all-american graphics subscription for
like three dollars a month get a bunch
of those different aviator sunglasses
and then just do minimal work in
photoshop or whatever you use to edit
and trick them out for mardi gras theme
oh here's the unicorn alright i spoke
too soon there is a mardi gras unicorn
design however this one
definitely doesn't really look that much
like a unicorn outside of the little
horn so i think you could go and still
execute some mardi gras unicorn designs
um we're going to be running out soon
mardi gras cruise now i saw multiple
shirts that said mardi gras cruise
i don't know what that means oh wait
it's because of the floats probably so
it's probably not a real cruise or i'm
wrong and maybe there is a real cruise i
don't know
uh
party parading with my nomi's so another
gnome themed mardi gras shirt parading
with my nomi's and my favorite one this
one right here when you get
beads thrown at you in mardi gras
some some uh women they
do a little bit of that uh anyways yeah
if you know what i'm talking about you
do and if you don't you don't but the
the t-shirt here
with the fake boob cut out and the beads
i thought was hilarious so i had to put
that down as my favorite i wouldn't
recommend uploading anything like this
to merch because i'm pretty sure it
violates the content policy in at least
one way but i also just
couldn't not show this shirt because i
thought it was hilarious and they've
even got the little like tattoo of that
little symbol thank you guys for
watching until the end before i leave

full merch by amazon course you can
