## Transcript

crucial times of year for online sellers, which is the holiday season. [music] While Q4 has already begun, we still have time right now to appeal to buyers because as Black Friday comes along, as Christmas comes along, people
are going to start shopping like crazy in just a few weeks. So, I wanted to make this video talking about products that you should absolutely have on your Etsy shop available for customers and to post them now so that you can really
take advantage of this spike that we're going to be seeing continuing on into with this spike coming up, while any types of products can sell, there definitely are certain products that do sell better at this time of year,
especially on Etsy. And as a printon-demand seller for many years, I what I feel are things that you should have on your store. [music] And I use products. So that is what I'm going to be sharing with you [music] and showing
favorite print on demand supplier. I've been using them for years and especially in Q4. They're very fast and fulfill my orders efficiently. So first off, one of my favorite products to sell and is definitely one that blew off the charts
last year is wrapping paper. So wrapping paper as in what someone is going to be ripping off of their present on Christmas Day or a birthday. I mean, wrapping paper to wrap gifts, but especially during the holiday season,
people purchasing wrapping [music] paper. And back when I went to talking with the team and other sellers, and we all were discussing how cool it was to see the demand in wrapping paper, especially last year, and the amount of
people that are willing to buy custom or specifically designed wrapping paper. are willing to buy and it's something that yes, sure you can buy anywhere, but if you're putting it towards the right target audience, there is a market for
it. So, a few things that I would suggest for the wrapping paper is to have patterns that are specific for a certain type of niche. So, maybe you're selling to a profession like best nurse ever. You can make a really cool holiday
wrapping paper for that. Or maybe you could even do a wrapping paper that is customized to someone's name or last name or just trendy and cute patterns that look highquality and expensive. Especially with wrapping paper, this is
one of those things that I would say in your mockups to really utilize highquality mock-ups. You can create some really great mock-ups using AI or sites like Placeit and you could get really good photos of different packages
really sell it. That's one that I would are going to start buying gifts and want said, it's going to take off in just a few weeks like when people just like
start buying. I feel like it's like right around, you know, mid November if Christmas gifts." And then you have up until like the week before where people are really buying and really making sure that they have gifts for everybody. The
next item is ornaments. And ornaments go crazy every year on Etsy because of the many different ways that you could go with it for baby's first Christmas and do specific themes. It could even be a
family portrait or a drawn portrait, a portrait of someone's animal with their name for Christmas. There's so many angles you can put that in and it really can tailor to any specific niche that you have on your store. Honestly, same
though, what I really like is that Printify has a lot of different options. They have some that are specific shapes, can also do just round ones and different materials. So, there's a lot of options to diversify in the ornament
situation and to help you stand out on Etsy rather than just having the same boring ornament that everybody has. I personally had a lot of success with a motivational stuff on. This was selling really well in the mental health niche
people are looking for them. And I would say too to put in that this is home decor even though it's an ornament because home decor items sell extremely well on Etsy, especially in Q4 cuz people are decorating for a new season.
So I highly recommend adding that in the description and title of your product. You can honestly set up a whole home decor store on Etsy that doesn't even these different types of home decor items and be extremely successful. I
doing personalized home decor as well. Another product in the home decor category that is very good for gift giving is the new glass and other Printify. I think these are incredible to do different types of customizations
gift. And again is a product that you can definitely mark up and have a higher profit margin cuz when something is larger, heavier, and then also has personalization, you really can charge for what the product is. You'll
definitely see higher profit margins from products like this than you would in my opinion. One of my favorite products to sell every year as well is candles. I think that candles are so incredible for print on demand. If you
know that when I first started selling online, even before I started print on demand, I was hand pouring candles and selling them in self-care gift boxes and it was such a struggle. And so the fact that we can now do print on demand with
because candles are actually very expensive to source in bulk. And so this way. But now as print on demand sellers and it being available on Printify with lots of different scents and jar options, it's so incredible. So it's one
of my favorite products and has been since I've been selling products online. I specifically really like these amber soy candle jars. I think they're really beautiful and they're really fun to put specific types of designs on for maybe
the holiday season or incorporating your niche with the holiday season. But of course, you can do them customized as well with someone's photo. Maybe it's a funny photo or a meme photo that's customized by the customer or it can be,
you know, again, a housewarming gift for somebody's first home or first Christmas and so on and so forth. But I think overall in the colder months, sun is going down earlier and people want more of that like cozy vibe. Candles are
something that a lot of people reach for and the purchasing of them does increase a candle that I feel like not a lot of sellers do sell and I think it's perfect for Etsy and I've had success with it. It's the 7th Avenue candle. It's an 11
oz full glass candle. It's a bit bigger. It has a different type of top. It comes from Swag Rabbit, which is the provider on Printify. I love this candle. I've ordered multiple samples of this. What I specifically love about it is that you
can put designs around the entire candle itself rather than just having that one label in the front. I find this to be a little bit more unique and something design and do something as if like the designs on a mug or a Tumblr. If this is
something that you already have, you already have a cute design that sells really well on a mug, you can use that same design and put it on a candle that it's a really cool idea. And I know I'm mentioning a lot of home decor, but that
is for good reason. Any types of pillow covers or blankets also sell really well. You can use really fun patterns and, you know, put these on different holiday blankets or pillows that someone can decorate with seasonally. In
specific, I like the pillow covers both in the suede and just the regular pillow covers. And then also, I would recommend selling the new threaded blankets. I video talking about them not too long
overall, they're really high quality item. The print is impressive and it's a really great gift to receive and honestly, there's not a huge competition with this threaded material on Etsy, so it could be a really great opportunity
for you to get some sales. All in all, I want you to remember that all through the year, you do have an opportunity to sell online. Even though there is a spark in Q4, it doesn't mean that you can't list these products and sell them
for the next year or even into Q1, people are still purchasing even after Christmas. And it's all about just understanding and knowing who your incorporate and really take advantage of these spikes that we see. And like I
said, it's not too late as long as you list them now. Etsy typically will have a little bit of buffer time when your listing goes live. I see it to be about 10 to 14 days before my listing actually starts to get traction. So, do it now so
that you can get in the algorithms and maybe even get a sale right away so that your listing is pushed to the holiday shoppers. And make sure that you are putting in your niche where you can try it out. See if there's a way that you
can add a holiday trend to a specific design. Always do your research and know more unique products rather than t-shirts and sweatshirts because there's will be linked in the description below. I'll also leave some helpful video links
post a lot of videos on my social media that can help you to get inspired with if you want to check that out, it will also be linked in the description. Thank see you in the next video. And happy selling.
