College graduation designs are the gift that keeps on giving. It just so happens that there is a college graduation every year (and in some cases many times throughout the year), so creating a number of solid college graduation designs is an investment that can pay dividends for years to come. Sure, you may have to change the year on your design, but that’s a small task for good returns.
Every spring college students turn their eyes to the future. With visions of grad school or job interviews in their heads, the graduation ceremony stands as the single biggest celebration of achievement each student has experienced to this point in their lives (with hopefully many more to come). Many students are proud of this accomplishment and want to tell the world “Look what I did” by displaying it proudly across a t-shirt or hoodie.
This time of year, we are inundated with searches for graduation designs. We find that designs that are customizable (ones that enable the student to add his or her name, the year, the name of the school or their area of study) are very popular with new grads. If you check out the Marketplace, you’ll see some designs that you can use for inspiration such as Keep Calm and Graduate, and Thanks, Wikipedia!, but as we said, we find it a good idea to create designs that can be adapted for each student’s discipline.
Take a look around the Marketplace and throw you design hat into the ring. See if you can come up with some new-styled designs to take advantage of a market that is sure to return year after year. Here’s a little hint: vintage-styled designs are doing very well. Just sayin’.
Do you sell graduation-themed designs? What kind of advice can you offer other designers who may be looking to capitalize on that niche market? Leave your comments below!
