Trending. You hear the word everywhere, these days. This is trending; that is trending. Trending upward; trending downward. Heck, even Google has a trending application to keep you up on the buzz-worthy terms, topics and trends of the day.
Where trending is important for you is in your Shop strategy. Staying in the know of trending topics, designs and products is a highly beneficial means of tailoring your Shop’s offerings to the masses. We’ve compiled the top 10 hottest Marketplace search terms from the summer and have even thrown in what’s hot on Google and some suggestions for the future. Have a look!

Five Things to Consider for the Fall
- October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Show your support for a loved one and get behind this great cause.
- It’s NFL football season! Player and team-related designs always do well.
- Major League Baseball playoffs are soon. See #1
- October 1st is World Vegetarian Day. Cute and clever veggie designs not only sell well, they taste good too!
- Halloween!
- Keep in mind…. Dog-related designs are always very popular. Even though National Dog Day has come and gone (August 26th), our furry friends always do very well on our Marketplace.

Hello Jay,
many thanks for your feedback! It´s always very interesting to find out what you guys really like and what is helpful for you. Currently we´re offering the “top seach terms & trending topics” regularly every 2-3 months. But we can check if it´s possible to provide you the information with greater frequency in the future. Regarding the best selling products: also a good hint! We published at the beginning of this year the following article which could be interesting for you: https://www.spreadshirt.com/blog/2015/02/17/sales-trends-popular-products-in-season/ and additionally in our upcoming newsletters are more analysis articles.
Best regards,
Leila from Spreadshirt
Helpful Article. I’ve used the T-shirt trends in the past and it’s been somewhat helpful in sales conversions. Perhaps a weekly or bi-weekly blog about t-shirt trends would assist sellers in getting “hot” or desired products to the marketplace faster. That could be a win win for everyone.
I like the insight about “Five Things to Consider for the Fall”. This will allow sellers to be proactive when planning their sales.
Maybe a list of best selling products that match the best selling designs could be added to the blog.
Keep up the Great work!
Thanks – Jay
Great Article! I’ve read previous trending related articles and have modified my products to match the list. The response has been somewhat positive as far as sales are concerned. Maybe a weekly or bi-weekly “trending report” could help get this valuable information to sellers faster.
You could also add Top Selling products related to these trends. For Example, “Cancer Awareness designs sell best on Pink Bella Flowy Tank Tops”.
Thanks,
Jay
