The existence of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vexels.com\/blog\/10-best-print-on-demand-platforms-in-2018-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">print-on-demand platforms<\/a><\/span> in recent years has expanded the possibilities for online marketers, who can more than ever cater to specific products to specific audiences.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vexels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/retro-birthday.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"643\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/retro-birthday.jpg 900w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/retro-birthday-300x177.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/retro-birthday-768x452.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to Prepare for Black Friday<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fill up your slots (for Merch by Amazon) as soon as possible<\/strong>. Having your slots filled is a great way to show Amazon how bad you want to sell and make money with them, so they&#8217;ll more likely to promote you to the next tier level, giving you even more products to sell.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focus on Evergreen designs<\/strong>. Holiday and seasonal designs are arguably the easiest topics to fall into when creating t-shirts at this point of the year, but think about it: if you&#8217;re giving birthday or Christmas presents, you&#8217;ll buy a cool, funny and\/or awesome t-shirt for a friend or family member, not a &#8220;Christmas Santa&#8221; design, right? Apply this to your T-shirt business mindset and you&#8217;ll quickly find that hobbies and passions are the way to go in terms of design for this Season.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add &#8220;Black Friday&#8221; to your listings<\/strong>.
