During the holiday season, people are always looking for festive clothing that shows off their spirit. Designing the right clothing can be difficult though if you don’t understand holiday trends and what really appeals to someone to purchase a specific piece of clothing. Take these tips in mind when you are looking to design a perfect Christmas t-shirt.
Festivity
Designing a t-shirt for Christmas means that you’re going to have to understand what really makes the holiday. This can entail Christmas colors like red and green while utilizing famous mascots for the holiday like Santa or Rudolph. For those that need more on a shirt, think about having a positive message on your t-shirt like “Merry Christmas!” or “Happy Holidays!” that show others that you care about them. Like any other holiday, it’s important that your piece of clothing really shows up festivity
Uniqueness
Depending on how old a shopper is, they might have a wardrobe full of Christmas t-shirts already. To convince them to pick up a new one, you’re going to have to find a way to make your shirt unique from others. This can entail having a unique design to it that represents modern trends or even utilizing a specific type of t-shirt that most wouldn’t relate traditional Christmas t-shirts to. Designing your Christmas t-shirt around uniqueness is another way in ensuring that consumers purchase your shirt.
Trendy
Through this age of social media, more people care than ever about what others are wearing around them. Creating trendy clothing related to holidays can be difficult but this can be done by breaking around traditional Christmas trends while still utilizing some resemblance of the holiday like specific colors. Ensure that the shirt you’ve created is trendy once you’re done with it by posting it on your social media page and asking for honest feedback on if it’s perfect or if they know anything that can be done to tweak it. While this shirt might not last in wardrobes forever, you’re likely to profit more off a shirt that’s trendy for now.
Quality
Having a higher quality design means that you’re going to want to produce the shirts on high-quality blanks. However, you may be swayed away based on the money you could save by choosing a t-shirt with lower quality material. You must stay with the high-quality blanks as you’re likely to get more customers over time purchasing your shirt as they know it’s a design they can wear a long time without having the shirt fall apart. Ensure that whatever shirts you produce is high-quality in terms of materials used.
Appropriate
Every once in a blue moon, you may find a funny t-shirt that you would wear under certain conditions like hanging out at home rather than going out in public wearing it. Designing a funny Christmas shirt means that you’re going to want to tie the lines in between creating something funny without being too inappropriate. You’ll want to make sure that your shirt is appropriate as a business might not want to sell something that parents complain about. Along with having to deal with complaints, you’re likely not going to sell that shirt as much since people are worried about the potential response if they wear that shirt in public along with groups of people that can’t even wear it out in the first place like children. Always consider how appropriate your Christmas t-shirt is before you end up producing it.
Sizing
Depending on the design of your shirt, it might only look good on certain sized shirts. You must design around all different sizes as you’re going to want to make sure that your shirt can be worn by anybody who likes the design. Without keeping sizing in mind, large businesses like Walmart and Target might not offer your shirt given that they want shirts anyone can wear. Think about size-agnostic designs whenever designing t-shirts for the public.
