November Holidays and Product/Marketing Ideas

November is generally a quieter month for eCommerce due to the holiday season, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of some key marketing opportunities. Our November 2022 Print-On-Demand Trends Report takes a look at some of the latest trends and ideas in the industry to help you make the most of this slower period. In terms of products, we’ve seen a trend toward more personalized and unique items.

November 2022 Print-On-Demand Trends

November 11: Veterans Day

This holiday is an excellent opportunity to show your support for the men and women who have served our country. Veterans Day is typically a time for family gatherings and parades, so consider creating custom products that can be used as decorations or gifts. This is a day to remember and honor those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom, so make sure your products reflect that sentiment.

Product Inspiration

A Veterans day calls for a more sentimental approach to product design. Consider using patriotic colors and imagery, or create a design that can be personalized with a name or message. The Customizable Patriotic Ceramic Mug is our top pick! With just a name, rank, or message you can easily personalize.

To market your phone cases and ceramic ornaments, we recommend using a Cyber Monday sale banner e.g. “Cyber Monday Sale – 20% Off All Phone Cases!” You can also offer discounts for multiple purchases, or for signing up for your email list. For ceramic ornaments, consider running a holiday photo contest – people love taking photos with their Christmas trees, and they’ll be happy to share them if they have a chance to win a prize.
