After a long and dreary winter, March is bringing spring. Spring carries a renewed desire to be outdoors, clean the house, and refresh everything about the home! Typical March trends are promoting home décor items and giving your customers fun ways to freshen up their space.
Some of the best products to sell in March include:
Pi Day is celebrated around the world every March 14th. It’s a fun way to combine education about Pi and eating pie! Pi is a constant value used in math and represents the circumference of a circle to its diameter. To top off this zany holiday, March 14th also happens to be Einstein’s birthday.
So how do people celebrate?
Many people wear fun T-shirts, drink out of a Pi-inspired mug, and of course, eat pie! Sweet or savory pie is the food of the day!
Mugs are always a popular seller online. Last year, GearLaunch sellers sold over 82,000 mugs! Put a fun Pi design on a mug and see your sales soar. Start inspiring customers early, so they have their Pi mug in time for the holiday.

One way to generate excitement about your jewelry designs is to create a limited-edition collection. Show off a variety of St. Patrick’s Day-inspired designs on bangles and necklaces.
