In October, Print-on-Demand (POD) sellers have a golden opportunity to thrive with two major U.S. holidays: Columbus Day on October 9 and Halloween on October 31. Here's how to make the most of these occasions in under 250 words.

Columbus Day (October 9)

Columbus Day, a historical day for the U.S., brings families and friends together for picnics, BBQ parties, and hometown visits.

As a POD seller, cater to these activities by offering picnic essentials such as lawn signs, blankets, and drinkware, or travel gear like tumblers and tote bags.

Halloween (October 31)

Halloween is a retail powerhouse, with Americans spending $10.6 billion in 2022, $3 billion on candy alone.

As a POD seller, tap into this market by offering Halloween-themed apparel, from fun T-shirts to autumn essentials like hoodies and leggings. Kids' clothing is especially popular.

Transform homes into spooky havens with ornaments, wall art, tapestries, and doormats. Boost sales with fun extras like mugs, stickers, and greeting cards.

For successful designs:

  • Halloween Symbols: Incorporate classic symbols like pumpkins, ghosts, bats, and bones.
  • Halloween Colors: Use eerie shades of orange, black, and other spooky colors.
  • Quirky Quotes: Add witty, funny, or thought-provoking Halloween-themed quotes.

ENDING

In summary, October offers exciting opportunities for POD sellers. Keep your designs in line with the holiday spirit, and you'll enjoy a successful October. Happy selling!
