Custom Product Ideas for Thanksgiving Merch
Thanksgiving may not be as popular as Christmas or Halloween, but there are still plenty of custom merch opportunities!
Everyone seems to forget all about Thanksgiving in the rush between Halloween and Christmas, but there is money to be made during this holiday too—and not just on Black Friday. Families gather from all over to celebrate Thanksgiving, and for many families, this holiday is the only time all year when they get to see each other. So it’s a time for them to exchange small thoughtful gifts right before the biggest gift-gifting time of the season.
If you have a brick-and-mortar store or an online store, selling Thanksgiving-themed products can make you stand out from your competition (because everyone focuses on Christmas). Popular stores like Target and World Market sell Thanksgiving-themed merch for a reason, and you can too!
In this post, we’ll run through a few of our favorite custom-made Thanksgiving products you can make here at THE/STUDIO, from patches to cufflinks. At the end of each entry, be sure to click “Learn More” to learn a bit more about each type of custom product.
