Merch by Amazon is now available for the 2 new markets: United Kingdom and Germany. You will find a dropdown at your market section in your dashboard, which lets you select the markets (com.uk or .com.de). These 2 markets will open up to many opportunities, also challenges will be coming.

Merch by Amazon UK – DE market availability

On July 31st, Amazon announced the open of  the UK – Germany markets for Merch by Amazon Program. This means, you can sell your designed T-shirts to people in 2 new areas. If you’ve already had a Merch by Amazon account, you may already be activated for these 2 markets, or you will need to wait for it. There’s no way to actively activate this for your account, as the same as PopSockets and Amazon Marketing Services, Amazon will activate on a rolling basis, not in a bulk. There are some people got these activated and get some sales from them. As mention above, you can switch from the 3 markets (US .com – UK .com.uk and Germany .com.de) and upload designs for each of them. The royalties apply the same for all. Here is the message from Amazon:

“We are excited to announce that Merch by Amazon is live in Germany (www.amazon.de) and the United Kingdom (www.amazon.co.uk)! We will enable accounts on a rolling basis and will notify Content Creators via email when their accounts have been approved. When an account is enabled for these new marketplaces, options to select them will become available in the product creation process. Note that we will not be able to provide updates on approvals for individual accounts. Please review our updated Content Policy and FAQs for additional information.”
– Amazon

Opportunity – Challenge

New markets, mean new customer range, a new land to explore and extract. This will also reduce the competitive rate from the default US market, draw more attention away from it. Moreover, in the UK and Germany market, they have many differences in cultures and trends, which enable you to get the very best out of it.

Nonetheless, you will need to get adapted to the new customer range, new trend, new culture and you could be doing it wrong. There’s always be a time to adapt to the new lands and adjust your design to match their desires. The culture of the UK seems to be very, very distinguished from the US. To exploit the new markets, you will need a lot of preparation and learning to earn money from it.

Last Words

New markets are always both Opportunity and Challenge. You will need to overcome the challenge and seize the opportunity to get success with Merch by Amazon. In my opinion, this is a very big update, and good for both Amazon and T-shirt content creators. The Merch by Amazon service will spread out even more, more populated and well-known. That, it’s the time we T-shirt content creators get benefits from.

Amazon Marketing Services – or AMS you must have heard. This newly service of Amazon gives you tons of potential opportunities to get success with Amazon in general, and Merch by Amazon in specific. In short, it’s like a mini-version of Google Ads, but better. While Google Ads run on Google.com itself and many, many more places within millions of webs, Amazon Marketing Services run on Amazon only, not only texts but also pictures included, and the effectiveness is not so far behind. Let’s dive deeper into the detail.

What is Amazon Marketing Services?

Amazon Marketing Services is a Marketing System which allows you to run and targeted ads to reach specific range of audiences/customers. It also bases on keyword searched, CPC (Cost per click), budgets, and your visual assets (pictures, images). These ads will trigger when the customer search for something on Amazon via the search engine. Sounds simple, pretty much like Google Ads. Every month Amazon has millions of traffic, and with Amazon Marketing Services, you can make some good use of them. Luckily, it’ve just launched for Merch by Amazon either, which mean if you currently are a Merch by Amazon content creator, you can join the Amazon Marketing Services program. However, not that everyone can access Amazon Marketing Services at once. Same as Merch by Amazon, you will need to wait for approval to get in. Hurry up and register it right now here:

Start Amazon Marketing Services

What’s good to join Amazon Marketing Services?

First of all, you can legally run ads and target your specific customer range on Amazon. We all know that the amounts of Amazon customer is huge and we can direct them to our products. So your first benefit always is increase in your product sales and conversions. The effectiveness, it’s up to your content and your budget.

Second, you will have the access to the Amazon searched keyword system, at least a part of it. Amazon won’t show you the whole board, like Cost-per-click (CPC), Impressions, Conversion Rate (CR), Volume, Clicks, etc. They will only suggest you the most effective, most relevant keywords to your campaign, your ads and contents. Also, a suggested bid is coming along. Thus, you can have a bigger picture of Amazon Market, and quit the Keyword guessing game (so tired of that game tbh). This not only improves the efficiency of your ads, but also is the material which you can use to improve your listing for your own products. Imagine you are running ads with these keywords and also on your products also was optimized using the same ones, your listing and your ads will surely appear of the top search page for any targeted customers!

There is more! Amazon Marketing Services can also give you other similar products on the platform, let you learn, adapt and improve yourself. I know they are your rivals, but you can learn from them to do better than them. It’s time to dominate the market!

Also, the Amazon Marketing Services is very budget-friendly. It gives you periodic business report and help you evaluate the efficiency and tweak your campaigns to meet your needs. You have the control of your budget threshold at anytime, even the running ads. And Amazon only charges you when customers clicked or interacted with your ads. Moreover, it gives you an user-friendly, simple yet awesome dashboard to have the best overview on all of your campaigns. With this, you can completely control everything: observe impression, CR, sales, add or remove keywords, adjust bidding or budgets, etc.

What’s the drawback?

Time, the first thing that holds you back is time, surprisingly not money. Why? Because same as Merch by Amazon, you will need to enter a hell of registrations, document verification, and finally: the Approval from Amazon. It could take a few days if you’re lucky enough. Or weeks, or months, even a year sadly that’s the truth. So clearly you will be being held back by time.

The second thing: Your wallet, your budget, your money. The “campaign budget starts at just $100”. Well that’s what I’ve heard, and I doubt that you cannot reduce your budget lower that this milestone. It’s not a big deal for a corporation or big businesses, but for the smaller one that’s could be troublesome. Well, it’s up to you to run it or leave it. Your call, pals.

Some people got in and already talking about, we can stay tuned for more updates while this game becomes more popular.

Final words

Amazon Marketing Services has opened a gateway for all user of Merch by Amazon to advertise their own stuffs on Amazon with campaign, ads and keywords optimization. This is a huge chance for all Merch by Amazon users out there to promote their on T-shirts in the most effective way. The Most Effective Way. It also help you with listing, keywords and give you a quick view on Amazon keyword data. However, it does not cost cheaply and it will take a while to be invited in. Start your request today and get in the program as soon as possible!

Do you want just only a half of the picture, or the complete picture of the Merch market?

Hello everyone, towards us the merchants of Merch by Amazon, it’s compulsory, important, extremely necessary to research the market and aware of every aspect of it. In every war, it’s not that guns and ammo or fighting jet are the best weapons, but Information is. You have the intel, you win the war. So, how do we get the intel and how can we get it best? The answer is Merch by Amazon research tools. We all know that the biggest tool in the industry is Merch Informer, and our SpyAMZ had just entered the market unknowingly. Most of the reviews and feedbacks are the price is way too higher than Merch Informer. It’s true, we have no reputation but charged for that high, our trusted score will be incredibly low. Therefore, today I will show you the differences between Merch Informer vs SpyAMZ. I will completely be honest in this post about the strengths and weaknesses of both, not gonna flatter our own tool. I just want to prove that SpyAMZ worths $99/month.

The same in the two

Both of the tools provide useful search, latest items, and data of Merch by Amazon items. Therefore, users can easily navigate and manage the data to find the most suitable keywords x designs for themselves. Not only that, the two tools also give users the ability to avoid trademarks with TM checking/alerts. The nicest thing is the data of Top Bestseller items. Learning from the successors is one of the best ways in Merch.

Did you run out of idea? SpyAMZ and Merch Informer can give you some advice and suggestion over keywords by Analytics and Finder. If you love something, they can also help you bookmark the items and observe its change by providing detailed data and useful charts. No place for handy record anymore, they both run everything and track down stuff even while you are sleep. Also, they both provide image resizer for your artwork and design, saving lots of time.

The Differences

The Designs

The first thing I want to make clear is the design of these two. After logging in, Merch Informer brings you to the dashboard which contains all their professional tutorial videos. While SpyAMZ brings you to the statistic page where displays all the numbers about Merch by Amazon market today.

In my opinion, Merch Informer set up their items in rows will reduce the numbers of T-shirts observed and the designs on the T-shirts are pretty small to see. While SpyAMZ removed the T-shirt frame and just capture the design only, put them in a grid layout and emphasized the rank changes.

Merch Hunter

This is the most important part of every Merch by Amazon Research tool. This listed all the bestselling items via Merch by Amazon.

Merch Informer divided into many tabs: Merchant Search, Merch Hunter, Trend Hunter.

SpyAMZ integrated them all in to 1 tab only: Products

Merch Informer

Good: Search for all the lowest Best Seller Ranked items. Easy to search and exclude keywords by adding (-) before the words. The search page stays the same, with Results Data, Last Searches, Actions, Keywords Count, and Bestseller items on Merch by Amazon.

You can also check for rank change graphs when click on the item’s actions.

Bad: Poor rank filter, no time filter, no product types filter, no Official/Unofficial, Alive/Dead/All filters. No Sudden BSR increase filter. Doesn’t display the dead T-shirts. The only way to find dead T-shirts is to search for that item exactly. And the dead T-shirts has nothing to distinguish from the alive ones. No Save Query feature for better search each day.

It doesn’t show the items automatically, you will have to press Search to have items displayed. The ranks of Merch Informer is not emphasized, hard to recognize. No rank change indicator, no rank change percentages. The result was limited to top 1000.

My personal opinion about the Row Layout of items: it’s hard to see the design, hard to observe the whole results, to much abundant information which can be hidden. There’s no option to change into Grid Layout.

Merch Informer doesn’t have single detailed page for their items, the link will lead to Amazon product page instead.

With this limitation of the search feature, Merch Informer only provides a half of the picture.

SpyAMZ

Good: Advanced filter: Time, Rank, Product Types, Official/Unofficial filter, Keyword Exclude, Status filter. You can display Alive, Dead or All (Alive + Dead) T-shirt in the Products tab. You can exclude items from Official brands (Marvel, Disney, Star Wars, Shane Dawson,…) to avoid confusion.

SpyAMZ contains many preset: Trends, Best Seller Rank, Sudden BSR Increase, Date first available, etc. You are free to filter and shrink the search pool. The result is unlimited.

For example, you can search for “Unicorn” T-shirts that don’t have “Birthday”, Ranked from 1 to 200,000, first available within a month, Unofficial, and Alive only. You can search for Has all word,  At least 1 word, Same order or Match phrase, up to you.

Greater than that, you can save this search query and you can check back tomorrow, if you save queries with time filter like 1 week, the date period will auto move to the day of exact 1 week, not a fixed date. Therefore, you can easily check SpyAMZ everyday with your super creative complex queries.

The ranks of SpyAMZ was colorized: Green for up, Red for down. It also has the rank changes percentage next to it. Also, the number of search results is unlimited. If you do not enter any search criteria, it will show you the whole 10M+ T-shirts database.

You can switch between Grid layout and Rows layout. Click on the image to show the detailed board with graphs for the items. Click on the name of the item will take you to the detail page of that items, including all information: Rank, price, types, brand, description, graph, similar design.

SpyAMZ has no limit in search, the results are always completely displayed for users, giving you the whole complete picture of Merch by Amazon.

Bad: No Trademark checking at the search page, no detailed results data, only results amounts, no reviews for items in the search pages.

Search Examples

I’ve made some search examples with both the tools and Merch Informer didn’t provide the full results as SpyAMZ did. The searches from Merch Informer always give limited or partially missing search results, causing data loss and inaccurate decision. Therefore, the trusted score of Merch Informer is not as high as SpyAMZ, for sure.

Searched for “Unicorn” products:
Merch Informer: 100 results
SpyAMZ: 65,282 results

Searched for “Daddy” products:
Merch Informer: 100 results
SpyAMZ: 35,663 results

Searched for “Disney” merchant:
Merch Informer: 16 results
SpyAMZ: 3,541 results

Searched for “Marvel” products:
Merch Informer: 178 results
SpyAMZ: 4,414 results

Merchant search

Merch Informer has a separate tab for Merchant Search, while SpyAMZ integrated this right in the big Products tab. The results amounts of SpyAMZ is WAY BIGGER than Merch Informer’s. For example, I searched for Disney on Merch Informer, only 15 results. Meanwhile on SpyAMZ, there are 548 Disney Merch by Amazon T-shirts.

Same as the search below, I searched for Marvel brand in both the tools. To search for brands in SpyAMZ, type “brand: XXX” (XXX is the brand, you don’t need to hit Enter, SpyAMZ will auto search when you’re done typing).

Good: Merch Informer provides a full detail of results data, last search, and some other actions. They display the items in rows, with full details, price, rank, ASIN, description, and all the actions with the item (Mark for favorites, Trademark checking, details with graphs, Report infringement). They even display keywords counts in search results.

Bad: Merch Informers row layouts will reduce the observing efficiency of users, reduce their visions on overall items. Some data and information are not so necessary to display, taken too many places. The Results amounts are pretty low, only 16 items for Marvel.

Good: SpyAMZ provides the result amounts, friendly organized and easy-to-track layouts, and many filters for you to shrink the search pool. The rank was marked with green or red to show the changes. The result amounts were also displayed on the top right corner.

You can use many filters and query to shrink the search pool and find yourself the best designs. If you are looking for details of each product, simply click on the image, it will show you all of it, including ranking graphs. SpyAMZ provides 586 results in Marvel search, way larger than Merch Informer. The result also is not limited.

Bad: No action to check trademark right at the search page, no Report Infringement feature. No keywords count in the search page.

Product Search

Merch Informer

Good: Same as Merchant search, they provide results data, last searches, keyword counts and items in rows. Fully detailed with descriptions, ranks, price, reviews, etc. The search box has a drop-down to suggest keywords and phrases. You’ll have actions like mark favorite, check TM, report infringement.

Bad: Result limited at 100 items, no filters for the search pool. The row layouts again limited our visions and observations. No ASIN search available.

SpyAMZ

Good: The grid layouts, the advanced filters. You can also search for ASIN, Phrase, keywords with many search mode: Has all words, At least 1 word, Same order, or Match phrase. If you don’t like the Grid layout, you can change to the Row layout on the top right corner. There’s no limit in the search results.

Bad: No dropdown for search suggestion, no reviews, no Trademark checking at the search page, no last searches.

Trend Hunter

Merch Informer

Good: It provides you Movers and Shakers, the tracker that find any item has its rank rises suddenly dramatically. Also, Merch Informer does have display mode: Daily, Weekly and Monthly. Each row has its own ranking graph, product reviews, basic information (ASIN, Price, BSR)

Bad: Limited 500 search results, hard to see the designs, no advanced filter for the trending items, no mark to indicate which one is trending.

SpyAMZ

Good: SpyAMZ integrated this right into the product tabs, named Sudden Increase and Trends preset.

The Sudden Increase items are the ones that have rank risen dramatically, like 90% – 99%.  This filter only considers rank rising percentage.

The Trending items are the ones that have the lowest BSR, and the rank has risen more than 20%. This is like the Sudden Increase items but also consider the lowest BSR. All the trending items ranked < 100,000 will have a lightning mark. You can easily recognize the latest trend on Amazon by searching for Trending items + time filter 1 week + rank < 100,000.

If you like graphs, switch to Row layout or click on the image, it will show up. SpyAMZ also provides unlimited results.

Bad: No Daily, Weekly, Monthly scale, no results data and other indicators.

Favorite

Merch Informer

Good: Categorized Favorites, where you can select a category to display your bookmarked items within that category, You can change, rename, or delete the category. Also, it’s possible to move an item to another category.

Bad: No option for Category description, nowhere to store notes about those items saved under the category.

The Favorite marking process is quite complicated, you will have to go back to any search page, tick on the heart at the end of the item row. After you’re done clicking, you will have to scroll up and press the big button Add to favorites and choose a category for it.

Merch Informer doesn’t allow an item to be under multiple categories.

SpyAMZ

Good: Very easy to bookmark your favorites. Just go to the Products tab, hover to the image and click the red “Save” button. It will show you the list of the categories and you can tick on multiple. You can also create a new category right there

SpyAMZ Favorite categories have a field for description, you can also change the name and description any time.

Bad: No option to delete a category

Keywords

Merch Informer

Good: Including keywords on CafePress and Etsy, Google analytics indicators (Search volume, CPC, Competition). Has the feature to save keywords into favorite and let you track them later.

Bad: You will have to search for the keywords manually. There’s no option to show the most popular keywords in Merch by Amazon. No ranking range filter, merely to check competitive rate of keywords.

SpyAMZ

Good: Automatically show the most popular keywords on Merch by Amazon, listed the counts, has the rank range filter. You’re also able to search for keywords and found their counts.

SpyAMZ archives all the keywords status each day so you can easily change the date to the past to watch the older version of most popular keywords.

Bad: No advanced analytics indicators, no option to save keywords to track them later.

Trademark Checking

Merch Informer

Good: Indicator Safe (v) or Not Safe (x) with colorized. It checked for the whole phrase and have details button leading to the trademark checking site. All your searched phrases will be stored and you can delete it anytime. It also has the option for bulk checking trademarks (in case you want to update the status of the trademark license)

Bad: The process once again is pretty complicated. You will need to enter all of your search terms, separated by “Enter” then save them all. Then, you will hit the bulk Check Trademark button to check them all, including the old and new ones.

Merch Informer does not search for Trademarks in words separately, only the whole phrase, without trademark types.

Merch Informer uses Trademarkia to check trademarks

SpyAMZ

Good: Easy to search by just hit the search terms in and it will automatically display below. All your search will be stored and let you compare, or check them later.

SpyAMZ search for the whole phrase, partial phrase, and words separately, giving you the best result on Trademark checking. The terms are displayed in colors (Green and Red).

Click on the stored terms will bring you a window to lead you to Trademark checking site

It will have notifications if you have any unchecked Trademarked terms. SpyAMZ also have the feature to let you check the terms again, and let you know types of trademarks.

Bad: No option for bulk Trademark checking.

SpyAMZ uses the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) service to check trademarks

  • Statistics: SpyAMZ is always proud to be the LARGEST T-shirt database on Earth (10 MILLION and rising each hour). With the search results always overwhelmed compared to Merch Informer, you can search and spy for any T-shirt with SpyAMZ.

Final words on Merch Informer vs SpyAMZ

Both the tools are great, each has its own strengths and weaknesses which can be improved.

However, the giant amount of data from SpyAMZ can give you the best picture, completely of Merch by Amazon with no limit, and the database is growing every hour. Meanwhile, Merch Informer limited the search results and didn’t have such that large database. When you searched with Merch Informer, many items were missing, this might bring you data loss, misleading and poor decision making.

People still wonder why SpyAMZ was that expensive. The answer is SpyAMZ can give you the unlimited possibilities, unlimited search sessions, unlimited results which are not be LIMITED (100, 500, 1000 like Merch Informer). Do you like a row layout with full T-shirt frame that you hardly see the designs and the ranks have no emphasized, or a grid layout with full design look and colorized ranks?

Moreover, Merch Informer just simply show the results, you can do nothing with the search results. While SpyAMZ can CUSTOMIZE the results, shrink it, filter it, put in criteria to help you find the expected results (Advanced search filters)

The point is, SpyAMZ was made to help the users to get ALL they want with just a glance, friendly, easy to watch and track. It’s all about bringing the happiness for users while browsing the tool, so the UI/UX of SpyAMZ is optimized at their finest. On the other hands, Merch Informer’s purpose is bringing as much information as possible to users, even some of them are not necessary enough to appear directly on the search page.

It’s true that Merch Informer did have many great features such as Advanced Competition Check, Listing optimizer, an Advanced Designer system to draw, Archive and Cloud.

While SpyAMZ also has Events, Statistic, Image resizer, Finding Similar Designs.

We all hope you will find your best niche and catch the latest trends while following the Merch game. The last call is up to you, pals. Wish all the best for you 👍👍👍

People must have known about the incredible growth of Merchandise industry either Print-on-Demand field, with the largest name of Merch by Amazon. Merch sellers have no risk of: Inventory, storage, printing procedure, shipping, and return. What they need is extraordinary designs and promotion campaigns that drive their item sold.  However, there are more that people should be aware of apart from it. In fact, Merch by Amazon is not alone the Print-on-Demand platform out there. We also have Teespring and RedBubble. It’s good to know that now you can sell Merch items with Teespring vs Merch by Amazon, how great!

But first, we need to get to know the Merch game first.

Merch in a nutshell: Profit

The Print-on-Demand is one of the most profitable games on the digital market at this moment. There’s no need to worry about warehouse, storage, printing manufacturer, shipments or guarantee. It’s the place where you upload your designs and let people buy it, the hosted platform will take care all of the logistics. With each item sale, you will receive royalties from them. It’s indeed very profitable and less risky than any other industries.

In fact, while talking to Merch or Print-on-Demand, everybody is talking about Merch by Amazon. No doubt, that’s the world’s largest marketplace with holy super many traffics. However, although Merch by Amazon did have many Merch product categories like T-shirt, Long-sleeved, Hoodie, Sweatshirt, they focus too much on the only one: T-shirt. With other platforms, you will have more freedom to conquer other product types than follow the crowd to fight under the T-shirt category in Amazon.

But why today we are talking about Teespring, not Redbubble?

Teespring vs Merch by Amazon – the reason

Because Teespring has Boosted Network. It integrated some of the most engaged marketplaces across the web to get user’s products show up in front of millions of shoppers around the world.

(Source: Teespring)

And yeah it included Amazon. When you submitted your items on Teespring, you will have the option to let Teespring list them on other marketplaces. Your apparel products will show up on Amazon.com like many other Merch items. The advantage of this is you didn’t have to worry about the limit of Merch by Amazon. You can also be able to sell many things else apart from T-shirts.

Business with Merch by Amazon is exceptionally profitable since Day 1. But as time passes by, the competitive rate is rising and rising that one day could suffocate your income perhaps? Why don’t expand your working area, giving yourself more options? Teespring can, they offer the same model of platform, the same opportunity for your designs, risk-free and easy. Above all, Teespring is also the place for Accessories along with Apparel. You can design phone cases, socks, mugs, home decor, and many more clothing types like hoodies, sweatshirts, tank tops, shirts, etc.

Moreover, they have invested a lot in manufacturing part. Their products always have the best quality and satisfy the buyers. A few years ago, selling on Teespring could meet some struggles because of the lower traffic flow of Teespring compared to the super high flow of Amazon. Well no more, after they launched Boosted Network, that issue was solved flawlessly. Because Teespring items now could be listed on Amazon, there are more and more people come to Teespring, and your items now can join in those traffic flow on Amazon either.

Teespring – what products you can design

Right now, Teespring product categories have: Apparel. Home Decor, Socks, Phone Cases, Stickers, Mugs, and more. In there, Apparel contains many types of clothes, including:

  • T-shirts
  • Pocket T-shirt
  • Hoodies
  • Sweatshirts
  • Long-sleeved
  • Tank-tops

All of these are available for you to design for. You can have one item but listed all on other popular marketplaces, making it easier to get sales. Listing has never been this easy with Boosted Network of Teespring, especially Teespring vs Merch by Amazon integration.

How to work with Teespring vs Merch by Amazon?

Be advised after a year of running, now Teespring has set up some requirements to meet before they can publish your items on Boosted Network. I’ve heard that you will need to submit a good design based on Teespring Boosted Network Guidelines and maintain high seller trusted score. In fact, everyone can list their shirts on Teespring freely. However, what drives them sold is what matter. You might want to do research and build appropriate marketing campaigns to get success with Teespring vs Merch by Amazon.

First of all, you must do a Merch by Amazon research. What products are currently on sales on Amazon, the competitive rate, what is the trend of the market right now, and forecast the future changes.

Next step, you will need awesome designs with amazing work to surprise shopper at the first glance. Make sure that your designs are good enough to impress others and be one of a kind.

Finally, a Teespring account is a must. Well, we are working with Teespring to integrate with Merch by Amazon, either making a Teespring account is super easy,

Research Merch by Amazon market

Why do you have to do this? Why can’t you just upload anything you like to the platform and stay satisfied with them? The truth is a completely different story. To get things sold, you must discover what is currently selling best.

If you upload something you like, but others didn’t search for it, it would never get a sale. You must direct your work to the hottest items and blend yours into the flow. That guarantees you a higher chance of people buying it. The rest, must rely on your luck, keyword optimization and how impressive your design is.

To know what is currently selling hotly on Amazon, you must see their Best Seller Ranks (BSR) which indicate the places of those items on Amazon list. The better rank, the hotter they sell. Click on any T-shirt items and scroll down, you will find BSR

In order to know how to do Merch by Amazon research, check out this article and it will guide you from A to Z about everything. You will know how to find trends, ideas for Merch design, optimize keyword and avoid Trademark violation. I will write a short paragraph for this, you can always check the full article for more detail.

Search for best seller rank

SpyAMZ shows all the best seller rank of Merch by Amazon items in the smartest way, indicating ranks, names, and first available time. You can always filter them with advanced searching of SpyAMZ.

Or you can search for Sudden increased items, up to you 🙂

Keyword research

Check Trademark

You can search for keywords or phrases within SpyAMZ. If anything has trademark bound with it, it will glow red to inform you about it.

Create your awesome design

If you are a designer, then great! You can create your own awesome Shirts at no additional cost.

If you ain’t a designer, you can hire yourself a team to work with you and they could possibly give so many ideas for the designing. You know, more heads = more ideas. However, more people = harder management. Designs of the team might not match each other, and you will need more resources for them to use and extract. In general, people usually manage contents and ideas for design in a Text file or spreadsheet.

Nonetheless, it proves super hard to manage that way (time to write idea, capture design image, no link between real item with stored ideas…). SpyAMZ just released a new feature to store, manage all of your ideas in just one place, with titles, descriptions and related designs. This works fabulously for the design team:

teespring vs merch by amazon ideaIf you don’t want to hire anyone else, you should start learning to design now. I mean, right now. Amazon shirts are divided into 3 kinds:

  • Images, picture, vector only
  • Text only
  • Artwork combine both text, images,

You can start with the easiest one (Text only) and gradually moving to other kinds, extending your creativity. The most used programs to design artwork are Photoshop CC, Illustrator or GIMP. If you are not familiar with those, you can always get on Google and look for instruction. Gradually, your skills will improve and you can become Design Master one day 🙂

Bán áo Trademark với Merch Collab và cách đăng ký https://spyamz.com/gioi-thieu-merch-collab-va-cach-dang-ky/ https://spyamz.com/gioi-thieu-merch-collab-va-cach-dang-ky/#comments Wed, 23 May 2018 10:10:37 +0000 https://spyamz.com/?p=2218 The post Bán áo Trademark với Merch Collab và cách đăng ký appeared first on Merch by Amazon - SpyAMZ.

Amazon chơi lớn rồi! Họ vừa cho ra mắt “Merch Collab” vài giờ trước tại Licensing Expo diễn ra tại Las Vegas! Vậy Merch Collab là gì? Cách đăng ký như thế nào? Quá nóng hổi phải chia sẻ cho các bạn ngay lập tức.

Merch Collab là gì?

Hôm qua ngày 22/5, Licensing Expo hội tụ hàng nghìn thương hiệu, hãng sản xuất và người tham dự, trong đó có cả Amazon. Thật bất ngờ, họ công bố một nền tảng mới dành cho phép các thương hiệu lớn hoạt động cùng các cá thể kinh doanh nhỏ hơn mang tên “Merch Collab”. “Merch Collab” là một chương trình cho phép bạn sử dụng nguồn nội dung từ các thương hiệu và người nổi tiếng để thiết kế áo và submit lên Amazon.

Hiện tại, chương trình này chỉ đang áp dụng cho Merch by Amazon (MBA). Tuy nhiên, Amazon khẳng định họ đang “mở rộng quy mô” cho chương trình. Vậy nên hiện tại, chúng ta cứ nên bám sát vào MBA trước. Cụ thể, Merch Collab đang được áp dụng cho áo T-shirt, Hoodie và áo len (Sweatshirt).

Ngắn gọn:

  • Thương hiệu/Người nổi tiếng có thể đăng ký sử dụng Merch Collab và cho phép người khác sử dụng nội dung bản quyền của họ
  • Designer cũng có thể tham gia Merch Collab. Khi đã được chấp thuận vào chương trình, họ có thể sử dụng các nội dung bản quyền từ các thương hiệu ở trên để vẽ áo. Sau này Merch Collab sẽ mở rộng và áp dụng cho nhiều loại sản phẩm khác ngoài áo.
  • Nhà sản xuất hiện tại không có mặt trong mảng áo Merch by Amazon, thế nên Merch Collab cũng chưa có đất dụng võ. Tuy nhiên các bạn vẫn có thể apply chiếm 1 slot, Amazon sẽ mở rộng phạm vi hoạt động sang mảng sản xuất của bạn.
Merch Collab hoạt động như thế nào?

Các thương hiệu (Brand) và Designer đăng ký vào chương trình Merch Collab

Các Brand thiết lập điều khoản sử dụng content và upload content lên hệ thống

Designer xài các content đó để vẽ và submit ngược lại cho Brand

Brands phê duyệt thiết kế và chạy quảng bá cho sản phẩm của mình

Cả hai bên được nhận lợi tức từ doanh thu sản phẩm

Chương trình này kết nối các Brand, Designer và nhà sản xuất với nhau. Họ có thể sử dụng các nội dung bản quyền để thiết kế và kiếm được nhiều sale hơn, cả hai đều được lợi tức từ doanh thu.

Hiện tại, Amazon đang trong quá trình chấp nhận các đơn đăng ký từ các Brand, Designer và nhà sản xuất. Bạn có thể đăng ký ngay tại đây:

Theo như trang chủ của Merch Collab: “Chúng tôi đang hướng tới tất cả thương hiệu, bao gồm các thương hiệu giải trí lớn, âm nhạc, sản phẩm tiêu dùng và thậm chí cả các social influencer” (những người nổi tiếng trong lĩnh vực mạng xã hội) Lưu ý rằng những influencer ít nhất cần 100.000 người theo dõi để tham gia.”

Tính tới thời điểm này, đã có vài brand/influencer đang hoạt động trên Merch Collab.Đó là Neil deGrasse TysonShane DawsonAnnoying OrangeRick and Morty, và Impractical Jokers.

Trademark và Copyright

Sự thật là, Amazon sở hữu TẤT CẢ các thiết kế đi ra từ Merch Collab, dù chúng có nội dung bản quyền từ các Brand khác. Tuy nhiên, các Brand hoàn toàn có thể mua lại từ Amazon các thiết kế đó, với mức giá từ $5.000 đến $100.000.

Hiện nay với Merch by Amazon, các designer có thể upload thiết kế của mình lên hệ thống và quảng bá sản phẩm đó của mình để hàng bán chạy. Tuy nhiên họ không thể sử dụng các nội dung bản quyền vào trong thiết kế, việc đó bị coi là vi phạm bản quyền và hàng sẽ bị chó (xóa) ngay. Là một người làm Merch, mình cũng chứng kiên ti tỉ ý tưởng áo chết thảm thương không thể lên thiết kế vì vấn đề bản quyền, điều này đang gò bó toàn bộ cộng đồng designer của Merch by Amazon.

Thông thường, bạn sẽ phải liên lạc với các brand để xin quyền sử dụng nội dung bản quyền đó. Check ngay tại mục FAQ cho Merch by Amazon ở đây. Điều này nghe có vẻ bất khả thi cho các cá nhân nhỏ lẻ khi phải liên lạc với các bố trùm khủng bố trên thế giới.

Yên tâm, giờ đây đã có Merch Collab. Đây là một bước tiến tiến bộ của Amazon nhằm giải quyết rào cản này. Các designer có thể dễ dàng thiết kế các mẫu có sử dụng hàng bản quyền một cách dễ dàng. Nên nhớ, tất cả các thiết kế có sử dụng nội dung bản quyền từ Brand của bạn CHỈ ĐƯỢC PHÉP sử dụng tại Merch Collab, không cho phép bạn upload sang bất cứ hệ thống nào khác.

Vì sao PHẢI tham gia Merch Collab?

Mình dùng từ PHẢI bởi vì bây giờ, Amazon đã “mở cửa” cho các bạn chơi hàng Trademark rồi, vì vậy họ hy vọng sẽ quy hết tất cả hàng TM về 1 mối (Merch Collab). Cho nên, đối với hàng áo Merch thường, chính sách TM sẽ bị thắt chặt ngắc ngứ luôn và đừng hòng chơi trò lách luật đánh áo TM với Amazon. Cố quá thành quá cố, cũng chỉ khổ bay màu cái acc tiền triệu.

i want you to join merch collab

Thế nên, tốt nhất là mọi người nên hướng hết tất cả hàng TM vào Merch Collab, đừng để đến lúc chết cũng không biết chữ chết viết thế nào 🙂 🙂 🙂

Lợi tức và định giá

Merch Collab có lợi tức khác hẳn so với Merch by Amazon:

merch collab royalties

Tổng lợi tức sẽ được chia cho cả 2 bên Brand và Designer. Chia làm 3, Brand ăn 2 phần, Designer ăn 1 phần.

Bạn có thể đăng ký Merch Collab ngay lúc này. Bên cạnh đó, nhớ rằng hãy sử dụng cùng một email với Merch by Amazon và Seller Central để đăng ký nhé. Hiện tại đang có khá nhiều người nước ngoài report bug Merch Collab báo không trùng email của 2 hệ thống kia (dù dùng đúng), dẫn đến bị tắc ở khâu đăng ký. Bạn nên thử lại sau đó một thời gian và khi hết bug, bạn có thể hoàn thành khâu đăng ký nhanh chóng.

Tham gia Merch Collab không mất phí. Nhưng mà, bạn cần có một tài khoản Amazon Seller Central để quản lý tất cả mọi thứ: xem và duyệt thiết kế, thiết lập chỉnh sửa brand, chạy ads trên Amazon, đưa chính hàng của mình lên bán, vân vân vũ vũ. Lưu ý, tài khoản Amazon Seller Central có TÍNH PHÍ $39.99/tháng và các phí phụ khác. Và cuối cùng, Amazon là người quyết định giá bán hàng cuối cùng của bạn. Lợi tức sẽ được chia dựa trên giá bán cuối cùng đó.

Lời cuối dành cho Merch Collab

Merch Collab mở ra một chân trời mới cho các designer được chạm tới mảnh đất nội dung bản quyền màu mỡ mà họ hằng ao ước. Các Brand upload các nội dung đó và thiết lập chính sách sử dụng. Sau đó, các designer được tham gia Merch Collab sẽ sử dụng những nội dung đó để thiết kế và submit ngược lại cho Brand. Brand duyệt và quảng bá sản phẩm. Sản phẩm ăn sale, cả 2 bên ăn tiền.

Giờ đây, Merch Collab chỉ áp dụng cho hàng Merch by Amazonis: T-shirts, Hoodies và Sweatshirts. Amazon có kế hoạch mở rộng phạm vi của chương trình trong tương lại không xa. Hiện tại, họ đang trong quá trình chấp thuận các đơn đăng ký. bạn có thể đăng ký ngay tại đây. Chúc may mắn cả nhà :>

Merch by Amazon really is a breakthrough gold mine for those use it wisely. Started back in 2015, after 3 years growing rapidly, the service has become very famous among Amazon sellers, merchants and people who want to populate their brands. In general, some people simply see it as a place to upload your T-shirt designs and sell them via Amazon. However, Merch by Amazon is more than that outside look. Today, let’s find out what is Merch by Amazon and what’s made of.

Sir, what is Merch by Amazon?

Good question. Merch by Amazon is a place where you can upload your designs, Amazon will produce the product based on sales demand and your designs, then ship them to the customers who bought it on Amazon.com. Your designs can be: T-shirts, Hoodies, Sweaters, Long-sleeves, Short-sleeves, Shirts…

This is a print-on-demand service, which means they print the t-shirt after the sale was made. Amazon will handle the production procedure, also the logistic process and storage, you won’t need to worry about products, materials, factory, warehouse, tailors, unsold stuff or any of them. It’s risk-free (or at least very-tiny-small risks). The only thing’s gonna waste you is time and your thinking brain.

In short for TL-DR:

  • You upload your T-shirt design and set the price.
  • Amazon approves it, making it as an Amazon product.
  • People buy it.
  • Amazon makes it, ships it to people.
  • You have the money. Sounds fun!

“Easiest money I’ve ever made.”

merch by amazon

But not that easy. Your T-shirts will be one of the Amazon products, among millions of others. Which means to survive in the crowd, it will require pricing, product description, categories, even marketing campaigns for it, and more. Amazon handled the backend logistic, shipping, but to get your stuff sold, it’s up to yourself.

You can easily distinguish Merch by Amazon products from others by the following indicators:

  • The listing will always have a sizing chart.
  • There will be a visible white tag on the main image.
  • There won’t be a person wearing the shirt in the primary photos of the listing.
  • [Unofficial] Have this line in the product description: “Lightweight, Classic fit, Double-needle sleeve and bottom hem”

What's good of selling with Merch by Amazon?

There are some other T-Shirt print-on-demand services out there, like CafePress and Zazzle. However, they do not have such giant pool of designing materials and professional customer service like Merch by Amazon. I am not sure about the exact amount of their items, but it’s more than 8 millions.

Branding with Amazon is great. Once you sold items via Merch, Amazon will keep your brand online and show it to many places on the site, helping populate your brand’s name effortlessly.

Also, Merch by Amazon helps your team reach further and interact with the larger pool of customers that you’ve never imagined before. This is one of the best benefits come from Merch by Amazon.

Not only that, your items published via Merch by Amazon are likely to have Amazon Prime tag along and it will be displayed with other best merchants on the platform, increasing your brand’s popularity and trust. Moreover, your T-shirts can aim to the A-Class customers of Amazon – the Primers, having the better chance for sales.

As I’ve mentioned above, Amazon covers the producing and shipping process, so you do not need to worry about finding a manufacturer and a shipper of yourself. So your cost, risk and time of running the business will be minimized and even earns you a hell of money. Woohoo!

Such tempting! I want to get started with Merch by Amazon now

That’s the spirit! Let’s go Merching with us, I will guide you step-by-step what to do and what to take care of when doing business with Merch by Amazon.

Merch by Amazon is easy, risk-free and beneficial indeed. Be caution, there must be always some drawbacks. Your T-shirts should be treated as an Amazon product, which means they will fight against millions of others on the platform, so what you need to do will clearly be:

  1. Grab the hottest and most trending ideas and turn them into T-shirt. Ideas are what that counts at Merch by Amazon;
  2. Set the price for the items;
  3. Build a description based on Amazon requirements;
  4. Make it as creative and attractive as possible, suit best for SEO;
  5. Run effective Marketing campaigns for them. You will need to be wise and smart on this field to do it right.

You’d better spend your time on these works when Merching. Now let’s go deep and start your journey.

“To Merch by Amazon, and Beyond”

I. Get yourself an Invitation

To sell anything, the first thing you need is an account for merchants/sellers. To get it, please request an Invitation at Merch by Amazon. Amazon will sort out everything and send you an official Invitation to join their Merch. It’s up to your luck. No one can tell exactly the time you will get the invitation, might be a few days, or even months. Nonetheless, everyone gets their invitation.

To request one, please follow this friendly orange button and click “Request Invitation“. Fill in your information and kindly wait for the response.

II. Unleash your creativity

In the meantime waiting, step forth ahead. Be active and collect all the ideas, hottest trends you can mine and turn them into T-shirts. Remember to personalize your own items, spread your own culture.

It’s good to have your own opinion about fun, trend and idea, but to stand brightly among other, you must learn from the opponents. This will increase the chance your T-shirt having sales.

First of all, you must make clear of these factors:

  1. Your Keywords and look-alikes, comes from your ideas and hottest trends;
  2. Relevant T-shirts are selling on Amazon, analyze them;
  3. Your targeted customer areas and audiences;
  4. Your style, directions, purposes and niches;
  5. Trademark and Copyright checking, don’t get yourself killed right at the first place;
  6. Other competitors: the sellers with the same niche.

There are a lot of ways catching trends and ideas:

  • Traditional way: Surfing hundreds of pages of Amazon T-shirt and find yourself as many ideas as you can. This proves not so good efficiency and the rate of return is also low, you cannot observe the item ranks either. However, this way is free.
  • Merching Service: Use a 3rd party service to collect the images, ranks, available date, price, categories, pricing charts, ranking charts, and many other useful data. They also come with the huge pool of T-shirt items which was mined from Amazon platform. What you need is just log into the service and roam for ideas and trends. However, this costs.

We have several Merching service out there, such as SpyAMZ, MerchInformer, MerchSensei. Above all, SpyAMZ proves exceptional performance with fast data mining speed , a giant pool of T-shirts, up to 7 millions and rising. Furthermore, it provides useful data analysis and idea catching helper like: Best ranks list, Sudden Increase, Random – Shuffle T-shirt, Detailed price and rank charts, Trademark checking, and more.

SpyAMZ is the best tool available for sellers/merchants with Merch by Amazon. It’s incredibly effective and helps you catch the hottest trends at once. Sell with SpyAMZ, win with SpyAMZ. It’s not just the design, but also a part of your marketing strategy.

Once you get all you need, let’s move on to the execute phase. It’s best to have a professional designer to work with you, save you some time with the drawing. Or if you don’t have one, or prefer to do it yourself, you must master your skills with Photoshop, GIMP, or Pixlr online editor. These tools are the best buddy for you to create your own unique and breakthrough T-shirt design!

III. Upload your works

After finishing your designing work, you might need to go back and check again on your design to meet specific requirements from Amazon. Please click here to learn more about those requirements. 

Other factors you should consider such as T-Shirt template, Colors, Sizes and Positioning. You might choose up to 3 colors for your items and a correct size chart that people could easily look up. As a starter, Amazon will give you 10 designs at max. This amount will gradually expand as you continue your business on Amazon. There are some sale targets to reach and the slots will open more for you once reached.

IV. Pricing

Every item has a price. And it’s up to you to set that price. Pricing is also a part of Marketing works, so the pricing is one of the most critical jobs while Merching with Amazon. You must base on your aimed audience and niches, marketing plan and phase to define the price. Be competitive with others merchants and price it wisely.

Also, you might need to learn about Pricing and Royalties from Amazon. How much will you receive when a T-shirt was sold, based on its price? This is the real amount of money you have for each sale. With it, you can come up with the awesome plan and maximize your revenue!

V. AMO - Amazon Search Optimization

With SEO, everyone wants their products to be recognized and found on the search engines. Here, the search engine will be Amazon, there should be some differences, but in general things are pretty much the same. Therefore, a Product Description is very important

You can visit this guide and learn how to win with ASO – Amazon Search Optimization. You might need an optimized Product Description and specific category. Also, make it as effective as possible, and aim to the right target of customers. Once your items appear at the right search result, you have completed most of the way.

VI. Selling and Marketing

Once available on Amazon, your item is good to go now. If you’re new to Merch by Amazon, I suggest you private your item first. You can test it and try buying the T-shirt. Once you’re satisfied with everything, set it to Public and start selling your product!

But it’s not over yet. To make your brand grow bigger, you must run marketing for your items and merchants. Populate them, approach the right and wider audience areas, promote them via multiple channels. The better you run, the higher ranks the items climb. Good luck with sales 😉

VII. Evaluate the benefits

Your business has started and been running for a while. You should need some time for self-evaluation. It’s wise to know what to keep and what to drop. Firstly, you can gather the overview of your business and item’s situations, to maintain their path or head for a new way. Also, you can figure out the weaknesses and strengths to unleash your full potential.

Moreover, keep an eye on other sellers and the market trending to seize chances before others. SpyAMZ could help you do it nicely.

Welcome back to SpyAMZ, today I will guide you guys with the Merch by Amazon Keyword Research. As you all know, Keyword is one of the most important factors while Merch-ing. Not only based on the latest trends or your most creative ideas, but also it needs to stick with other common easy-found words that could possibly bring your items on top. Besides, it also has to avoid “Trademark” black holes that pulverize all your works.

For a small example, you’re the brightest sun in the universe, but there’s no one around to witness your light, then you’re useless. That’s why keywords have to stick together

How could I find the most suitable keywords?

Imagine you are in the middle of nowhere and don’t know where to start. Your only thought is about making money with Merch by Amazon, so how do you do it? You might want to grab a bunch of keywords that useful and follow them up to get more and more relevances of course.

First, you will need an idea. There are a lot of ideas out there waiting for you to catch, but you’re in the middle of nowhere so surely you don’t know what to catch 🙂 keep yelling “WHERE is the KEYWORD?” won’t help so you must need a guide, or you will need to find the way yourself.

Luckily for you I will help you on doing Merch by Amazon keyword research. Thank God the yell has stopped.

1. SpyAMZ - our savior

Too Long – Didn’t Read:

  • Access SpyAMZ.com and login.
  • Click Keywords tab to find the hottest keywords
  • Find the best rank items and identify their keywords
  • Click on Trending items to look at the fastest rising items

In the introduction video I’ve given you the most basic overview over SpyAMZ, including Keyword Analytics feature. This feature collects all the most famous and most popular words that appear on Amazon.com. It contains 3-word, 2-word and 1-word ones, along with the counts respectively. You don’t have to brainstorm or dig or find or run around to come up with an idea. SpyAMZ can list them all.

Ideas come from here, trends reveal here. You can find every idea and trend, suiting your niches. Also, you do not have to do anything, just one click and you’ll have it.

Also, you can find the keywords via the best ranking items within recent 15-30 days. Access the Product tab, choose the Best ranking items with time criteria Last Week.

You can see May 4th is coming, which is “Star Wars day”. There’s a lot of items about “May the Fourth be with you”. This is the hottest trend now, catch it now! The keyword is “May the Fourth”! But beware, Trademarks and Copyrights can strike!

There’s another way to do Merch by Amazon keyword research with SpyAMZ, is the Trends tab. This collects all the most potential, fastest rising items and trending items currently on Amazon:

You can easily see, again is Unicorn, Birthday, Star Wars, there also many other keywords can help you either. With all these resources, you can have an overall sight of Amazon t-shirt market at the moment and recognize the trends easily. It’s time to strike and catch the chance while you can. The most successful keywords will bring you the most money $$$ *ting*.

2. Google Keyword Planner - For those who already had direction

Too Long – Didn’t Read:

Compared to SpyAMZ, this is a little bit harder, as it needs a target, a premade keyword to base on and the tool will give you relevant items, suggestions and other keywords. But however, this way is free for all and anyone can do it easily. It also gives you details for your budgets, serving your Adwords campaigns.

First of all you might want to go to Google Keyword Planner here and sign in. It will take you to this interfere:

Enter your keyword, landing page and your product categories then. I will go for Death Metal, Amazon search page and Clothing category ’cause I love Metal 😀 Metalhead for life!

With this, you can figure out many useful indicators like Average Monthly Search, Suggested bid for your plans, Organic Average and many other. Hover on the Average Monthly Search will bring you a detailed chart. Also, Keyword Planner can give you some other relevant keywords you might want to use within your design and description to boost up the SEO.

Keep in mind that the suggested keywords vary depends on your landing page, so you can try multiple landing pages to get the most effective results.

Moreover, Keyword Planner can provide suggestions for Ad Group Ideas:

This will help you get the most overall direction and advice on your plans and ad groups. Save you a bunch of time eh?

Besides, you can save all the suggested keywords by Downloading them or Adding them into plans.

That’s an easy way to do Merch by Amazon keyword research that might be useful for your ideas, niches and trends. However there are some other notable amazing ways, let’s move on to the next one.

3. Moz bar + WordCounter: indicate the sub-keywords

Too Long – Didn’t Read:

  • Install MozBar Chrome Extension
  • Search for your keyword on Amazon.com, within clothing category
  • Activate MozBar, click “Page Analytic”
  • Scroll for H2 tags, copy them all
  • Go to WordCounter.net and paste in
  • Look for Keyword Density.

This also need a specific direction on your idea, so that you can have an initial search to extract the information from it. Thanks Pow Innovations Marketing for this useful guide.

But first, I will need you to install a plugin called MozBar here. It’s free and requires you to sign in.

Let’s try again with Death Metal on Amazon search in Clothing categories:

Activate the Moz bar and click on the “Page Analysis” button here. Scroll down for the H2 tags, copy them all to your clipboard.

Go to WordCounter.net and paste in all of your copied stuff. It will give you specific details on many aspects, including Keyword Density. This is the most important thing. You can see Death Metal is not even so scary, but full of “Unicorns” and “Rainbows”, so cuteeeeee! It’s even “funny” too.

What does this mean? This means, there might be a lot of “sub-keywords” that is not relevant to your ideas, design themes, topics or trends, but in fact, they are there, right there next to your main keywords.

And another fact, they together are standing on THE 1ST PAGE of the Search result. That’s where you aim for, so what you need is to mix all those sub-keywords into your items to get the best result standing for SEO. This way helps expand your relevant keyword pool and helps you achieve higher reach to many people. It is incredibly brilliant way to do Merch by Amazon keyword research.

4. Keywordtool.io

Too Long – Didn’t Read:

This way is pretty much the same as 2 above ways, which needs a base idea and keyword. Simply go to KeyWordTool.io for Amazon and input your keyword. Let’s go, “Death Metal”! \m/

Sadly KeyWordTool.io locked some premium features as indicators, densities, cost-per-click, and competitive rate. But nonetheless, it gives you some relevant keywords and sub-keywords. Better than nothing.

Trademark x Copyright avoidance

This is a very hard section, because the considerations of Violated and Non-Violated is likely unclear, so I recommend you guys act with cautions while designing. With your found keywords, you have to filter the “Clean” ones only, which has no trademarks/copyrights relevance, avoiding ban or suspension. However, as the edge of consideration is not so clear, so trademark checking is for CONSULTING only. The last call is still up to you.

To do this, please access SpyAMZ, go to Trademark tab:

I’ve made some research with the keywords in our keyword pool, seems like everything is fine except for the word “Metal” and “Rock Band”. However, we are using the topic of Death Metal, a strong heavy music genre, not Metal alone or the metallic Metal, so the Trademark hammer is not likely to strike on us.

In fact, there are lots of “Death Metal” shirts still alive for a very long time, so I think “Death Metal” is clean. But with “Rock Band” I will not use this keyword, because there’s a game sequel named Rock Band for XBox from Microsoft, so I’d better remove this. As mentioned above, this is for consulting only, so my last call is still going with “Death Metal”.

If you click on the red “Metal” word, it will give you the link to the source of that trademarks:

It’s not that every keyword works, remember to remove the keywords you suspicious with Trademark and happy Merching either 😉

About Copyrights, there’s no official source to list all the available copyrights at the moment, you will have to base on your real-life knowledge and social life experience to abandon the “Copyright corrupted” ones. The last call’s yours.

I now have a bunch of keywords and relevances and sub-keywords, what to do next?

Everyone knows the more keywords and density you put in your items, the better the result gets. So, I want to make something clear for you first. We will have 3 editable text fields for each Amazon items:

  • Item name;
  • Item brand;
  • 2 bullet points within item description.

Okay, after doing Merch by Amazon keyword research, I want you to optimize the keyword pool, based on the search volumes, densities and relevance to the design. As you can see on the “Death Metal” search page there are a lot of unicorn x rainbow design, so definitely those 2 will stay with you. Remove unused keywords for the best optimization.

The best keywords to keep might be the ones you collected within SpyAMZ Keyword Analytics. Those are the most successful keywords, so you also might want to use it either. United We Stand, the more successful keywords, the better. At this moment, keywords like: “birthday, men, women, Christmas, gift, fun, holiday, etc” have biggest densities, try adding them in.

My product, I will try to add popular keywords in as many as possible. I even put them in my brand (don’t forget to mention your Brand name there), product name and the 2 bullet points. I used Rainbow, Unicorn, Death Metal, Rock, Sparkling, Heavy, Love, Gift, Men, Women, Birthday, Christmas and Holiday.

To be honest, I love this shirt ❤❤❤ 

Final words on How to do Merch by Amazon keyword research
