From Lucy Quach, GearLaunch Marketing Manager
The leaves are turning golden, and I can already feel that familiar excitement in the air! For print-on-demand sellers like yourself, Thanksgiving isn't just about gratitude – it's about creating gratitude-worthy profits. This beloved family holiday opens the door to one of the most lucrative selling seasons, and many entrepreneurs completely miss out on its massive potential.
After working with thousands of GearLaunch sellers through multiple holiday seasons, I've seen how the right Thanksgiving strategy can turn November into your most profitable month yet. Whether you're new to seasonal selling or looking to boost last year's results, I'm sharing everything you need to know to make this Thanksgiving your biggest success story.
Let's dive into the proven strategies that will help you capture the warmth, tradition, and togetherness that make Thanksgiving so special – and so profitable.
Thanksgiving holds a unique position in the holiday calendar. Unlike Christmas or Halloween, which can feel commercialized, Thanksgiving remains deeply personal and family-focused. This creates incredible opportunities for print-on-demand sellers who understand how to tap into the emotional connection people have with this holiday.
Here's what makes Thanksgiving special for POD sellers:
Based on our platform data and seller feedback, here are the products that consistently deliver the best results during Thanksgiving season:
Our drinkware category has been absolutely crushing it this season! From our 12-ounce wine glasses perfect for family toasts to our travel tumblers that keep coffee warm during early morning parade watching – these products combine utility with emotional connection.
Personal favorite: Our wine glasses have become my go-to recommendation. They're not just functional; they're conversation starters that become part of family traditions.
Here's something I learned from our most successful sellers: lifestyle photos outperform mockups every single time. When customers see your products being used in real homes, with real families, they can envision themselves using them too.
Smart seller strategy: Many of our top performers order samples of their best-selling items to create authentic lifestyle content. Yes, it's an upfront investment, but the return in social media engagement and sales makes it worthwhile.
Show your products:
Search engine optimization might sound complicated, but it's actually your best friend for free, long-term traffic. Here's what you need to know:
SEO is your free advertising platform. When people search for "Thanksgiving table decor" or "family gathering gifts," you want your store to show up on that first page of results.
Focus on keywords that combine:
Pro tip: Use these keywords in your product titles, descriptions, and even your website URL structure. The more relevant keywords you naturally include, the better your chances of being found.

Our wine glasses and tumblers have specific print areas that you need to understand. The design doesn't wrap all the way around – it covers the front portion only. Make sure your design covers the entire print area shown in red dotted lines in our design tool.
Design strategy: Create designs that look amazing even on one side. Think bold statements, beautiful graphics, or meaningful quotes that work perfectly as front-facing designs.
Always use the full print area available. A small design floating in the middle of a large print space looks amateur. Fill that space with confidence – your customers are paying for a premium product, so give them a premium-looking design.
Success in print-on-demand isn't about having perfect timing or the most creative designs – it's about understanding your customers and giving them products that enhance their most meaningful moments.
This Thanksgiving, you're not just selling products. You're helping families create memories, express gratitude, and celebrate traditions. When you approach your business with that mindset, the sales naturally follow.
Your next steps:
The families gathering around Thanksgiving tables this year are looking for ways to make their celebrations special. With GearLaunch handling all the printing, packing, and shipping, you can focus on what you do best – creating designs that matter.
