Why Selling Custom Hoodies?
Seasonality
Fall is a cozy time of the year, and hoodies are hands down one of the best items to sell. While hoodies are an all-year favorite, they truly shine in the fall.
Designing custom hoodies for this season cannot only skyrocket your sales but also bring in significant profits, giving your customers exactly what they need and want.
Versatility and Comfort
Let’s be honest, custom hoodies are a fantastic wardrobe staple. When the weather gets chilly, there’s nothing better than wrapping yourself in a comfortable hoodie you love. According to Google Trends, the term “custom hoodie” starts to peak in September, making it the perfect item for your shop!
Uniqueness
Sellers always look for custom hoodies. While there are many generic and mass-produced hoodies out there, offering custom designs can set you apart. Whether it’s adding a personal name, a favorite quote, or unique illustrations, offering something special can make your hoodies the go-to choice for customers looking to stay comfy and stylish this season.
More Sales
Since hoodies are a fall favorite, you can drive more traffic to your shop by suggesting related products or sending engaging emails about your hoodie collection. This can also help boost interest in other fall items you offer, maximizing your seasonal sales.
Custom Hoodie Design Ideas for Fall
Are you ready to sell custom hoodies this fall? Let us give you some custom hoodie design ideas and tips to inspire you:
Phrases
Short, catchy phrases can make your hoodies stand out! Here are some tips:
Fonts Matter
- Use cool fonts—handwritten, bubble, outlined, etc. Play with angles and sizes.
One Word Per Line
- This keeps your design clean and readable.
Keywords
- Incorporate fall-related words (e.g., cozy, apple cider, scarves) with a main keyword like “fall” highlighted.
Layout Ideas
- Center significant phrases (max three words) or place smaller phrases diagonally in corners.
🛠️ Pro Tip: Use our Blank Canvas tool to create from scratch. For more text-only hoodie inspiration, check out Pinterest or Etsy.
Illustrations
Sometimes, pictures speak louder than words. Here’s how to use illustrations effectively:
Multiple Graphics
- Place 2 to 4 illustrations in a row at the top center of your hoodie.
Cute Corners
- Add a pretty design to the upper right or left corner but in a smaller size.
Big Impact
- Organize your fall graphics in a large size and in the center to highlight them.
Style Choices
- To match the hoodie background, choose flat illustrations, 3D graphics, or outlined images in black, white, or orange.
Text + Images
Mixing text and illustrations can create a balanced and appealing custom hoodie design. Here are some tips:
Text Above and Below
- Place text above, a graphic in the middle, and text below.
Centered Graphic
- Make the main graphic big and centered, with proportional text at the bottom.
Shaped Text
- Curve the text in a semicircle with a graphic below.
Corner Designs
- Center the main text and add fall illustrations in the corners.
Text Background
- Use repetitive or varied background text with a related graphic on top.
Upper Corner Combo
- Place the graphic and text together in the upper right or left corner.
