April is a goldmine for e-commerce (if you know where to look) 🤫 Most sellers sleep on April. They wait for the “big” holiday in May, missing out on a month packed with moments that make people click, buy, and share. But not you. You see the game. April is where trends spark and e-commerce bestsellers are born. It's the testing ground before Mother’s Day chaos hits. It's full of moments that make people laugh, get nostalgic, or show love in unexpected ways. 🔹 April Fool’s Day – playful designs that double as conversation starters? Gold. People love a good inside joke. Display some in your designs and count those sales. 🔹 National Siblings Day – the perfect excuse to roast or celebrate siblings. If your designs tap into childhood memories, they’ll fly. 🔹 National Pet Day – pet parents are obsessed with their babies. Give them something they’ll proudly wear, display, or buy “for the dog.” 🔹 Mother’s Day (we know the post is about April) – the biggest gifting day of Q2 is in May, but smart sellers start now. Early shoppers are already looking. Be there. April is your launchpad. Test, tweak, and scale now, so when the real rush hits, you’re not scrambling.

Here we go again. The next massive trade shifts from the U.S. are here. What’s happening? As of today, March 4: ➡️ U.S. moves forward with 25% tariffs on Canada & Mexico. ➡️ China tariffs doubled from 10% to 20%, with some products now possibly facing 45% total duties. ➡️ De minimis for Canada & Mexico stays (for now), but only until a system is in place to collect tariffs - just like what happened with China. And that’s not all. The next wave of costs may not come from shipping fees. The U.S. is investigating China’s maritime industry, which could lead to additional fees of $100–$1,000+ per container. Meanwhile, the EU is preparing to retaliate against U.S. trade measures, which could cause even more supply chain disruptions. What does it mean for print-on-demand sellers who rely on fulfillment outside the U.S? 🚨The costs rise. POD blanks, packaging, and supplies just got more expensive. 🚨 Shipping will slow down. More customs scrutiny means long and unpredictable delivery times. 🚨 No stability. If maritime fees are introduced, costs will rise beyond just tariffs. A growing number of sellers are moving to U.S.-based fulfillment - not just to cut costs but to regain control over their print-on-demand business. No surprise fees. No customs delays. Just predictable business. Are you still relying on imports? Why? Protect your margins with merchOne’s U.S.-based production and fulfillment - join the sellers who aren’t losing sleep over trade shifts.
