Trump Merch Outsells Protesters

Trump Sales Rise After Election on Spreadshirt Platform

Spreadshirt is the ecommerce platform for spreading ideas on something tangible. Since Wednesday 9th November, Trump-related products in the USA are outselling protesters’ creations. Sales and searches of Trump merchandise have increased since the election. Before the 8th November, 62% of #election2016 searches were Hillary related and only 38% were looking for Trump merch.

Now, despite the big protests, 93% of all Trump-themed sales on the Spreadshirt platform are products which are pro the President Elect. Only 7% show anti-Trump slogans or images. Sales and searches for Hilary-related merch have dropped.

Spreadshirt CEO, Philip Rooke, wonders “Is this a reaction to upheaval, a general shift in opinion, or just Trump supporters showing their support more openly? What is interesting is that Trump searches and sales have risen after the election, rather than showing a steady rise before the vote, and designers are answering that topical demand with more creations on the Spreadshirt platform.”
