We’ve designed the following Amazon Trend Calendar to help you keep in mind the various trends that occur every year.

We’ve started by adding each month’s calendar with important dates and holidays. On the page following the calendar month, we’ve included some trends to look out for.

These are weighted towards the American observances, holidays and events. You’re obviously encouraged to consider your own region’s important events and observations.

For each trend, we’ve given some of our ideas for niches and products that are sure to be hot during the trend and events for said month.

The final piece provided is a reminder list of what to be working on so that you are constantly looking ahead, ranking your content ahead of time to

take advantage of future trends.
