Listing multiple of the same item (with a color change)?

[Former_Member]

I'm curious how to best list my items. My cards are all printables that I email a file of to the buyer. The buyer can select almost any color to have their card in, although I do have some colors listed as a suggestion in the listing.

For example, this Elephant card (https://www.etsy.com/listing/101008443/20-off-stacked-elephants-baby-shower) is in yellow and blue (and soon pink) for buyers to choose. Should I create three different listings so people searching specifically for a blue card will find it easily? Is this too confusing to have it all in one listing?

Should I be charging an additional fee to create the custom colors?

I would create seperate listings, the more the better, right? Then people can actually see what the different colors look like, and more chances to be featured in treasuries. It is up to you about charging for custom colors, but if it as simple as just changing the color in your program, I wouldn't charge extra for that.

I'd create separate listings for all of the colors; like you said, that way there's a better chance of being found by someone searching for a specific card color.

yes, create different listings. that's the best way to do it. i agree with amanda, if it's easy to do a custom color don't charge extra. i would get a few colors listed individually, then do one listing for a custom color.

I agree with everyone else. Plus it fills your store up with more listings!

Yup, I also agree. Multiple color listings, but no extra charge for different colors.

I would make separate listings for them and put links in to the listings with the other colors.

Thanks, great idea Gabrielle about the listing links!

I would create separate listings, you can still use all of the same pics, just in a different order. I usually list things twice- rearranging images. I think it helps, but there has to be enough of a change in the photos not to be insulting- people are drawn to images differently.

And thank you to the rest for your great advice too :)
