The "Scan, Mockup, Upload, Repeat" Nightmare
Selling vintage magazine ads and prints on Etsy is a fantastic business, but the workflow is brutally repetitive. For every single advertisement, you have to:
- Scan the ad (the easy part).
- Manually open Photoshop or Canva.
- Place your scan onto 5 different mockup photos (a frame on a wall, a desk, etc.).
- Save all 5 mockups, plus the original scan.
- Upload them to Dropbox or a server to get image URLs.
- Write a title, description, and 13 tags, making sure to include the magazine name and date.
- Create all the color and size variations for your listing.
- ...and then do it all over again for the next ad.
The Vintage Ad Lister by Listing Tailor automates this entire process.
A 2-Step Workflow to Replace 20 Steps
This tool is built to handle your specific process from start to finish. All you need are your Google AI and Dropbox API keys.
Step 1: Analyze the Source
First, upload your magazine cover. The AI analyzes the cover and automatically fills in the Magazine Title, Date, and Issue Number. This information is now saved and will be used for every ad you process in this batch, ensuring perfect consistency.
Step 2: Batch Your Listings
This is where the magic happens. You add your ad scans, your mockup templates (like a photo of a frame on a wall), and any extra photos (like packaging).
When you click "Generate," the tool does all this for you:
- AI Analysis: It uses AI to look at each ad scan and write a unique, SEO-friendly title, a full HTML description, and 13 Etsy tags.
- Automatic Mockups: It digitally places each ad scan onto every mockup template you provided, creating a full set of professional-looking product photos.
- Cloud Upload: It uploads all the original scans, mockups, and extra photos to a new, organized folder in your Dropbox account and gets the public image URLs.
- Variation CSV: It creates a complete CSV file with all your size and color variations, pre-filled with the AI-generated titles, descriptions, and all your new image links.
- ZIP Download: It bundles everything (the CSV and all the generated images) into a single ZIP file for your records.
