14 of my last 20 sales were subs. What is with this subs explosion? Is it just me?

Same here........madelaide is getting all the dl's and we're getting all the subs.

Oh dear, sucked into ancient thread........mind you, much higher percentage of subs than 2 years ago.

Haha, but that was the good old days when they only sold 14 subs per 20 sales. Now it's more like 18 or 19.

Every agency has a different market, and they try to select photographs based on their respective markets. Fotolia is very big in Europe, including Germany, Scandinavian countries, and France. I might be wrong, but from what I see North European countries is a preference for photographs that are very white with people staring at the camera with a cheesy smile, usually all looking the same. So my point is , every market is different and every agency selects for its customers. It's not a personal thing.

Almost zero rejections here, lots of credit sales, fast reviews too, mostly within 24h.
I'm not planning to leave this agency anytime soon, on the contrary, it's becoming one of my favorites lately.

Good weekend all.

As I said before. Different agencies have different types of customers, or nationality. Each knows their client taste generally.

I don't photograph people mate so wouldn't know, as I said, they take just about anything I send them but I'm not the snap/up type of shooter, I do a lot of PP.
Sales are still low compared to other top tier agencies but I'm sure they will rise in time, their promotion of new images is a good sign of progress.
