I dont think this will render more revenue, if it does, great but these things hardly ever do. Exclusives are a very small percentage here and mostly made up of very low cannister levels where picture quality is fair.
I agree with them though, they have to nurse their exclusives now and then and at the moment they havent got much more then their golden crown and a few vettas, well, some extra commision.
Sure! Ive been thinking of exclusivity a long time now but its still all these search-changing business that puts me off. I dont understand it really, why they just cant leave their search mechanism alone??

I disagree, I think iStock are right to try and push the price point higher for quality work, even though I don't produce much in the way of Vetta material - and I think it will give us (exclusives) extra revenue.
But I do wish they could get the site fixed...

Youre getting me wrong, yes its a good thing to get prices higher! Im all for it. I would see them getting even closer to Trad-prices. Im just not sure this is the way to go about it.
If youre gonna have a "special collection" you better make sure its really special and way over the rest ( tried by the Getty RM 1996) and misserably failed.
picture alone can not steadily rise the price level but special deals and hitting the right target groups can.
