"Help us keep Pond5 the Artist (and Buyer) Friendly Marketplace!

Dear Artist,

You’re receiving this email because there may be clips in your Pond5 portfolio that are priced lower on competitor sites. You (and we) risk losing sales if the same content can be found for less elsewhere — other sites where you earn fewer royalties.

Pond5 is rapidly becoming the go-to global destination for footage buyers, which means Artists like you have more opportunities than ever to thrive. We’ve accomplished this through the depth and breadth of our collection, our best-in-class search experience, and competitive pricing.

We’d like to ask for your help to continue making this happen. If you have content on Pond5 that is priced lower on competitor sites, please adjust your pricing to be no higher than the competitor price. Giving Artists the ability to set their own prices is one of our most important founding principles, but we also have to protect the integrity of our marketplace. (Of course, we always welcome higher-priced exclusive content.)

Our team can provide assistance with bulk price changes and other concerns. For help, just contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for making Pond5 the number one global content marketplace!

Sincerely,
The Pond5 Team"

Are they panicing after Videoblocks crazy annoucement!?
My prices are just slightly above Shutterstocks prices.

Dear Pond5, you're receiving this message because there are other sites that are selling my photos thousands of times each month while I only have a sale every few months with you.
Please, adjust your number of sales to match them and I will lower my prices a bit.

This crap is spreading worse than an 'STD'!  :-[

Dear Pond5,

I love your site and promote it a ton, just look at my links and hits! That being said I can not eat and pay my bills with just one site. The site you are referring to is VideoBlocks, well you see to get that $49.00 price point you have to pay a yearly subscription kind of like your membership pricing which I might add is lower then regular pricing! This is the pot calling the kettle black. I will decided when to adjust my pricing and what to do with my work. Thank-you
