Title: Perplexed
Post by: PeterChigmaroff on May 22, 2008, 13:31
I personally like the look of the Crestock site. It has a nice design. The search engine has a lot of horespower. The collection is heavily edited; a good thing to make you stand out from the competition. So, why such few sales? I am new there but I am new everywhere on micro sites and they are the only ones running a perfect zilch for me on the sales front.

Given that they've set themselves up to be more subjective than their competition, I think they'd fare better if they charged more. Significantly more. Their low sales volume combined with low prices mean that it doesn't pay to upload to Crestock unless you have a library of at least several hundred proven images - those of you just starting out should steer clear of Crestock until you have your 'sea legs', so to speak.

Also, and I have no idea if it's just me, there seems to be very few credit sales lately: every single DL for me this month has been a 25c subscription!

I don't even remember having a single credit sale I guess all my sales(even that's only a handful) were subs so far.
I totally agree they should be charging a lot more that they do  now  for the time being it doesn't seem to me worth uploading at all.with so few sales with such low prices I wouldn't think they have a bright future,a least not for me.it is sad to say that also LO had a great site and great staff but we know what happened to them.
