Title: $2.00 subscription sale?
Post by: elvinstar on September 13, 2013, 18:32
Today I had a $2.00 subscription sale on a level 4 image. I've never seen a subscription sale for anything other than $0.35. Anyone else seeing this or is it a fluke/glitch?

New small subscription plans - http://www.dreamstime.com/thread_35047 (http://www.dreamstime.com/thread_35047)

"...These plans are now available at $39 and $69, giving access to five or ten files. The files can be downloaded anytime throughout the next 30 days. The royalties awarded are $2.00 for non-exclusive contributors and $2.20 for exclusives. These values are computed based on our historical average for downloads generated by both credits and subscriptions.

They are launched only for a part of the customers for now, as we plan to monitor their behaviour and overall impact.

We'll be fine-tuning this so please offer your feedback or post any glitches that you might find. We hope you will notice the new plans have strong potential while generating better royalties. We expect many of the regular subscription customers to switch to these two plan since many have been requesting lower volumes."

Thanks!

I never bother to read forums on any of the microstock sites. I get all of my news here.  ;D

Hey that's pretty cool! Nice to see a stock company think outside the box a bit and come up with something that's a win-win for both buyers, contributors and the agency.

I can't imagine that people who are currently purchasing 25 or 50 downloads a day sub packages on dt will now buy the new 5 or 10 downloads a month sub packages instead. I think people who are currently purchasing credits will be more interested in this new sub package.

Most probably.

That's strange. They announced this, "The royalties awarded are $2.00 for non-exclusive contributors and $2.20 for exclusives."
