Title: Fotolia Exclusivity
Post by: PeterChigmaroff on February 24, 2009, 10:26
I guess everyone who has recently signed on to iStock exclusivity is kicking themselves in the backside for missing the opportunity to sign on exclusive with Fotolia (Drip of sarcasm here). I just got my email from FT explaining all the wonderful benefits of Total Exclusivity (Another drip). This would not be unlike Schwartzy in Total Recall, "they stole my mind and now I want it back". You'd have to be in this situation to sign on, IMHO. You could hang around while they play spin-the-bottle with percentages and rankings. "gosh, that's too high, lets spin again, oh that's better, send out another notice. Time to reduce commissions again."

Yep, the email made all the difference.

I am definitely going to drop the 7 other agencies I contribute to, and sign up exclusively with the agency at which I have the worst AR (probably under 50%, compared to 70%-90+% at all others), and (therefore) my smallest portfolio. I mean, it just makes sense, doesn't it?

Fotolia generally accounts for around 10% of my monthly income. Surely I'll see an increase of 10x once I go exclusive with them, right?  ;D  ;D  ;D

Speaking of emails, I don't get anything from FT anymore.  It must be something in my Hotmail spam settings.  What are the addresses coming from FT?

I know what you mean, they play back to back rounds of hey buddy, is that your quarter? and expect to solidarity. The funny thing is I'm sure they will get takers.
