Title: This week, sales dropped drastically. What happened?
Post by: helloitsme on March 26, 2016, 10:55

Is it because of the new subscription package hurting non-membership clips sales?  I'm very concerned.

If you look on the Pond5 forum you'll see that it wasn't just this week (it's been the whole month) and that you definitely aren't the only one.

I'm not on P5, but Easter and Easter/Spring Break always have an affect on sales across the board.   I'd wait until after next week to draw any conclusions.

Yes it's the Easter bunny dropping little ploppy doom balls on our sales again.  I have 35,000+ video files across the top agencies and all are showing low sales.  Pond5's move to membership isn't good. It feels greedy, jumping on the bandwagon and with disregard for their core business.

If it's because of Easter, I feel better now.

Yeah, apart from my VideoHive stuff, I've not had a single sale over the past week. Pesky Easter!

Looks like today will be a slower than usual day as well. Today is Easter Monday and some people are taking 4-day weekends.
