General Stock Discussion / Alamy - Microstock
« on: June 12, 2008, 11:26 »
I've just received this email...any views!

..............................
Earlier this week we released details on the Alamy blog of the first
initiative that will be launched under the Novel Use scheme.
This is called 'Limited Use' with prices starting from around $1 and
restricted to a defined set of usages.

Limited Use was devised to enable Alamy contributors to compete in
the fast moving micropayment sector without devaluing their existing
sales at the higher end of the market. This level of pricing may come
as a shock to some of you, however we think it would be counterproductive
to try to sell at a higher price than the established players in this
market. If the customer groups that we have identified are paying for
photography (and we won't know until we try it for ourselves), it is
highly unlikely that they are paying more than micropayment prices.

The comments section of the blog was dominated by concerns that
Limited Use is microstock by another name. We have responded to
these concerns by enabling contributors who previously opted into
Novel Use to opt out of the scheme if they wish (details at the
end of this note).

Before you reach for the opt out button please consider the following
facts about this scheme:

- We have not lost our minds!

- Alamy Limited Use is not the same as microstock.

- Microstock images are available to all buyers of stock photography.

- Alamy Limited Use restricts usage to three types of user - teachers,
students, and bloggers - none of whom feature in our customer base.

- This is not the beginning of a shift towards universally low prices
at Alamy. It is not in our interests to slash prices of our conventional
business to microstock levels, but nevertheless we think that we have
something to offer this market. In 2007 the market leader in microstock
generated over $70m in revenue and is projected to achieve over $120m
this year. This business model is here to stay and we are leaving
money on the table by not taking the opportunity to compete with them
in some areas.

General Stock Discussion / Country league table
« on: March 23, 2008, 05:37 »
I was just wondering. Is there a league table for which country is buying the most pictures? It would be interesting to see say the top 10. I would imagine that America would head this because of size but who would be next? Or is this information too difficult to find?
