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. 4
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?
