Deutsche Diskussion / Re: Neue Bild Agentur Imagegate Stock
« on: October 03, 2013, 04:30 »
Hallo Jasmin,

habe gerade erst deine Nachricht gehen, Verzeihung. Wir sind ein Start-up und derzeit sehr am wachsen. Wir versuchen auch immer neue Partnerschaften mit Vertriebspartners zu suchen. Dies ist nicht immer einfach aber wir sind sehr optimistisch. Letzten Endes wollen wir eine Agentur von Kuenstler fuer Kuenstler sein. Deswegen versuchen wir auch die Provisionen so hoch wie mglich zu halten. 
Falls du noch Fragen haben solltest, stehe ich gerne zur Verfuegung.

Viele Gruesse,
Julian

Don't see that. This was probably some advertising or an outdated site.

Thank U! I wonder how he got my email address!

Hi Tom, you signed up with us a contributor back in December, which is why you received mail.

Best regards,
Julian

Contributors can contribute where they like, however using the contributor list of another site as a source for your spamming is poor form.

We are talking four contributors here. Hardly considered spamming.

We just spent a while cleaning up site messages to iRockStock contributors inviting them to submit to imagegate following a complaint. I would suggest a different way to market your site.

Contributors should have the freedom to submit where they want to. If you don't want contributors to be contacted, I suggest disabling the "Contact Me" button on the profile page.

Hello,

Many thanks for your feedback. In the meantime we have used your suggestions to continuously improve things. For example, we have now republished the terms and conditions and the licensing agreements:

http://direct.imagegate.com/Royalty-Free_versus_Rights_Managed.html

I am hoping, that these are now more clear to everyone.
Any further ideas and suggestions are always welcome.
best regards :)

I wonder why you claim to be UK-based while all the images on the site are from one Danish contributor, onefrogmedia (Carsten Moeller Thomsen)? Perhaps it would be good to put some real (name, street, business, legal) info on the site to gain trust.

Your whois info is covered up:
Private, Registration  [email protected]

Who are you?

Carsten is one of our contributors. I will have the Whois changed - didn't realize this. But all our info should be on the contact page.

Took a quick look at the site. In addition to seeing the details of the license you're offering, I don't understand how the pricing works. On the images I checked they said "Royalty Free & Rights Managed" for the license type. They had some size based prices from 1.25 to 20 euros - I assume that's royalty free.

If there's a rights managed option, how does a buyer go about that? And is that similar to what the microstock sites sell as an extended license (e.g. unlimited print run or printing on products for sale)? Without seeing what rights you get for the prices posted, it's impossible to say if it's a good or bad price.

Then I did a couple of searches and I can see why you're looking for content. The search for "tropical beach" produced one murky black and white shots of silhouetted people on a crowded (non tropical) beach. Searching for "woman office" produced five results: 4 women, not in an office and one iphone with a stethoscope on it, no woman. I guess the search does an OR not an AND but I think most places use AND as a default.

Not sure what the FTP "upon request" is about - do you have criteria for being permitted to use FTP? I can't imagine anyone with a sizable portfolio (including me, and mine's relatively small at 2,500 images) would even think twice about uploading without FTP.

The biggie, however, is why you're starting this agency and why you expect buyers to shop with you versus any of the other agencies already out there. How will you bring buyers to the site? 50% is appealing, but only if the number you multiply it by is large enough :)

Many thanks for your feedback.
We are offering Royalty Free and also Rights Managed images. Rights Managed images are based on different usage types, regions, and duration. If you click in Rights Managed, you should be seeing the rights managed image calculator.
Regarding the searches, we just started a week ago and are looking for opportunities to add new content. I am therefore not surprised that you got few results. FTP of 2500 images is not a issue - it just hast to be requested so we can create a personal and safe FTP for the photographer. All stock agencies want more buyers, but being small also has its advantage - less photographers competing for the same buyer :)

-Upload through Flash or batch FTP (upon request), then press import, set categories - done.
-ITPC data from images gets imported into system
-We can offer 50% commission or 60% for substantial (100 or more images) or unique content.
-Different formats jpeg, ai, eps, video
-Contributor area: Check commission and image stats.

Anything I forgot?
Many thanks,
Julian
