Thank you all for your comments!
We are an Italian startup so... yes, we're translating into english. Anyway, the "gratification" to the photographers is given by our high revenue (from 50% to 85%). Does it make sense?
We focus on photos related to the area where they were taken. Some of our categories are: landscape, animals, buildings, arts, foods... and almost everything is specific of a particular place.
We know very well how difficult is to enter the market but we did a market survey and we discovered that the geolocation is something that would bring great value to the sale of the photographs. If others want to replicate our idea, they must start a new marketplace since they do not have geolocation in their huge portfolio. Also other big players have their most profitable market in other kind of photos that we all know (sign/symbols, business...).
We also want to give more to photographers, such us:
- high-revenues
- opportunity to decide on pricing and licensing
- visibility (ie personal page with info and contacts)
We are also working on a map containing all photographers so customers will be able to ask new photos directly to photographers.
What do you think? We really like to get any feedback from you.
Thank you!!!
