I received the following email from SS today:
Dear Mark Payne,
Did you know that Bigstock recently joined forces with Shutterstock, the largest subscription-based stock image library in the world?
To celebrate this new partnership, we’re pleased to offer Bigstock customers a 10% discount on a Shutterstock subscription. If you use a lot of images, this deal is perfect for you.
With a Shutterstock 25-A-Day subscription, you’ll have access to a library of over 9 million high-quality, royalty-free images. That means more choices, stronger designs, and greater savings.
Shutterstock subscribers enjoy:
Flexibility. Shutterstock adds tens of thousands of images a week spanning a vast array of subjects, so your options are endless.
Convenience. Sign up for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 1 year. Subscription pricing makes it easy to plan your budget.
Quality. Shutterstock images come from top photographers and illustrators around the world, and there’s no extra charge for high-resolution files.
Purchase a 25-A-Day Shutterstock subscription and begin downloading today. Simply enter coupon code SB310 during checkout to receive a 10% discount on any Standard License plan. Visit www.Shutterstock.com (http://www.Shutterstock.com) to get started.
We hope you’ll take advantage of this special offer at Shutterstock, and you’ll continue to use Bigstock for your individual royalty-free image needs.
Best regards,
The Bigstock and Shutterstock teams

Maybe I'm taking a good choice not reopening my account on BigStock: they got to sell almost nothing of my portfolio in months.

I was hoping that we'd see something as to how Shutterstock was going to give a push or cross market to the credit sales at BigStock after their acquisition of BigStock :-\

:-\ Not what I was expecting.
It seems SS will use BigStock only to attract more subscriptions buyers :(
-
I don't know how many customers SS is likely to get from this promotion. BigStock sales have been in decline for months.
Who's left there to advertise to?
Quite a shame - sales migrating from a site where we make .50 - $3 to subscriptions where we get .25 - .38 per sale.
Seems to be the direction the industry is going in....
