yes, i also like to ask Brian if buyers  with Veer are looking at our images that are still with SV . i posted this question in the other topic but he did not reply . maybe he did not see my question.

Brian,

Should we continue uploading to SV? Assuming we are currently accepted to VMP will the new uploads to SV get transfered over?

Peter

Hi Zeus -

Yes, content uploaded now will still get transferred over.

We'll have more news on this topic soon.

Hi Batman -

I did miss your question in the other thread.

I'm not sure I totally understand the question - do you mean are we actively pushing Veer customers to buy images on Snap?

As a whole, Veer buyers aren't necessarily looking at SnapVillage (or vice versa). The sites aren't being cross-promoted.
While it's possible/likely there is some crossover in the customer base, they are separate sites as far as buyers go.

We're going to have more news soon regarding where things are at, and what's coming next. The announcements may alleviate your concerns.

Let me know if I am on the right track with your question. Happy to take another stab at it if I am off the mark.

Best,


 - Brian

thanks Brian, you answered my question. which is what i am afraid of ie. SV and Veers are two separate sites and therefore at present our portfolios at SV are not being seen by Veers buyers.

which means until our ports get ported over to Veers  we could be missing potential sales from Veers buyers, right?  so let's hope the transfer been implemented soon.

thx Brian !

Just got this message from Snapvillage...  It looks like if you have files to send, better send them in soon!

Dear SnapVillage Contributor,

It�s been just over two months since we announced our plans to roll SnapVillage into a new microstock offering on Veer named Veer Marketplace. We�ve been moving at a rapid pace as we get closer to the mid year launch when our upload capabilities will be live.

The next stage requires that we stop accepting new uploads to SnapVillage. We have scheduled this to happen on Friday, May 1. This means you can continue to upload images through April 30th, but after that you�ll have to hold on to your images for a few weeks while we transfer the rest of the SnapVillage content over to Veer Marketplace. While we can�t take new uploads, you�ll still be able to access your SnapVillage account as you always have and during this transition, SnapVillage buyers will continue to be able to license your content.

We launched Phase 1 of Veer Marketplace in late February with 140,000 images that are now available for purchase on veer.com and we are still slated for a full launch mid year with contributor upload capabilities and credit-based pricing and subscriptions. We�ll be in touch with you over the next few weeks with an update on the Phase 2 launch date which will include the go-live date for the upload features on Veer Marketplace, submission guidelines and details about the new Veer Marketplace agreement and royalties.

And just to help clarify something I'm sure many of you have questions about:  We will soon be sending out news to many many folks informing them whether or not their images will be automatically ported over to Veer Marketplace from SnapVillage.

We've got a big backlog of these to push out - most folks have not heard one way or the other.
Unless your account was newly created within the last 1.5 months, you'll hear by May 9th. If your account on Snap was newly created within the last 1.5 months, you'll hear by mid-May.
