Zmiany na Alamy - jgxp - 2008-09-24
Dostałem takiego emaila:
early 2009 for direct and distributor sales. The change applies to all images from all our contributors, regardless of which commission structure you are on. We're making this change to fund a shift in strategy for the company which, we believe, will lead to a significant increase in gross payments to our contributors. We're starting by opening a dedicated sales office in the USA.
The US market currently makes up 30% of our global revenues. With a dedicated US sales office, we expect to significantly improve our performance in this market. It's difficult to provide precise numbers at this early stage, but we're forecasting that US sales will jump from our current 15% annual growth rate to around 30% to 40%. This will increase gross payments made to contributors from $72m to between $74m and $78m over 3 years.
Recruiting starts this month and we expect staff to start joining us around January. The new royalty split won't come into effect until the team has been recruited.
New terms will be:
- Alamy's percentage for direct sales and for distributor sales will rise by 5%
- An end to bank transfer fees
- No more cheque fees
- No charges on foreign exchange fees for payments
We will issue a formal notification of a change to the contract in due course but we wanted to make you aware of our plans.
This is an important step in Alamy's future and Alamy CEO, James West will be moving to New York in March to oversee the first six months of operation and to get a better understanding of the market.

Zrozumiałem, ze otwierają biuro w USA, zamierzają zwiększyć sprzedaż itp.
Ale tego nie wiem jak rozumieć :

- Alamy's percentage for direct sales and for distributor sales will rise by 5%
- An end to bank transfer fees
- No more cheque fees
- No charges on foreign exchange fees for payments
Tzn, że nie będzie przelewów i czeków ? to jak będa płacić ... (jeśli dobrze to rozumiem). Co się jeszcze zmieni?

RE: Zmiany na Alamy - jgxp - 2009-02-20
Teraz w wyszukiwarce jest opcja wyszukiwania "Commercial - Images suitable for advertising, design and promotion ". Co zrobić aby jakieś zdjęcie, które odpowiada tej kategorii znalazło się w niej. Coś się zaznacza przy opisywaniu zdjęć, czy Alamy samo wybiera fotki do tej kategorii?
RE: Zmiany na Alamy - ajt - 2009-02-20
Jest tam taki wpis na blogu:
http://www.alamy.com/Blog/contributor/archive/2009/02/17/4119.aspx
Czyli na początek sami wybrali coś testowo na chybił trafił. Cały czas mają zamiar to rozbudowywać i uaktualniać, a jeśli chcesz dorzucić swoje zdjęcia, możesz wysłać im propozycję na maila.
Sugerować należy tylko te zdjęcia, co do których możesz zagwarantować w 100%, że masz wszelkie potrzebne model i property release. Jeśli tak jest tylko w przypadku części zdjęć, można te "pewne" przerzucić na inny pseudonim i zaproponować jako swoją kolekcję
Trudno powiedzieć, na ile to zadziała w przypadku zwykłych, szeregowych fotografów, chyba są bardziej dużymi agencjami zainteresowani, przynajmniej na początek

A ja dostałem takiego mail'a. Chyba faktycznie nadchodzą zmiany na Alamy:
"Dear Alamy contributor,
We have seen some dramatic declines with some of our newspaper customers this quarter,
ranging from 30% to 70% down year on year. I would like to share some thoughts with you
on how we can reverse this trend.
I have spent the past week visiting photo editors and managing editors at several of the
major UK titles to get a better understanding of why this is happening and where they see
their businesses going.
All of the people I met with made the following observations:
- Advertising revenues have fallen dramatically this quarter in most cases
- Print sales have been falling and will continue to do so
- Online versions of newspapers have yet to deliver a revenue stream comparable with that of print
- Most titles have been making redundancies in recent months
- Editorial budgets have been cut
- Further editorial cuts are anticipated
Newspapers are going through a painful transition period that is being exacerbated by the recession.
Most of the main titles think they will survive, but it is not yet clear what the right commercial
structure for them will be. The only thing that is certain is that difficult choices and further
cost reductions lie ahead of them.
Alamy is the only large supplier of imagery not offering a subscription scheme to newspapers and
we are being squeezed out of this market by offerings from our largest competitors.
These deals are in addition to, and separate from, newswire subscriptions. In the past we have
managed to keep away from these deals because we represent a lot of material that isn't available
anywhere else. Unfortunately the recession is forcing a change in behaviour at the picture desks
that leaves little opportunity for image providers who don't offer unlimited downloads for a fixed fee.
To put this in context, our largest UK newspaper customer has ordered their picture desk to only download
images from agencies they have subscription deals with.
To keep our newspaper revenues alive this year we will have to move quickly to regain the ground lost
to our rivals. The good news is that it's not too late to act - most of our customers want us to
succeed because they like the speed, simplicity, and choice on Alamy.
Broadly speaking any subscription offering needs to be priced at or below the total expenditure
for the previous year for an unlimited number of downloads. Wherever possible we will allocate revenue
to contributors based on usage, but in some cases we may have to divide up the revenue based on downloads.
It is hard to judge in advance what impact this will have on the average price per image for this market.
At one end of the scale prices will remain at or slightly below 2008 prices, whereas at the other end prices
might fall by up to 50% or perhaps even more. My expectation is that we will see a mixture of both.
We face a stark choice - either we adapt to match the competition, or we accept that UK newspaper
revenue will continue to decline sharply over 2009.
Please feel free to email me at my personal email address - mailto:jameswest@alamy.com -
if you have any concerns you would like to raise.
Best wishes,
James West
Alamy CEO"
