Michael Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I wonder does anyone know why alamy does not include publication details and usage dates in their sales information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 It is standard practice among stock agencies not to supply the type of info that you mentioned. At least that has been my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Baker Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 They want to protect the identity of their buyers to stop contributors bypassing the agent and claiming any future extra %. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giphotostock Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 At least one agency out there reports who the client is (for direct sales) but not rights granted. However, they'd tell you the latter if you ask your editor nicely. GI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 And also I suspect they dont want us photogs pestering the buyers for tear sheets etc Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I had an agency that showed online stats in real time showing the client name,when they viewed,downloaded,then when and where it was published,amt paid, date invoiced and date paid. So saying agencies don't do it,is not always correct. I have two other agencies that have comprehensive sales reports that show the client,sometimes the issue and the amt paid.

CandyAppleRed Images Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I managed a couple of sales through Getty Contributor last month and the sales info was fully available. It would be nice if Alamy did the same as it would save a lot of querying the Sales Team for possible infringements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
