Michael 13 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 post Share on other sites
John Mitchell 4,678 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 post Share on other sites

giphotostock 59 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 post Share on other sites
Doc 2,034 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 post Share on other sites
Linda 352 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 131 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 post Share on other sites
