John Mitchell 4,819 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) My last distributor sale was in June. Anyone else noticing a decline? Trend or just a blip of some kind? P.S. I usually have 2-4 distrib sales per month on average. Edited August 14, 2018 by John Mitchell Link to post Share on other sites
Normspics 127 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I'm still getting some one this month and two in July Link to post Share on other sites
vpics 665 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I've had many distributor sales this month (France and Italy). Link to post Share on other sites
John Mitchell 4,819 Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Turns out that a sale reported today is a distributor one. So much for that theory... Link to post Share on other sites
Ollie 95 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 For the first time in memory I had no distributor sales in July, while getting 17 direct sales from Alamy. Normally about 20% of my monthly sales (in numbers, not value) are distributor sales. Link to post Share on other sites
Bryan 14,689 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Dismal month to date with only 3 sales, but one a distributor for $75, a few last month too. I was thinking the opposite, there seems to be more distributor sales coming through. Link to post Share on other sites
Reimar 431 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I had 7 distributor sales last month, and two this month so far. Unfortunately they are not disappearing. I wish they were all direct. Link to post Share on other sites
Cryptoprocta 783 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 My distributor sales have dwindled so much I looked last week to see if I had opted-out then forgotten. Turns out I hadn't (i.e. I'm 'in'), but my last distributor sale was in January. Link to post Share on other sites
gvallee 3,415 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 My distributor sales were: x9 in May x3 in June x4 in July None so far in August but it's turning out a very slow month for me so far. Gen Link to post Share on other sites

Craig Yates 1,901 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Thought it was just me. August exceedingly slow, and zooms down as well. Need some positive traction in the second half of this month. Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Ventura 5,875 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Two dropped in tonight.....so things are looking up a bit. Yes, hopeful that the second half of August will make up for the first half! Link to post Share on other sites

Turns out I hadn't (i.e. I'm 'in'), but my last distributor sale was in January. Huh, and that was tempting fate. I got two in today (same subject) from the Czech Republic "bulk discount", netting me 99c each, my lowest-ever sale price here. :-( Added: And by an incredible coincidence, another one (different subject) has just dropped in, all details the same except to Slovenia, same 99c net "bulk discount" price. I would like to tempt fate again, by stating it's been even longer since I had a $$$ sale. Edited August 18, 2018 by Cryptoprocta Link to post Share on other sites
Reimar 431 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Yes, I had two of the same to Serbia and Slovenia yesterday - small web use. So far I have 4 distributor sales this month, so they're not dropping off (although sometimes I wish they would). At least we're back on topic :-) Link to post Share on other sites

Reimar 431 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Two more distributor sales today for a total of 6 out of 12 sales so far this month. No - I'd say those lower cut sales are not declining. Link to post Share on other sites
