John Walker Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Why is it that most times that I get a 'big' sale it's via a distributor? Always a downer when you see a 'big' sale and then see in the sales report it's a distributor sale with big minuses as commisions. Most of my Alamy direct sales are for smaller amounts. 😕 . Any ideas why this is? John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Estall Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 never had a distributor sale anywhere near the BIG area. You sure your experience isn't against the run of play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I have found the opposite to be the case for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Looks like you are unique, John. I’d like to see a big sale anyway I can get it, just for the excitement! I do understand the letdown, though. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthera tigris Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 My experience has been the opposite as well. So much so I pulled out of distribution and have gone Alamy only (plus Japan in distribution because of language) on the thought that if they wanted the image enough they would have to go to Alamy themselves - so far this is has not been the case though they simply don't buy (or have not yet).. hoping for a change ;+) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I find that there often isn't a lot of price difference between distributor and direct sales these days. However, the majority of my $$$ sales (including one for $200 this month) are direct ones. It seems that "big sale" might mean different things to different contributors, though.
