Tim Ayers Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Hi Apparently one possible route to getting more revenue is via sales used for advertising, however virtually all my sales so far have been for editorial purposes. My photos are non released but that is not always applicable to street photos the majority without people, so why no big advertising sales yet (maybe my photos are just sub-standard)?

Thyrsis Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 We’ve been with Alamy for 19 years and have only had one biggish advertising sale......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Walker Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Only one advertising sale for me too. Used in China for gardening products as far as I recall. $800+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Myford Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I had a sale for promotional brochures back in 2007 (low $$$). All others have been specifically editorial, except for the most recent, which had a somewhat contradictory description: "Ad and Marketing Package ... Excludes advertising" (high $$).

Joe Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 My last sale of the month in November was a $$$$ direct sale to Gremany. Model released hiking image taken in the UK. My previous, and highest ever fee, ironically, was a couple of years ago to a UK newspaper. Used to promote their online app. Before the sale had cleared, always a worry with high fees, i spotted it on a big screen in an airport departure lounge.

Tim Ayers Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Thanks for all your thoughts, I'm encouraged that it's not the only one stuck with cheap editorial stuff and it seems that maybe Alamy aren't a big player in this field. Congratulations on the few big bucks sales that have been made, I think releasing and healthy amount of luck/vision are the two biggest factors.

AlbertSnapper Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I've had two $$$$ advertising sales so far with Alamy. Howabout a hat trick ? 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thyrsis Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Looking at your work I don’t think there are many images that could be used for advertising as they have unreleased property or people. Why not try sorting out your images that could be used for advertising into a separate pseudonym so that they are re-ranked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
