Ed Rooney Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Here we are on April Fool's Day with Eastern coming up. Do you find that holiday theme images sell well? ??? Edo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) That's where most of my licences come from. All of them, in fact, this year, if you take a wide definition as somewhere you might go on, or whilst on, holiday. Köln, Lisbon, Bordeaux, Hauts de France, NZ, Vegas (in 1992), Ravenna, Suffolk, Cumbria, Museum of London. 20% in or of museums, in fact. 7% nuclear power stations (always conveniently located on beaches). Which is why I don't have any licences from the last 2 years, although recent licences have always been quite rare for me. Biggest sale this year, nearly half the revenue: the Hauts de France one, for marketing use. In France. Coals to Newcastle.

VbFolly Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I think Ed is referring to special occasions, not travel. I can only remember one sale of Christmas decorations, but I don't have that many images of this type in my port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanderingemu Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 i have a feeling traditional Holiday based images is more the domain of MS package stuff. only licences have been for xMas markets for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Ah, a classic American English vs. British English problem. In the States we don't use the term 'holiday' for a trip or a vacation. 'Holiday' refers to Christmas, Easter, or alike. And that is what I was asking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh la la! and the mixed up like me. not even sure if there would be a word to encompasses April's Fool and Easter. at first thought Easter is "un jour férié", but since people don't get today off it's different.

Michael Ventura Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I have not sold many holiday celebration images, but I have had seasonal photos, such as a place in fall, winter etc… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abiyoyo Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) Very little as far as I remember. This for example. and this as well very recently Edited April 1, 2022 by Abiyoyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Some of my Mexican "holiday" images have done well -- e.g. Day of the Dead, Mexican Independence Day -- along with a couple of Canada Day shots. I've licensed a few Xmas-related pics (not decorations, though, more editorial subjects). Other than the above, I have very few holiday/celebration images. No doubt the Easter Bunny will pass me by again this year. 🐰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Hatton Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Most of my images on here were taken on a holiday of some kind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Never sold a Christmas or Easter image. Those two subjects are all I have. Maybe a couple of July 4th…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Xmas markets indeed. Yesterday's infringement revenue was one: It had been the subject of an earlier infringement chase of about 30 cases in decent countries alone. Total revenue was about the same as yesterday's fee on it's own. Famous buildings or places with Christmas decorations are doing well also. And don't forget Christmas shopping! Anything seasonal that people can spend money on or can visit has the potential to be a repeat seller. Provided your images and keywords are any good and you have a reasonable rank. As always: Just use AoA. wim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Of all the holidays - and I have a bunch of Easter & Christmas stuff - I have done best with Pi Day, of all things, and New Year's and July 4th. (But those British "holiday," i.e. vacation travel images, are my best sellers by far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 OTT Xmas decorations in someone's garden has sold a couple of times. Easter, not something that impinges upon my life much these days. I guess that we buy some chocolate for the grandbairns, but that's about it. Bank holiday Monday, not sure how you would illustrate that ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) This Mexican Day of the Dead altar is probably my best-selling holiday/celebration image. I'm the guy on the right (I've lost a lot of weight in recent years). 🤠 Edited April 7, 2022 by John Mitchell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
