Jay D Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Distribution, what exactly does it mean, especially in a digital world...and why would we be charged twice for distribution is confusing... Trying to get my head around this, not because i care about the loss of revenue but just to understand the processes we're involved in... 15 July 2024 Sale 2EHRE2K Sale 53.69 108.99 Uncleared 15 July 2024 Alamy Distribution Commission 2EHRE2K 80% of net 25.77 83.22 Uncleared 15 July 2024 Distributor Commission 2EHRE2K 40% Distributor Commission 21.48 61.74 Uncleared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Edwards Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Distribution still exists in a digital world, Alamy (PA Media) does not have offices or sales teams in every territory around the world. In those territories (newspapers & magazines etc) still want to "buy local" or deal with the local news agencies/picture agencies. Therefore Alamy (PA) supplies these territories via a local agency and there is probably a reciprocal agreement where images from that territory are distributed by (PA Media) in the UK and/or USA... It is very common in the digital image world and most agencies have these agreements to cover multiple territories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Standfast Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 The distributor sells the product on Alamy's behalf. No distributor then maybe or probably no sale. It's very much a bird in the hand versus two in the bush scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
