0 M.Chapman Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 (edited) https://prints.alamy.com/ ? But the images that are "available" via this URL seem to be very, very limited.. e.g. Only 42 with "London" in caption or tag. A couple of weeks ago I was seeing the "Buy print" button on some of my images when not logged in, but Im not seeing it now.

0 Harry Harrison Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 (edited) I've never seen it when logged in. It's still there below the zoom if I open a Private Window in Firefox. This page also has the new simplified Standard and Enhanced pricing If you go to 'Buy the print' then the print options page has the sales@mediastorehouse email for assistance. This seems to apply for any image, incuding Editorial. It seems I can go through the process and 'Buy the print' but it looks as if I need to register with Media Storehouse, "Account details for this store is separate to other Alamy web sites" (surely that should be 'are separate'?). As with Mark, getting to see this screen used to be simpler, I just needed to log out. Edited September 9 by Harry Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kimba Posted Monday at 19:32 Share Posted Monday at 19:32 This is news to me. Although the email they sent out this morning implies major features will fully integrated after the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, was this the 'Stockimo' email? People can buy prints right now, if you log out you should see the option. Unclear how it really works though as I haven't gone through and actually bought one though I believe some have had commission from prints already. There seems to be a 'Catch 22', you have to be unregistered to see the option but part of the print buying process invites you to register first, though you don't have to. Do you know what major features they were referring to? Surely this isn't going to drag on for another 3 months (!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kimba Posted Monday at 20:28 Share Posted Monday at 20:28 Harry; ... In 2025 we're looking to have the whole contributor experience fully optimised for all devices including mobile. ... I probably took a big leap in what I read into that sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember that at the beginning of this year there was talk of a new AIM, maybe that does mean a phone app as well then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kimba Posted Monday at 20:38 Share Posted Monday at 20:38 I have a "Purchase Prints" option on my own web site, which I'm just now starting to promote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you have missed the discussion on the new 'Buy the print' option you may well be affected if the Media Storehouse prices undercut your prices, and they undoubtedly will especially as the commission that the contributor gets is likely to be a fraction of what they charge for the print.

Correcting myself, it's not as simple as just signing out of Alamy, I have to be signed out of Alamy but I still have to create a Private Window and then both the new Team & Individual licences together with the "Buy the print" option are visible. Pretty sure others are reporting sales from these new Team and Individual licences. So in the wider world does this mean that these options are only available to buyers coming to Alamy for the first time, who have not registered?
