Travelshots Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 i usually get sales reports posted fairly regularly but recently very few sales have been reported. It was like this last month until almost the end of september when lots of sales came in. Have accounts dept changed the way they report sales ?

Sultanpepa Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I put the late in the month sales down to the newspapers settling their monthly invoices. If you're getting sales coming in there's no need for complaint, as long as they keep coming in yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The last few month have all started slowly for me, before - usually - improving towards the end. I'm hoping the same will happen this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Bell Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think if I have an upsurge it will bring me DOWN to my normal level. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Maybe Alamy can develop a smartphone app. to counteract incomania. (The constant desire to check your income every ten minutes.) Every time a sale gets reported the app will cause a small electric shock to be emitted from the smartphone. It could double as a defibrillator. Brilliant idea: "Shockimo."

dustydingo Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 The critical mass of stock photography has just about been reached. Gary, if you mean every subject with commercial potential has been covered, I'm afraid I totally/absolutely/indubitably disagree :-) And that's before even considering the equally false thought (IMO) that all those subjects already covered cannot be covered in "better", more-attractive-to-buyer ways :-) dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a search and a zoom this week that only returned 18 results, and only 5 matched the subject searched so there is endless opportunity you just need to do the research and use measures data as a starting point.

Steven Gillis Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Will need nothing short of a miracle And it's happening with a good 3 figure sale this morning ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I had a four figure sale this morning. Pity there was a decimal point between the second and third figures. At least it was a sale. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Seven in the last day and a half including three of members of the shadow cabinet - they are already helping me (slowly) out of poverty and they aren't even in power. Fingers crossed for the remainder of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Yes I've had 9 in the last three days. By the 26th I only had 2 sales. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Doom and gloom until Monday. Now sales are dropping in nicely. I think it's all newspaper sales coming through right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Woods Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Doom and gloom full stop for me. Nothing above $60, lots below $10 and I am at about 50% of my usual monthly gross. Have just cancelled the order on the new Jag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelshots Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 couple of good sales then a bunch at microstock prices... worst month ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 October sales have been good for me with a surge in the last week of the month. My sales values continue their downward trend - in fact they are falling much faster than my volume is increasing. Depressing!! dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
