lorenza Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Good afternoon everybody. Flipping through the pages of this forum, (I'm following you even if I'm not very talkative) I noticed that some of you mentioned alamy sales mails. I wanted to ask you if, when a photo is sold, alamy sends an email notification. I did not find any options on this. Thanks in advance for your intervention lorenza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenza Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 specific to the question better, I would not want to be misunderstood. Alamy, when there is a sale, send an email to the tax payer (before the amount appears in the profile)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I've not had one. This seems to be a new development for larger sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 They send out an email for your first sale and I recently had one congratulating me on reaching the milestone of earning over $5,000 (nett) on Alamy but that's been my only experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I seem to only get emails about the deletion of of images of places that don't want photos of their property on Alamy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Kelly Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I've only received one, and that was today. In it they congratulated me on a large sale and I got pretty excited until I realized they were referring to a sale from last month, ha! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avpics Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I reckon they've seen the 'slow month' thread and decided the contributors need a 'lift', focus group, blue sky positive thinking..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your intervention lorenza There is no usual e-mail from Alamy when a sale is made. just today they seem to have started sending out an e-mail regarding large sales - I got one today referring to a sale at the beginning of this month. This is new. Kumar (the Doc one) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods must have got fed up trying to decide who to tick off, so they just canned the lot. Probably for the best. Parts of it were a bit of a running sore to be honest.

After getting quite excited this morning I've only just found my larger sale from last month too, mentioned in the congrats email you mention. That said, I'm delighted to say it's been a record month - I think in terms of both actual sales as well as revenue. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarsierspectral Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Well, I got one of those "congratulations" emails, but I don't see such sale neither this month, last month and not even for the whole last year. Is it possible that it's coming, or is Alamy falsely getting my hopes up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Got the congrats mail, but, disappointingly, it referred to a $800 sale last month. In the past I have received an email following a live news sale, maybe my first, I can't recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
