Alamy launches Limited Use scheme
PRESS RELEASE Alamy launches Limited Use scheme Oxfordshire, UK, 9 June 2008 Alamy, the largest stock photo site on the web, is launching a new scheme offering customers the chance to buy images for limited uses for a nominal fee. Aimed at new users like teachers or bloggers who do not normally buy pictures, the Limited Use scheme, due to go live imminently, is initially being trialled in the UK only. It will be launched worldwide in the near future. Customers looking for photos for certain web uses such as blogs and social networking sites or for educational uses like classroom presentations can buy from Alamy for as little as 60p per picture. So far around 3.5 million images - approximately a quarter of the 12 million pictures on the Alamy site - are available for Limited Use. The choice will increase as the Alamy’s ever growing collection continues to expand. Contributors to Alamy have the option of making their images available for Limited Use as well as being sold conventionally, giving them the opportunity to earn additional income without cannibalising their existing sales. Alamy CEO James West said: "This opens up our encyclopaedic collection to customers who can’t afford conventional licences. It also allows our contributors to compete in the low cost markets without undermining their existing revenue streams." The scheme differs from micro payment because it covers RF and RM images, the images are for sale at ‘normal’ prices elsewhere and the pricing may differ according to the project.
