Jupiterimages, a division of Jupitermedia Corporation (Nasdaq: JUPM),
today announced that its leading photo subscription Web site Photos.com
will now sell images at all resolutions on a single image basis. In
August, Photos.com introduced the first stock image subscription to
combine user-generated content with professionally shot images. Single
image prices will range from $5.00 for multimedia resolution images (1-2
MB) up to $70.00 for ultra resolution images (50 MB). No credits are
required to purchase these images.
The user-generated content on Photos.com is supplied by Stockxpert (www.stockxpert.com),
a leading source for community created content (Stockxpert is also owned
by Jupiterimages). Since introducing the groundbreaking Photos.com Plus
subscription in August, overall Stockxpert contributor royalties have
increased by 11%. Stockxpert images also represent over half of all
Photos.com Plus subscription downloads, and 31% of all Photos.com
pay-per-downloads. Contributors receive a 30% commission for all single
image purchases.
"Jupiterimages continues to demonstrate its
unique ability to innovate and lead the industry by leveraging content
across its portfolio of sites to create value for contributors and
customers alike,” said Alan M. Meckler,
Chairman and CEO of Jupitermedia Corporation. "The
introduction of single image sales at all resolutions represents a
tremendous revenue opportunity for Stockxpert contributors by delivering
their images to a large base of established customers. Creative
professionals and image buyers can now choose from the leading
subscription options or buy just the few images they need at an
affordable price without having to first purchase credits.”
About Photos.com and Stockxpert
Photos.com became an industry innovator and leader when it introduced
the online image subscription model to the creative world in October of
2002. In a very short time Stockxpert has become the highest quality
community-contributed collection. This powerful combination of great
content and convenient purchase options brings all the fresh, stylized,
relevant community-generated content to millions of image buyers with
the choice, flexibility and price options that do not exist anywhere
today.
