Top Microstock Sellers of 2009—PDN points to themes and trends

ImageExchange Raises Awareness and Connection for Purchase, whatever the Trends may be!

PDN editor David Walker posted in his blog of January 20, 2010 that stock image purchases are a rough barometer of cultural trends and values, pointing to some of the best sellers of 2009 from iStockphoto, Dreamstime, and Fotolia.

We are very pleased to report that most of the highlighted images representing usage trends in green themes, nature/health, families, business topics, and Christmas themes (home-made cards to economize) are recognized by ImageExchange.  For beta users who have installed the Firefox add-on, the images are represented with the  PicScout ImageExchange download icon which allows the users to connect to the licensor in one-click.

With Image ExchangeTM, photographers through licensors - and soon via other platforms using ImageIRCTM - can raise awareness of their images and make them more immediately accessible to creative professionals and other image buyers to learn more and transact for rights immediately. ImageExchange images are inherently more visible to targeted audiences as they follow the latest trends, whatever they may be at any time or during any season.

Check out the PDN post and let us know what you think. Could ImageExchange help promote images as best sellers for 2010?  Request to be part of the ImageExchange beta, and you can judge for yourself!

While Every Image Gets Its Credit, Image Exchange recognized images may generate more sales, too!

Dreamstime licenses a new microstock file every 2 to 3 seconds at our site. The PicScout ImageExchange suggests a quantum acceleration of Dreamstime image licensing, as our images become available everywhere they are seen.

We applaud PicScout and are very proud to participate with our renowned collection of millions of microstock images.
