Standard listing

A standard listing allows anyone to find your company by name, by the image content you hold, the licence types you offer or the services you provide. The results of searches by image content are ordered by specialisation: libraries that specialise in the content type sought are shown before generalist libraries.

Note that each brand or trading name is listed separately and requires a separate subscription.

Your library will also be eligible to be featured in a bi-monthly e-mail newsletter if your listing includes an image (see below).

Cost: US$100/year per listing (approx €64/£52). Discounts can reduce this to $56.

Premium listing

This ensures that you get noticed: premium listings are highlighted and show before standard listings in search results.

Cost: additional US$100/year per listing (approx €64/£52). Discounts can reduce this to $56.

Add images to your listing

Give your listing greater impact with three large thumbnail images above your details. It's a simple procedure to upload your images, and you can change them whenever you like from within your account.

Cost: US$50/year per listing (approx €32/£26). Discounts can reduce this to $28.

Monitor your listing's performance

While your listing subscription is active, you have access to a real-time bar chart showing you exactly how many times your entry in the directory is looked at, and how many times people have clicked through to your web site.

Bonus subscription

If you have never yet joined the Image Sources Network, your listing subscription will entitle you to a free 3-month trial of this industry networking service.

Vital statistics

The Image Sources web site receives around 30,000 hits a month, from around 8,500 visitors. The public directory sees around 12,000 page views a month, around 40% of which lead to click-throughs to libraries' web sites. The 'quality' of the visitors is high, mostly being professional picture buyers rather than browsers.

Image Sources is promoted through e-mails direct to picture buyers, primarily in the US and UK, and in all marketing promotions and advertising by Picturehouse US. We also advertise on Google (for search terms such as 'picture libraries', 'photo agencies' etc.)
