Launched today by Imagepick Inc., VIVOZOOM radically changes the commercial image market by offering warranted Stock Photography at Microstock prices
Chicago, US/London, UK, May 21, 2009. Extensive market research in North America and Europe has revealed an unmet demand for guaranteed high-quality imagery at “Microstock” prices. VIVOZOOM’s unique offering will allow image buyers the opportunity to license high-quality images at affordable prices without compromising their requirements for legal guarantees.
“Our market research was invaluable in highlighting serious industry concerns about Microstock”, said Lawrence Gould, CEO.
“Corporate buyers of images were shocked when they discovered that images from existing Microstock businesses are not guaranteed legally safe to use. Our legal guarantee means we are the world’s only Microstock business to stand behind the provenance of its images. ”
With subscription and pay-as-you-go products, VIVOZOOM’s high-resolution photographic images and vector illustrations start from as little as 44 cents an image with 10,000 new images added each week. The website focuses on speed and ease-of-use and is the only venue that allows image buyers to download multiple images in a single file.
“Until now, there has been no solution for image buyers who need guaranteed imagery at Microstock prices,” said Jessica Berg, VIVOZOOM Sales Director North America. “Our clients are delighted with this new product. Many are facing cost-constraints and VIVOZOOM’s timing could not be better.”
About Microstock
Microstock is the fastest growing sector of the $2bn Stock Photography market that’s currently dominated by Getty Images and Bill Gates’ Corbis Images. Microstock brings unprecedented levels of affordability to licensing commercial images but, until today, has been handicapped by its failure to provide assurances that images have legal clearance for commercial use.
