Dear all,

To celebrate my 1000th clip online, I am dropping the price of all my clips to $10, for one week, until November 15th, 2009.

Please spread the word.

Thanks,
Eden.

Can dropping prices be done in mass... or done one at a time?

Go to: my uploads
Select: status: online
Search
Then at the bottom of the page, select: ALL
Then "for all selected clips": Set price.

But please don't copy my lucrative marketing techniques. Use this method only to raise your prices.

Hehe...

Hey Hey... Please remember .... The best form of flattery is taking an idea and running with it. Tell Sears and JCPenney, Walmart etc that they need not copy ( recognize ) an idea.
There is no original idea anymore......HeHehe!
"So Glaydis where is the Beef ?"
I still remember myself suggesting months ago 1/2 off Pond5 or FREE Clips. And only took a scoulding and HeHeHe also then... THIS IS HUMOR :)

And thanx for the assistance in showing me the way... That is truely a professional in wideweb!

Do you think you'll get paid for the first clip you sold ???

NO !.. ....But why that question ?
Geez this is a rough crowd !
BTW ..... I sold two ( 2 ) :)
Quality and subject matter, most likely the reason for me not selling more.
I am a learner in a "ocean" of professionals.
As well as trying to ask the DUH questions.

Jason: Wideweb was very helpful ( thank you ) even tho I plan to use his idea.

In my humble opinion such 'marketing' technique will not work. You can check the results using this search string: artist:wideweb salegt:0

My dadie once told me
"Try Nothing, and you get the same result."
I'snt that provocative ?

What you to do is upload more clips not lower the price. There has got be more around than just the lake.

Weeeeell: Not really true guy.
In my 32 years of retailing ( Several Dept Stores in USA ) we did not buy more to sell at same price. We regularly bought / sold / Had sales and Pre-Planned Markdowns as the inventory grew stale, seasonal or out of vogue.
Nothing wrong with a sale or two Jason. Or at the least even giving something away occasionally to bring people to the store or a web site.
The larger the Inventory grows the harder to find amongst the thousands of trees. Although True it gives great assortment.
OK not really and totally applicable to Pond5 ... But reasonable !
"Getting down to the Nitty gritty.. Nothing wrong with a sale."
That is also called Capitalistic Competition.. right

As I meander this thought. as well as be-labor it.
Upload more clips ...But keep them competitive also

Thanks guys. I think "price slashing" for a short period of time is not much different than the "free clip" tool. I wish I could do "buy 3 get 1 free" etc. Eventually it will draw more buyers.

WOW we are actually think alike. Have you spent time in Retailing also ?
I have bought Video CD Albums from members who are of this site, from their other Video Sites.... re:3 CDs with Multiple Scenic Videos on them.
Promotion is good and brings a larger traffic .... Uploading more and more to Pond5 also allows more choices and will drive buyers BACK TO POND5 after any special promotion.... But then thats only me ... Not much Video experience ( as my site shows ) but much retail and promotion ability.

wideweb thanx for the input on key words:

But after trying WordSpaceWord it looks like there is no added attempt to make these key words functional after saving them.
Most sites automatically insert a Coma or "Word" quotes after a phrase.
Im still wondering how Pond5 identifies a Key Phrase or Key Word w/o using a " or a, ???? Please assist !

If the Key Phrase consists of Key Words, then there is no problem.

OK .... I think that it is beginning to sink in :)
