How to Save Big on High-Quality Stock Photos
Introduction
Images and graphics play a crucial role in building brand awareness and conveying a company’s message. But have you ever wondered where these images come from? Enter the world of stock photos.
The Importance of Stock Photos
In the business of trade show displays and design, finding high-resolution photos suitable for large format printing is imperative. Low-quality images can result in pixelated graphics when blown up to poster size, so high-quality images are a must.
The Challenge of Cost
For giants like Nike or McDonald's, hiring professional photographers for high-resolution images is a breeze. However, small businesses often face sticker shock when purchasing stock images. So, how can you acquire high-resolution images without breaking the bank?
Types of Stock Images
1. Rights Managed (RM): This option requires you to specify how, where, and when the image will be used. Costs can range from $975 to $1,350 for a single trade show display per year.
2. Royalty Free (RF): These images have a one-time fee. Prices range from $180 to $350, but multiple images can add up quickly.
Enter the World of Microstock
Imagine reducing your image costs to $10 per photo. Thanks to the digital age, Microstock platforms have revolutionized image buying and selling. Websites like iStockPhoto and ShutterStock allow users to buy and sell high-quality images at affordable rates. They offer Royalty Free images with Extended licenses for large-scale printing.
Cost Savings
If you purchased Royalty Free images from industry giants, costs could range from $1,980 to $3,850. Rights Managed images might set you back $10,750 to $14,850. Microstock offers a more budget-friendly alternative, changing the landscape of stock photography.
A Note on the Industry
The affordability and convenience of Microstock have caught the attention of major players. In fact, Getty Images acquired iStockPhoto for $50 million.
Conclusion
For those needing high-quality images for trade shows, exhibits, or any large format printing, explore your options in the Microstock world. You'll find cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality.
