Fotolia gets into online design services for businesses
More importantly, you can switch your Fotolia account to Adobe Stock, transferring all your existing credits and unused image downloads, so you don't miss out in downloads you already paid for.
Fotolia just acquired the online design company Wilogo in a smart move to enhance the services of Fotolia from stock photography and stock vector illustrations to personal design services that can be ordered online. Wilogo is a crowdsource design online service that positions it services as online design contests for businesses in need of design services.Fotolia has made a powerful move by acquiring this platform and has just set its services apart from other stock photo agencies.
Stock photo agencies sell pre-made products
Stock photo agencies are a successful business model that sells pre-made stock photos, images, vectors and in some cases audio and video clips. Customers browse the library of images and illustrations and buy on demand. Instantly companies and designers can download images at a huge savings from large libraries of photos, images, illustrations, audio and video. This online service saves time and money and has flexible image rights from royalty free to editorial to rights managed options.
Fotolia has added personal design services for companies
Not all companies want stock images for the marketing needs of their company. Logos are one area where companies are looking for personal designs from a professional designer. With the speed that companies are opening these days, personal images are needed now and companies want a place that can service their timelines not the timelines of designers. Creating a company is hard enough but choosing the company image is even harder as this can make or break your success. Crowd sourcing is a popular option for design services as the company has access to hundreds of designers that all come from different design perspectives.
Fotolia has just grown their design base by adding Wilogo
Folotial already works with thousand of designers and customers in their stock photo agency but by acquiring Wilogo they have just increased their access to new designers and created a great opportunity for their current designers. The winner is the customer but the designers now have more options to participate in design services.
