Bigstock® Introduces New Pay As You Go Pricing
Simple, No-Hassle Cash Pricing Removes Complexity from Image Buying Experience
NEW YORK, July 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bigstock, one of the world's top online royalty-free stock image agencies, has announced a new cash pricing model designed to offer customers a simple, affordable, and transparent way to purchase images. This new program supplements Bigstock's existing credit model, giving customers more flexibility to buy single images based on their needs.

As the latest in a series of enhancements to the Bigstock user experience, the introduction of simple cash pricing allows customers to purchase single images, ranging from $2.99 for small images suitable for web usage up to $12.99 for extra large images and vectors. While clearly marked pricing removes complexity from the purchase experience for customers, contributors can expect to see an increase in download volume as Bigstock broadens its customer base.
"As we speak to designers, we hear a consistent frustration with other agencies and a desire for simplicity," said Miles Williams, General Manager of Bigstock. "In response to our competitors' complex credit plans and erratic price hikes, we're pleased to offer buyers a choice: There is now a viable alternative where designers can buy single images with no commitment, or stock up and save with credit packs."
Other recent improvements to the http://www.bigstock.com experience include:
-- 3 Million New Images - With a 30% increase in images over the past 6
months, Bigstock now has over 8.5 MM photos, vectors and illustrations
including ethnically diverse and locally relevant content.
-- A Superior User Experience - One of many new features in a simplified
user experience allows buyers to store a credit card and download an
image with two clicks.
-- Improved Merchandising - A fresh, new homepage includes an enhanced
slideshow and newly curated collections that make it easier than ever to
find images and be inspired.
-- Improved Search Functionality - Bigstock's constant improvement to its
search algorithm makes it one of the most accurate and easily searchable
stock libraries in the industry.
Bigstock's new simple Pay As You Go pricing model is available immediately. For more information, visit http://www.bigstock.com.
