Our NYC office in Brooklyn opened in February and the sales team have been out on the road and on the phones getting to know their new customers.
I have also been getting out as much as possible and listening to what our customers are saying.
Here's some of the things I've been hearing alot:
- That they are pleased they can speak with sales reps in the US
- That Alamy has images that they can't find anywhere else, especially international material
- That they would like to see more US content
- That they are increasingly experimenting with video
- That the economic climate is pretty awful and budgets are being slashed dramatically
In some respects it's a shame that the recession took hold just as we got started in the US, but on other hand there's never been a more important time to be in close contact with our key customers. Understanding their evolving needs and responding to competitive pressures are essential parts of our survivial strategy for the next couple of years.
