Polylooks launches new services for stock photo buyers

Stock image users to benefit from enhanced search and payment options

London/Darmstadt, April 15 2010 – Polylooks, Deutsche Telekom’s online photo agency, has made stock image buying even easier with enhanced search and the introduction of ClickandBuy payment options.

Customers frequently searching for specific images can now set up email alerts, so when new stock images matching the criteria become available on Polylooks they will be notified immediately. With the introduction of this service, microstock image buyers can guarantee that they will not miss any new image matching their requirements. They can also nominate their favourite photographers and receive notification of their latest additions to the site.

Via their user profile Polylooks users can modify or deactivate their email service, and decide how frequently they would like to receive updates – daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.

“The ability to receive instant alerts for new images for selected criteria is unique among online photo agencies,” said Norbert Weber, head of Polylooks. “Only with Polylooks can stock image buyers stay fully on top of new additions that are relevant for their publishing needs.”

Stock image shoppers also have increased payment choice, as Polylooks now enables the purchase of credits with the addition of ClickandBuy to its existing payment options, supporting an expanded range of credit cards, direct debit and payzone.
