Fotosearch Makes 10 Years

Congratulations to Fotosearch who celebrated their 10th birthday last week.

Fotosearch grew out of Publishing Perfection, founded in 1987, when electronic publishing was in its infancy.

Fotosearch Stock Photography,based in Waukesha, Wisconsin, celebrated its 10 year anniversary last week. Fotosearch provides royalty-free and rights-managed stock imagery, featuring over 3.25 million images from 150 providers at one site.

Fotosearch.com was launched August 10th 1998 and has since grown by leaps and bounds. In addition to featuring over 3.25 million images from 150 providers at one site, Fotosearch also holds one of the largest collections of stock footage on the internet. The ability to search HD clips was recently added and makes it easy to browse through over 65,000 footage clips.

From the beginning the company targeted graphics and multimedia professionals through its monthly catalogue. Expert sales staff provided the assistance required for buying graphics tools such as design software, laser printers, and scanners. In addition to hardware and software, the company began to offer high quality stock images in the early 1990s.

In 1996, Publishing Perfection launched a website offering an online catalog,
expanded product information and special discounts. In 1998, the Fotosearch web site was introduced where customers could search multiple stock photography publishers at a single site. The site is now offered in more than a dozen languages with a fully functional, easy to use search, and the ability to pay in local currency for each site. 24-hour customer support by phone was added in 2005, and is also available for
most languages.
