Improvements to Veer Marketplace

Good news! We are making more improvements on Veer Marketplace, and we’ve just pushed a release live with several features and enhancements. Some are specifically for you – our contributors - and others are for our customers.

So what’s new in this release?

New upload options - a top request from vector artists:
- While we will continue to offer auto-preview generation for those that prefer it, you can now submit your own JPEG preview file for your vectors.
- Additionally, the system can extract any embedded IPTC/XMP metadata from the JPEG preview file.
- Both of these new options work via FTP and the web upload tool.
- Click here to see full instructions on how to use the new features.

Sort capability on Dashboard tabs - improved portfolio management:
- This has been another of your top requests – especially from those with larger portfolios.
- Sort options added across Pending, Approved, and Rejected tabs.
- Approved tab offers the most sort options – sort by SKU number, date, number of views, number of downloads, and total earnings.

Clarified workspace control “Media Type”:
- The control to mark illustration files that are in JPEG format was previously hard to find. We’ve made it easier to find and use!
- No need to make changes for photos – but do use this to make sure our system properly recognizes illustrations in JPEG format. This helps ensure your JPEG illustrations show up correctly when buyers use our search filters.
- .EPS vector files are recognized and marked as illustrations automatically – nothing to change.

Addition of dynamic display of four recent images on member pages:
- As part of efforts to connect our Community features in Veer Ideas more closely to Marketplace, we’ve added a feature to your member page that will automatically show your four most recent files – with direct links to your collection.

Enhanced search results
- We are implementing a revised search result that showcases a wider variety of content and contributors. As the size of the collection and number of contributors grows, we are evolving our search experience to best meet customer needs for quality, variety, breadth and depth.

We’ve got more new features and improvements on the way. Stay tuned for updates.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to post them here. You can reply to this post, or start a new thread. You can also contact us at contributorhelp@veer.com.

I am new to Veer marketplace having only joined a week ago. Everything you say above sounds great, but I am wondering how large both the contributor and customer base is and whether it is growing?

What are your projections for these going forward?

And then I said …
