My last post on this subject talked a little about what type of model categories sell the most so this time I figured I would cover another popular question which is "Where do the buyers come from". So we decided to pull up some statistics on that and show the top 25 buying countries.
The chart above was run on all orders from 2009 (up until September 8, 2009) and covers all sales types (models, stock photos, etc) but only the top 25 countries are shown in this graph. As you can see, 41% of customers come from the USA though we have some months where that number may go as low as 30% or so.
After that, we have Great Britain in second place and then Germany in third. From there we have Canada, Australia, France, Italy and Spain all fairly close to the same amount. When you get around 12th place through 25th they all come very close to the same percentages overall but the order counts will be different by a few hundred to a few thousand still.
It's also interesting to note that this year alone we have served around 150 different countries and that number goes up quite a bit if we include previous years. We are a truly global company and get orders from just about everywhere on the planet and it's always great to hear from our various customers in all of these great countries and know that we are able to serve that many different places.
