Digital Frame Advertising
Walk into a bathroom of a bar or the waiting room of a doctor¡¯s office and you will start to see the future of digital frames. Posted on the walls are mini frames that are connected to the net or have information stored. These digital photo frames display a variety of local advertising (restaurants, gyms and other local venues). It¡¯s good for companies, because their message gets to the right local audience. Plus, if you are interested in advertising on these frames you are probably dealing with much cheaper rates then traditional media (newspapers, radio spots, etc.)
E-frames
Frames really can really complete a photo and separate it from the distractions of its surroundings. Now, the same principle that pertains to framed pictures offline can also help when you¡¯re online.
If you are using visuals on a website, digital picture frames come in pretty handy. They can help separate the photos from any copy. Plus, in some cases, the frames can actually be big enough to have simple messages in them like ¡°click here¡± or a visual caption.
*Most service sites that host personal sites people can create this advantage (they will include this digital photo frame as an option in their templates).
From You to Their Frame
Digital frames can actually help bring people far away closer together. Year's ago if you wanted any long distance relative or friend to get a photo of your newborn baby you'd have to send it through the mail (which of course then you'd worry about the pictures being lost or damaged). Plus, because of the slowness of film processing and the mail it would be kinda hard to constantly update them on your toddler¡¯s progress. Times aren¡¯t so hard anymore.
Today, keeping everyone up-to-date visually has never been easier with digital photos and digital photo frames. Just email the person the digital photo and they are able to download the image to the digital frame and display it. Done¡ªfaster than it would take to address, stamp and lick the envelope.
Picture this¡
Walk into a grandparent¡¯s home and you¡¯ll know it right away. They¡¯ll probably be pictures galore in frames all over the house. Showing off all of their prides and joys. With a digital picture frame you can create space by removing all of those frames, but one. That¡¯s because this type of frame has the ability to show off more than one digital photo. So you can have a mini-slide show anytime you want. Plus, it¡¯s extremely easy to update and add to. Just plug it into a laptop and download. Done. Cost wise, (since this is still a relatively new product) one of these frames will probably run you around $200.
Frame Before you Print
Image editing software not only offers you all kinds of options to add to the picture itself, but also offers options to add things around the picture as well. You can surround the image with all kinds of digital frame patterns (like lines and borders).
You can add all kinds of colors or even a visual of an actual frame. A digital photo frame on a picture can help separate it when placed in presentations or help call attention to it on a poster. Digital frames can even highlight a special kid something you want to hang on the fridge.
