AllDigitalFrames.com is perhaps the only site on the Internet that focuses exclusively on selling digital picture frames and wireless digital frames. A quick perusal of the site reveals the digital picture frame market to composed of dozens of companies and hundreds of models sporting a wide variety of features.
I recently spoke to JT VonLunen, the co-founder and president of AllDigitalFrames.com, to learn about how the company came to be, whether its sales are growing along with the rest of the industry, and where he sees it all heading.
When did you start AllDigitalFrames.com and what led you to start the business?
We started with the idea in about January 2006. My business partner and I were in business school together and we were interested in doing a site that was built around e-commerce, selling a product in a niche market.
I had bought a couple of digital frames that previous Christmas for my mom and my grandma who were out of state, a couple thousand miles away. We had recently had a little girl, so I wanted to be able to share those pictures with my family.
When I was looking for these frames, we found that (the market) was very fragmented. We really liked the product and what the potential was, so we figured it would be a good space to get into.
We went through the process to figure out what we should name our site, looking through the different domains. We figured, “Let’s just use AllDigitalFrames. We want to do all the brands, have information on all the brands, reviews, and hopefully sell all the brands,” which we found later on wasn’t that easy.

It’s a wonder to me why wedding photographers don’t include a digital or wireless digital photo frame with the photographer’s package! Can you even THINK of a more wonderful way to display wedding photos, or any kind of pictures, for that matter?
With this sweet little Optimus 7″ digital picture frame, you can show off hundreds of your favorite photos. Just pop in your memory stick or card and you’ve off and running.
This little Optimus frame will hold hundreds of your favorite photos: one at a time or in various slideshows.
The Optimus frame is a very simple and basic frame. The flat black frame will go with just about any decor. It’s easy to operate, and the resolution is good.
If you are seeking the perfect gift for someone who is not particularly computer-savvy, this digital photo frame is perfection.
Many of us carry pictures of family and loved ones in our wallets. With the coming of digital picture frames and the growth of digital photography, carrying snapshots was bound to change. Brookstone is selling a product that shows just how that change could happen: a wallet with a digital picture display in it.
These wallets, which retail for US$50 for men or women, can store up to 55 pictures, transferred to the wallet via a USB connection to a PC. The screen is just 1.4 inches, but that’s probably not much smaller than most wallet-sized snapshots.
While these look a little kludgey, they are neat novelty items and make clear that we’re probably going to see more products like this in the future. Though it seems weird to consider buying an extended warranty for a wallet, this does go to show that the changes wrought by digital imaging aren’t just happening on our walls or in our cameras, they even extend to our pockets.

Alldigitalframes is having a Mother’s Day Special that looks pretty good to me!
If you purchase any Tao Digital Frame or Tao Digital Keychain by April 24, Tao will load up to five of your personal pictures on the frame prior to shipping. This is great, especially if your mother or grandmother lives far away, or if you can’t get over there right away to put pictures on the frame yourself.
Plus, if you order by April 24, Tao will guarantee delivery by Mother’s Day. (May 13th).
Just email Tao (support@alldigitalframes.com) up to five of your own pictures and Mom will open her sealed-up present to discover pictures of you and the grandkids already on there!
Even better, Aldigitalframes has now extended this offer through August, so you can do the same for Father’s Day, weddings, birthdays, etc, as you can do for Mother’s Day!
Click on over to their website to check out all the frame styles; this one is a beauty, but it’s only one of several styles and colors available.
Honestly, don’t you think that a digital picture frame or, better still, a wireless digital picture frame, would be the PERFECT GIFT for your mother, your grandmother, your sister, your aunt, your best friend’s mom. . . .
And then, in June, you can do the same for your dad, your grandfather, your uncle, your brother. . . .
