Businesses: Digital Picture Frames Are Excellent For Public Relations and For Advertising!

This is my cat, Charley Gordon. He isn’t a happy camper, because he’s inside his carrier, and his carrier is sitting on the table at the veterinarian’s office.

Why am I telling you about my cat?

I’m not, not really. I’m telling you about the veterinarian. Specifically, what our veterinarian has on the counter of his office.

See that? No, not the stuffed doggie. No, not the computer. No, not the ads for dog food.

Our veterinarian has a digital picture frame in his office.

He told us that it’s one of the best “investments” he’s ever made, for his office. He told us that people can’t take their eyes off it, and that he puts pictures of the dogs and cats that come through his clinic on it, and that he puts pictures of symptoms and rashes and gum diseases and mange on it, so people can see what they look like on a real dog or cat. He didn’t get the kind of frame that has an Mp3 player but his receptionist told me that they wish he had.

Dr. Waldo, at the Animal Care Clinic in Bedford, Indiana, knew a good thing when he saw it, and he went for it.

He said that he saw it at Sam’s Club, bought it on a whim, and has been glad ever since.

I think it’s just a matter of time before salesmen start making their rounds with flash drives full of pictures to load onto their customers’ digital frames. Even handier would be a customer with a wireless digital picture frame, to load up and update from a distance.

Businesses, you think about that possibility now. You think about it really hard.
