You heard it here first. Last November ZNF predicted, “Digital photo frames will probably hit their stride in the 2006 holiday season.”
Now, Parks Associates has confirmed it: “approximately 1.7 million digital photo frames were sold in the US in 2006.” That’s a 400% growth rate over sales in 2005. Parks had originally predicted growth of only 42%. Good thing ZNF’s instincts were right. ;)
That’s all you, Mari… I wouldn’t have predicted it! In fact (other than you) I don’t know anyone with a digital picture frame. I did buy my mom a Ceiva several years ago, but that thing is long gone.
My partner and I bought four of them for our family members last year. We preloaded them with family pictures for our parents and they were a big hit.
The prices are tumbling making these this year’s must have Xmas gift I think. Just got one for my mother-in-law, will load it up with pictures of the kids prior to Xmas. Sure she’ll like it.
