The Best Product at Rootstech

This blog is written to share what I unofficially dubbed as the Best Product at the 2018 Rootstech conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. In case you missed my previous blog that summarizes the wonderful conference experience, you can read it here.

There were a lot of vendors in the Rootstech Expo Hall this year. There were software companies, photo digitizing and scanning companies, family history preservation companies, publishing companies, etc. In fact, there a lot of the same kinds of products or services being showcased. As one who seeks out the unusual, I was on the lookout for something a little different. After about 30-minutes walking the aisles of this massive room, I found something that caught my eye!

As a Professional Organizer and amateur photographer, the QIK-FRAME™ booth grabbed my attention. The booth was tastefully done and had a wonderful collage display of frames containing various photographs, graphics, and inspirational quotes. I stopped to speak with the person at the booth to learn more. As fate would have it, I was speaking with QIK-FRAME’s™ founder and designer of this amazing product, Jay Ward. Jay was happy to chat with me about his background as a graphic designer and QIK-FRAME™. After the event, I reached out to Jay and upon my request, he was kind enough to send me a frame so that I could write a full review. Read on to find out why I named QIK-FRAME™ the Best Product at Rootstech award.

(Note: This is strictly my opinion and is not a paid endorsement.)

Highlights

• QIK is not just a catchy name based on the word “quick,” which is how you change out the frame’s picture.
• QIK actually stands for Quality, Innovation, and Kindness. Hey, what’s not to love about that!
• The product is ideal for people like me, people who like change.
• The product is ideal for people who are looking for creative ways to decorate.
• The frame is made of quality materials and comes in black and white, which fits nicely with most decors.
• The quick-change functionality is simply brilliant (more on that later).
• You can use your own photographs and inspirations, too! How about using one for this year’s Vision Board?

Yay, it’s here!

The package arrived intact on my doorstep. We all know this is not always the case as packages often arrive so beat up, you fear the contents have been destroyed in transit. But I digress. This has nothing to do with QIK-FRAME™.

So, there it was, a box on my front stoop in perfect shape. The box was clearly labeled so I knew who it was from and I was eager to open it. What I found inside was that the frame had an outer wrap of heavy-duty bubble wrap. Upon removal of that layer, it was wrapped again in a cellophane material. At either end of the box were two pieces of styrofoam, which kept the frame from sliding and shifting in transit. Great job, QIK-FRAME™! The frame arrived in perfect condition!

The package contained the large black frame, two sets of gorgeous 11″ x 14″double-sided prints, and easy-to-read instructions (photo below).

Attached to the back of the frame is a plastic sheet with diamond cut tabs in it. The tabs are meant to be bent to hold prints or photographs firmly against the glass.

And how cool are these graphics?

I received four different images on just two sheets of high-quality paper! (Note: If these prints don’t suit you, QIK-FRAME™ has a large selection of other images and inspirational quotes from which you can choose.) Added bonus: You can use QIK-FRAME’s™ for your own images!
