Orlando Creative Services
to Offer FrontRunner
Professional’s Ready-
to-Use Newspaper Ad
Library
CLEARWATER,FL— Orlando Creative Services (OCS)
has announced the addition of FrontRunner Profes-
sional’s ready-to-use ad library. The collection of ads
cover a variety of subjects promoting your local funeral
home in local publications. The ads can accommodate
your logo and contact information.
Until recently, the ad library has been exclusively ac-
cessible at no charge to subscribers of FrontRunner’s
software solutions. Nego-
tiations with OCS make
the collection available a la
cart at a reasonable price
to firms outside of Front-
Runner’s client base.
Paul Orlando, who has
been serving the industry
since 1983 and has made a
considerable contribution
to other ad libraries for
Adfinity, MKJ Market-
ing, and for other orga-
nizations, created the ads.
Although the concepts
are available in several siz-
es, black and white, col-
or, as well as posters and
Power-Point-compatible
formats through Front-
Runner, only the black
and white newspaper ads
will be ready-to-use from
OCS; other formats are
available, but will be con-
sidered custom work.
“I’m thrilled that Front-
Runner has formed an al-
liance with OCS to offer
this library. I feel it’s the
freshest and most com-
prehensive library of ads
available,” said Paul. “The
collection will never be
complete, and will be aug-
mented as issues change
for funeral professionals.”
Kevin Montroy, found-
er and president of Front-
Runner Professional add-
ed “FrontRunner has
always put the needs of
the funeral profession-
al first, and I’m glad even
more firms will be exposed
to the extensive products
and array of ways we can
serve them.”
Orlando and Montroy
have been associated with
each other since 2004,
and have worked togeth-
er creating and promoting
many projects.
