MAGAZINE ADS For over twenty years, Fred M. Dole Productions has been designing colorful and eye-catching advertisements for use in magazines, websites, brochures and catalogs. As a full service ad agency, we are able to provide both design and photography services. We can also keep track of ad deadlines for our clients and take care of submission of ads to magazines. Although Fred M. Dole Productions provides services for any product or market, our specialty field for many years has been the model railroad industry and we regularly supply ads to Kalmbach Publishing Co., Carstens Publications, OGR Publishing, Inc. and other major model train publications. Our rates are very reasonable compared to those charged by many of the magazines or by other ad agencies. Contact us for a free quotation!  Here are a few samples of ads we have photographed and designed: Our design philosophy is that ads, whether in color or b&w, do not need to be complicated or overly glitzy. Simplicity equals readability. Readability equals good responses. All of these ads were designed to stand out in the magazines regardless of where they were placed among other ads. NO company whose ad we have designed has ever complained about getting insufficient response to the ad to justify the cost. And, speaking of cost, you'll be surprised at how much "bang for the buck" you will receive from having Fred M. Dole Productions photograph your products and design your ads. Our prices are fair and, frankly, very affordable. We invite you to contact us so we can talk about meeting your advertising expectations and needs.

LOGOS Customers remember a company by its logo. A bright, catchy logo can become your trademark and the centerpiece of your advertising and publicity materials. We have designed many logos for community organizations and businesses and we'd be happy to create a logo for you. Here are some samples of logos we've designed: We created the Fred M. Dole Productions Logo back in the early 1960s when we were shooting 35mm slides. Even though we're now completely digital, this logo still has meaning and identifies our primary business of color photography.   Rockville General Hospital, CT Logo and Pin   Curtis Hi-Rail makes track products for model railroads. It is fitting that their Logo was designed around a cross section of a piece of real railroad track.  These are 3 Logos I designed for a Childrens' Home and a Day care Center in Naples, Italy. The "I Become that Child" logo symbolized the adult putting himself in the place of the child and seeking to help the child out of whatever situation he was in. The Day Care Logo, in addition to stationary use, etc. was blown up to 4'x6' for an out door sign.   New Beginnings is a school for young people with special needs.   The Colchester CT Sports Arena Logos were designed for multiple uses from large signs to T-shirts.   LET US DESIGN A LOGO FOR YOU!

 

If your advertising needs are for other than magazine ads, Fred M. Dole Productions can help you produce colorful two, three or four-fold brochures, rack cards, post cards, catalog sheets and even complete catalogs. We work with one of the best color printers in the USA whose prices are very reasonable.   POST CARDS and OTHER ITEMS Post card products are excellent ways to promote your business or event. In our digital world, prices have dropped dramatically and even with our modest design fee added in , 500 4"x 6" postcards cost less than $125!! xShown here is a post card we recently completed for a local church auction and a 4"x 9" rack card used in tourist bureau locations. We also can create many other items for your business. Shown are posters (two of 20) we designed for a fund raising campaign, and two items we photographed and created for a golf course (who also made all their outdoor signs using the thistle photo).     BROCHURES AND CATALOGS Shown below is a three-fold campground brochure; the old brochure is at the left and the new brochure we photogaphed and designed for them is at the right.
