Virtual Assistants Continue Gaining Worldwide Media Attention, Praise & Acclaim:

"The conventional image of a secretary is well ingrained: a person who sits behind a desk outside of the executive suite, answering phones, typing, filing and keeping the boss on schedule. But if that image is prevalent, it's also well behind the times. In the case of Virtual Assistants, in short the secretary has entered the Internet Age." -MSNBC

"VAs work from their own offices, use their own equipment and provide support services to businesses, entrepreneurs and busy people. They can do everything from handling your bookkeeping to event planning. All of this occurs via e-mail, fax, telephone and overnight mail. VAs are terrific and energetic professionals who are ready to relieve entrepreneurs inundated with tasks that can drain productive time." -USA Today

"Clients enjoy the freedom from the headaches and costs that go along with being a boss. A solo entrepreneur can retain privacy and dispense with payroll taxes, workers’ comp, insurance, and other benefits. VAs don’t take up space or require onsite desks, computers, phones, copiers, or separate bathrooms, and they’re paid only for the time they work... I just give her a list of things I need done, and they get done!” -ABC News

The Power Of The Press Release
Report your newsworthy happenings to the regional media. Note special events like new products or services, open houses or tours, charitable acts, new branches, departments, sales reps, distributors or agents. Press Releases provide your business with free advertising space and coverage by a news source grants more credibility than just running an advertisement.

Direct Mail Marketing Strategies
Studies have found that repeat mailings generate more responses than one-time disbursements. Many recipients meant to respond to your promotion, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. After your initial mailing is sent, a follow-up will jog the minds of the recipients, prompting them to make a move.

The Main Event
Gather an audience of potential clients, businesspeople and local press by hosting a special event. Planning a sales event can be great, but consider charity and community service for even greater rewards. Pick a cause that's truly important to you and get the whole community in on the action.
