Default A Creative Way for Businesses to Survive during tough economic times
Ok, this is my first attempt at writing a press release....All guidance is seeked and appreciated.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


A Creative Way for Businesses to Survive during tough economic times

Memphis, TN (July 22, 2009)-The economy today has caused business owners to reevaluate their spending and their overhead costs. These overhead costs, includes but not limited to, staffing. There has been an increase in job layoffs and downsizing that have affected businesses across the country; however, the work still must be completed. Small businesses are opting to lay off their administrative staff even though they understand the importance of this position. Businesses seeking to survive the recession must get creative in completing necessary job tasks that are critical to their survival and finances.

Non-revenue producing activities are very much critical to the success of any business; nonetheless, busy executives don’t have enough time in a work day to complete those tasks along with focusing on revenue producing activities. To stay competitive and focused in these tough economic times, savvy business owners are retaining the services of virtual assistants to handle their administrative and marketing tasks.

Virtual Assistants (VA) are skilled independent professional contractors who provides various administrative support services by maximizing modern technology such as the internet, email, phone, fax, and online conferences to complete assignments for clients. Pamela King of CMB Virtual Assistants states that “A VA provides relief for the busy executive by providing the experience and skills needed to complete a variety of administrative and marketing tasks that will relieve the business owner to focus on revenue producing tasks.” With over 20 years of administrative, event planning, and project management experience, CMB Virtual Assistants provides administrative support, author’s assistance, and social media marketing for businesses.

Collaborating with a VA allows the business owner to do what they do best-grow their business without incurring the cost of hiring a full-time employee. There are many creative ways a VA can assist the busy executive to survive these tough economic times without breaking the bank.

Pamela -

You've included and ordered all the necessary information very well.

I have two suggestions:
- Have someone edit it. The writing needs improvement.
- Make it different from the press releases put out by every other VA: include a client testimonial, a quote from an authority or colleague, some company news ...
