This is my first attempt at a press release, so your comments are greatly appreciated.

Business Administrative Services Gone Virtual

Salem, Oregon, April 24, 2009 – In today’s economy, businesses are looking for ways to reduce overhead and cut benefit costs. MG Virtual Office Solutions provides real solutions for small and mid-size businesses by offering quality administrative services in order for them to focus on growing their business.

Founded in 2008 by owner Margie Gibson, MG Virtual Office Solutions utilizes today’s technologies to provide innovative administrative support solutions to small and mid-sized businesses, not-for-profit organizations, faith-based groups and entrepreneurs globally. A fairly new profession but one that has seen exponential growth in the last few years, virtual assistants can handle everything from basic administrative functions to more specialized work. Many small business owners use temps when they need someone for additional workloads or to cover for an employee who is out of the office for an extended period of time. But temps are just that, temporary. They're here today and gone tomorrow. Most virtual assistants, on the other hand, work on a contractual basis to provide ongoing administrative support.

A virtual assistant is a highly skilled professional and an independent contractor who works remotely from their home office to provide a myriad of business support services virtually. With the use of email, fax, and internet-based technology, a virtual assistant is more than able to offer valuable support to businesses worldwide that can then focus on growing their own business, while outsourcing administrative tasks. With a virtual assistant there is no need to provide equipment, space, or supplies.

With over nineteen years of experience in every aspect of office administration, Gibson provides administrative support, transcription services, and event planning. MG Virtual Office Solutions “strives to partner with its clients in order to utilize the talents and strengths of all available resources so we can achieve together more than we could achieve alone,” states Gibson.

Nice job! Well-done. I would end with a reason for someone to call you rather than just say 'for more information'. I would suggest, 'for a free consultation to see how MG Virtual Office Solutions can improve your bottom line (or whatever you can do for the client) call Margie Gibson directly at XXXXXXX or email at XXX@xxxx.com

In press releases, I prefer lots of strong, hard-hitting quotes. If you can get a client quoted in a bit of a "testimony" saying something great about you -- It hink that's a huge tool! I wish you all the best
