Virtual Administrative Business Opens


Hamilton, OH - June 22, 2008- Two suggestions to stimulate income and fight recession overrun are: 1) Increase the utilization of Internet-based technology. 2) Outsource administrative responsibilities to Virtual Assistants (VAs). By using today's technology such as email, fax, FTP, text and instant messaging, anyone anywhere can assist you with your work. VA’s can help you with bookkeeping, editing your newsletter, paying bills, email management, invoicing, Internet research, bargain shopping, word processing, and appointment reminders. It’s like having your own personal secretary!

With a Virtual Assistant you never pay for taxes, benefits, lunch breaks, sick or holiday pay, technology, or non-productive hours because a VA works only if and when you require assistance. Ask Viki! Ltd. provides administrative support to client’s world-wide and organizing services to local businesses and organizations.

Viki Garrison started Ask Viki! in response to the friends, family and neigh-bors asking her to perform various administrative tasks for them and when Ford Motor Company offered educational buy-outs. Mrs. Garrison jumped at the chance to further her education, assist the local business community and to have the freedom to work for herself.

Mrs. Garrison’s years of organizational and administrative skills are put to the test while attending college full-time, raising two young nephews, and maintaining a home while her husband is on the road. As of April, 2008, Garrison is on the Dean’s List at Sinclair Community College.

Sometimes all a business owner needs to grow and become successful is to be organized. Statistics reveal the average executive spends 150 hours a year searching for lost documents and a moderately disorganized person loses about two hours every day due to disorder. Delegate those mundane office tasks to Ask Viki! and get back to the work you love!

Ask Viki! Ltd. looks forward to providing you with professional, timely and accurate services and building a successful partnership with you.

Viki -
The plural of a noun does not require an apostophe. Check your VA's (should be VAs) and client's (should be clients).
Also, no hyphen in neighbors.
Otherwise, it's interesting, brisk, informative, with a wonderful flow. Good work!
Should it be 'Garrison' or 'Viki' rather than 'Mrs. Garrison'? I'd suggest the former.

Thank you!

I've made the changes you suggested, on my original 'neighbors' is hyphenated and when I copied it here, I didn't proof it like I should...duh me!

Should I use clients' like Word suggests?

Viki, I think you mean clients as a plural, not as a possessive. You provide administrative support to clients, and the 'world-wide' just qualifies 'clients.'
