This first press release has really stressed me out! I've been working on it for two weeks now. I'm now down to what I think is a good start, but there is real substance lacking here. . .or so I think.

Any feedback would be great!


A New Way of Doing Business!

Virginia Beach, VA - September 17, 2008 - In the age of rising gas prices and the time when most companies are cutting costs to go “green,” many small businesses are searching for innovative ways to stay ahead in the shrinking economy. There is a new solution on the horizon, TLC Designs, whose tagline boasts, a “’virtual’ office solution.” Launched this month by owner, Tiffany L. Smith, the company offers a unique perspective to the traditional business formula.

The concept? “Virtual Assistance.” While the idea may be foreign to many, the “Virtual Assistance” industry is on the rise. The attraction for becoming a “virtual” service provider is obvious – working from home. On the other hand, because the industry is still new to many traditional business owners, understanding the “virtual” business structure can be a stretch; however, the benefits to “virtual” outsourcing are many.

The traditional business format usually includes the owner who manages the business, the administrative assistant who keeps the office organized, the bookkeeper who manages the finances, and the marketing staff who keep the business in business. Smith’s solution is simple – combine your administrative assistant, bookkeeper, and marketing staff into one point of service and thereby save on overhead costs. “Most small firms cannot afford to hire support staff,” Smith says. “My company can provide those administrative services that are critical to keeping a company afloat so that the business owner can concentrate on doing the business they are in business to do.”

TLC Designs touts its strong suit is its varied services offered. Smith’s background in human resources combined with more than 12 years in various capacities in public and private organizations has given her an edge in understanding the unique challenges faced by the small establishment. She explains, “I decided to open my company after volunteering with several non-profit organizations that had growth potential but were stagnated because of their lack of in-house administrative support.” Her company promises to help her clients take their business to the next level by creating a unique partnership that focuses on long-term business goals and strategies.

The client list at TLC Designs now includes a prominent law firm, a private investigations group, and an independent publishing company. Through the use of technology they have formed a unique business design that rivals the traditional standard. The result for them. . . a formula for success.


TLC Designs is a full service "Virtual" assistance firm. Specializing in administrative support for the small business owner, TLC Designs’ offerings include bookkeeping, website design, marketing services and event planning. The company is based in Virginia Beach, VA. For more information about the company, visit their website at www.TLCDesignsVA.com.
