Hanging Out Her Virtual Shingle

HAGERSTOWN, MD – Ruth Martin is hanging out her “virtual” shingle to announce her virtual services as Maplewood Virtual Assistance. Maplewood Virtual Assistance is a full service administrative office support business with specialties in marketing support and sales support. Virtual assistants (or VAs) work off-site, use their own equipment and software and provide highly skilled professional services to home-, web- or storefront-based businesses, executives, and individuals. Virtual assistants utilize technology such as the internet, email, phones, and faxing to connect with clients and perform tasks without ever stepping into a client’s office. These cost saving services can be provided to any geographic location or time zone with only a click of the mouse, a tap of the fax button, or a quick phone call. The main advantage to using a virtual assistant, like Maplewood Virtual Assistance, is that you only pay for the actual time spent working. VAs, much like their clients, are independent business owners who pay their own employee taxes, benefits and cover all office overhead expenses themselves.

Martin explained, “For nearly seven years I’ve worked virtually doing data entry subcontract work though never really labeled myself as a virtual assistant.” Martin now proudly claims the title of “Virtual Assistant” and looks forwarding to assisting area businesses lighten their workload — “enabling businesses to work smarter, not harder” as the business motto goes. Martin brings over 18 years of administrative office experience, over 16 years of marketing experience, and over 20 years of retail sales experience including store management to clients needing reliable quality services.
