CUMBERLANDUNES LAUNCHES CUTTING-EDGE ONLINE SMALL BUSINESS CONSULTING AND VIRTUAL ASSISTANCE PRACTICE: Small Businesses Now Have the Answer for Sustainable Growth Without Overhead

Business planning, marketing, public relations, and start-up consultation for small and home-based businesses is now available online through CumberlanDunes Consulting Services, a small business consulting and virtual assistance practice headquartered in Kentucky.

CumberlanDunes Consulting Services has announced the launch of its on-line small business consulting practice. CumberlanDunes.com offers business, marketing, and virtual assistant (VA) services as a growth partner to local, regional and national small businesses.

The virtual age has prompted the evolution of the professional VA, offering the caliber of support assistance and the vast skills and expertise that corporate America has long enjoyed, now made available and financially feasible for small businesses.

The current economy is volatile and will continue to change. The impact of these changes can either promote or compromise a small businesses ability to survive and compete. It is the mission and commitment of CumberlanDunes to help small business clients accomplish more business with less effort and to insure their longevity in the marketplace. Our services can decrease a companys costs for administrative assistance, marketing, public relations and special projects by hundreds or thousands of dollars a year," said Angela Allen, owner of CumberlanDunes Consulting Services.

A professional VA, utilizing the Internet, E-mail, Fax and phone along with other mainstay communication tools, enables clients to meet their time-consuming day-to-day, seasonal and special project needs without hiring temporary or full-time staff. Clients receive the best of all possible worlds -- enjoying the professional experience, company loyalty and growth partnership of a full-time professional -- without the overhead.

A professional VA is of tremendous value to entrepreneurs, independent sales professionals and the new breed of 'wired small business owners. All services are available without the need for more office equipment or space and without the hassles associated with hiring employees -- including taxes and benefits. Virtual Assistants offer expert services on an as-needed basis, billing only for time-on-task. A client can confidently delegate necessary and time-consuming tasks to a qualified, efficient VA consultant. As a result, the client is free to concentrate their efforts on what matters most -- growing their business. Since Virtual Assistants themselves are also small-business owners, they have a direct interest in making sure their clients are happy and VAs better understand the small-business arena than do employees, temps or part-time consultants.

Allen explains, Cumberlandunes helps small businesses run seamlessly and gain a viable web presence. Many small business owners and entrepreneurs feel that the World Wide Web is a 'field of dreams and that all they must do is build a web site and the customers and clients will 'appear. Unfortunately, its not quite that easy, but we make it easier. Our services help SOHOs focus their goals, organize their businesses, access customized marketing strategies and develop a viable Web site that is easy to navigate, efficiently spidered by search engines and properly marketed. We develop dynamic content and assure that their marketing and customer service efforts are well organized and complementary for excellent results in their branding efforts."
