Who is Adminiprise?
Adminiprise is an administrative consulting firm based in Columbus, OH, made of myself as owner and consultant, as well as a team of professionals who provide myself and our clients with technical and office support. We’re an independent company (not a temp agency or a franchise) that serves as an outsourcing option for business owners needing administrative support.
What services do you provide?
We have two focus areas for the services we provide. For business owners, we provide executive administration and project assistance, with services ranging from word processing and publication design to marketing assistance and client relationship management. For aspiring entrepreneurs, we provide hands-on consulting to help them establish a sound business concept and move that concept toward reality. We help them with business plans, small business branding, marketing and more.
Why did you decide to start a business?
Aside from the fact that I’ve always enjoyed administration, I started Adminiprise because there are too many small businesses out there who, sad to say, just don’t look good. They use clip art for logos, have inconsistent forms and materials, use home phone numbers for business, and don’t project a very professional image, many of them because they don’t feel they can afford to incorporate other methods. I wanted to use my skill set to help individuals project a strong, professional image regardless of their business mission or budget and to help them operate efficiently. I also wanted to create a career for myself that didn’t have limits and that would not force me to choose between work and family.
How did you get started?
I started out by completing random projects for friends and members of my church – business cards, flyers, forms…I even designed and burned discs for a CD release. I continued to do odd jobs while working full time and going to school. I didn’t initially plan to turn administration into a full time career, but after much prayer and discussion with my husband, Adminiprise was the result. I continued to work an outside job until I had enough income to let it go.
What would you have done differently in the beginning?
I should have networked more. Finding the time to network has been challenging, not to mention the fact that I’m a bit shy. But networking is the true foundation to growing any business – not just in sales, but in partners as well. If I had networked more, I believe I would have found reliable professionals with the expertise that I lack (like yourself as a web designer) much sooner.
What advice would you offer to someone just getting started?
Do what you love, love what you do, and don’t think you have to do it alone.
New Premade Website Template Service
I am pleased to announce that soon I will be offering a new service – Premade Web Designs! For a while now, I’ve wanted to branch out and be more creative in my designs (and maybe even use a little pink!). My premade website templates will be ready to install on any of the shopping cart hosts listed on this page, but they can also be easily adapted to work with Wordpress, CMS Made Simple, or any other system.
I am also working on a brand new website that will be devoted to the premade website templates. I hope to show you soon! I am having lots of fun creating a new design that is a little different in style (even if a little girly).
For now, here’s a sneak peek into the very first template I will release. It will be a Limited Design template which means it will only be sold a maximum of eight times before it is retired. This is a great way to have a semi-custom design for a not-so-custom price.
If you are interested in purchasing this template now rather than waiting for my new website to launch where it will be featured, please contact me.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about this new service and about my first premade website template, so give me a shout!
