Office Alternatives Celebrates 7th Anniversary With Open House, 3/9

Office Alternatives celebrates its 7^th anniversary this March by inviting everyone to a birthday party open house, complete with cake and a multi-media display of the history of the business. On Friday, March 9, 2012 at 5 pm, join Office Alternatives' staff, members and friends in commemorating this occasion. Traditionally celebrated by a gift of copper, the 7^thanniversary celebration is especially noteworthy because Office Alternative's colors are copper and green.

"Seven years ago we opened the doors to the first place in New Mexico where businesses of all kinds could share services, meet customers and do their work in a beautiful environment," says Deb Austin, owner of Office Alternatives. "Now seven years later, not only are we still doing that, we've expanded our space and service offerings and are on the cutting edge of the virtual work environment. Office Alternatives was the first in New Mexico - but our approach has not only taken hold, it is growing and evolving around the world with amazing speed."

Located in the Journal Center area of Albuquerque with plenty of free parking, Office Alternatives growth has meant many new companies accessing the offices and training rooms by the hour, day and month. Original artwork, fresh flowers and designer decor, state-of-the-art technologies, free WiFi, professional receptionists to greet your clients, answer your phone, receive packages and handle your messages, all come with no minimum agreements. In fact, some Office Alternatives members are celebrating their 7^th anniversary with the virtual office provider, too. Here are two:

"As a franchise owner and certified Financial Planner, I needed a professional office space where I could meet clients. I also wanted to concentrate on my business and not on 'bricks and mortar' management. Deb Austin and Office Alternatives provide this…and more," says Pat Bender, CFP^®, CLU, CRPC, Personal Financial Advisor.                                                      

"Office Alternatives made it possible for me to have a full time, very professional receptionist for a small fraction of what it would cost me to employ someone. The phone coverage is uninterrupted, and my clients think I have a superstar answering my telephones," Penni Adrian, Adrian & Associates PC.

Office Alternatives initial members tended to be mature professionals already established in their careers that were ready to shed the trappings of a large office environment. They still required basic administrative support like telephone reception, mail and a space to meet with clients. Today, Office Alternatives serves the gamut – young, start up companies and tech-savvy entrepreneurs to mid-size and larger companies. The Common thread? All need, whether occasionally or regularly, telephone and reception service, internet access and a professional environment in which to meet face to face with customers and conduct training.
