 For those of you who live in Wisconsin or the Eastern states, you're probably as sick of the snow as I am! I thought March would bring slightly warmer temps, but instead we're on the verge of getting blasted with show again. The good news? This bad weather has forced me to stay inside a lot this winter and given me the opportunity to be even more productive. I hope all of you have had that same opportunity, and it has shown in your business! As always, the team at IMPACT are contributing to the monthly newsletter, sharing the team members' expertise and tips, and we ope you enjoy the information! We aim to provide you the most relevant and informative newsletter on Social Media and business trends. Have a suggestion or feedback? It is always welcome, and we want to hear from you!

Shopping Habits & Social Media Trends
How They Relate & What That Means
It is a well known fact that to remain competitive, stores must utilize social media sites for marketing and promotions for consumers to purchase new, as well as  aged, products.
Do you find that you are making online purchases through your favorite social media sites? To clarify, what I am asking is when you view an ad on Facebook that displays a coupon for Bath & Body Works, Starbucks, or another favorite store; do you immediately click on that ad to get the coupon?
Or do you find yourself driving to the closest store to venture around and see if anything new captures your attention? Is it just as convenient to go to the store's website for a direct purchase?
Find out how your social media trends relate to your shopping habits, and what this may mean for retailers.

My Needs Expand Beyond My Business (Part III)
The Art of Delegation
Hopefully by this point, you've realized just how demanding your lifestyle has become and that your next intelligent step would be to hire a Virtual Assistant (VA) that best fits your business needs or busy lifestyle.
 In this three part series (see part 1 and part 2), we've learned how to create task lists of our most important (and not-so-important) duties or business related functions. These lists have been categorized into home/work/social, etc. and prioritized into those we can easily accomplish on our own and those which would be best to hand off to someone else.
Next, we learned methods to manage these task lists, from simple post-it notes all over your computer monitor, to more advanced syncing functions with your PDA. Some devices required extensive training of software applications, while others were as simple as sending personal reminder emails.
In this final segment, we'll discuss the delegation of your tasks to a Virtual Assistant who is the best fit for your demanding lifestyle.
Find out how to hire a VA that is productive, cost-efficient, and will allow you to flourish in your own business and personal successes!

How They Partner With Impact
Our industry is going through considerable change due to the advent of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). A critical part of our success is communicating those changes with our clients as regulations are released, and the pace is truly breathtaking. Impact is our engine behind those electronic communications. We have received many compliments on the speed and consistency of those messages and Impact is a big part of that success.
