About

Corporate Profile

Karri Flatla launched and incorporated snap! virtual assistance inc. in 2005, a small VA firm providing editing services and website maintenance to small businesses. In October 2006, the company became snap! virtual associates inc. to reflect the fact that it had evolved from virtual assistance to web marketing consulting and copywriting in a multi-VA/multi-consultant environment.

Mission: To help small businesses online create high impact, branded messages through copywriting and search marketing.

Principal: Karri Flatla

Location: Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada (windiest place on the face of the Earth but generally a nice place to live otherwise).

Organizational Structure and Approach

Business format: All of snap’s virtual assistants (VAs) and marketing consultants work as independent subcontractors of the corporation. This not only reduces overhead and in turn client costs, but it promotes flexible thinking and quality deliverables.

Project management: For most projects, snap! uses BaseCamp online collaboration software.
BaseCamp is where you will correspond with our associates about the marketing activities you have contracted us to carry out. Types of information you might find at “Base:”

  • Project deadlines and associated milestones.
  • State of the union updates.
  • Requests for documentation, images or other files.
  • Files uploaded by our associates for your reference.
  • General question and answer dialog as it pertains to your project.

We encourage our clients to use BaseCamp frequently, especially to ask questions about their project and provide the input necessary to create the best possible outcomes.

What it’s Like to Work With Really Great Web Marketers (that would be us):

  • Timely responses to your questions and input.
  • A collaborative approach to problem solving and idea generation.
  • Consideration of project impacts beyond life of the project.
  • Respect for the constraints and contexts unique to your business.
  • A “heads-up” communication, style ensures you stay in the know.

The Makings of a Really Great Marketing Client (in our opinion):

You are engaged. You are committed to the process. You are patient and willing to see it through. You are darned excited about your business!
