The first step we take with a new advisor involves evaluating and (when necessary) modernizing their brand and online presence. Virtue's design team can create everything from HD quality videos and animation to logos, business cards, and billboard and banner ad graphics. We understand the level of competition in the financial services business. Virtue supports our advisors by providing them with technology and high-quality deliverables to ensure that they leave a solid impression through initial marketing with high impact, easy to understand work. Virtue can help you establish your presence on the web either through social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn or through website digital marketing and re-targeting or using search engine optimization.

Promote: Create Your Marketing Plan.
Virtue wants to help you enhance your practice by marketing you as the go to expert in your area. Virtue believes that events are the #1 way for financial Advisors to get their message to the most prospects, and we know that the most important part of making an event work is to invite qualified prospects. Using a combination of the logos and branding developed in our graphics department, exclusive partnerships with third party mail houses, and digital marketing we are able to deliver high quality invitations and financial information to the most qualified and interested potential prospects in your marketplace. Through a library of pre-built workshops and seminars that can be branded to each individual advisor,
Different markets call for different approaches. What works for an advisor or interests the client base in one market may not work in another. Once we have a successful plan of action in your market, we will build upon that through organizing continued marketing campaigns to attract new clients and client appreciation functions or Bring-A-Friend events to continue to develop the bond with your current client base. In many cases, an advisor’s growth reaches a point for new direction in the business. In order to remain educational and effective, Virtue's seminars are updated regularly to reflect any changes in legal or market factors, and we are adding content regularly as the industry is constantly evolving. Virtue annual events bring industry leaders together to discuss trends and important updates that will have an impact on the business in general and your personal practice. Virtue hosts regular training events at our home offices in Nashville, TN as well as specialized events around the country.
