<p>Niven&#8217;s first TYDTWD was a successful event! A special thanks to our furry friends that made our day extra enjoyable.</p>
<p>First celebrated in 1999, Pet Sitters International’s Take Your Dog To Work Day® was created to celebrate the great companions dogs make and to encourage their adoption from humane societies, animal shelters and breed rescue clubs. This annual event asks pet lovers to celebrate the human-canine bond and promote pet adoption by encouraging their employers to support TYDTWDay by opening their workplace to employees’ four-legged friends on this one special day. For more information please visit <a href="http://www.takeyourdog.com/"><strong>Take Your Dog to Work Day</strong></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week, a client commented, “Don, this was our first project with you, and Niven exceeded all of my expectations&#8230;in fact, you blew me away!” After a big product launch into 6,000 stores, it’s pleasing to hear such heartfelt recognition for a job well done thanks to collaboration and being relationship-centric. This praise echoed many of our recent reviews by other clients who talked about who we are and the role that we play within their companies. </p>
<p>The common thread from our clients is, “At the beginning, we didn’t really have an understanding or expectation beyond the basics. Since we had the opportunity to work together through a project, we have now experienced and appreciate your expertise in handling complex, tough jobs, and we know you have our back covered.”</p>
<p>Today’s retail success requires more than just displays, merchandisers, and “racks to hold products.” It’s inspired creative that’s practical, combined with tactical execution to get things done right at the store level. In this light, Niven is a shopper marketing company of the times &#8211; a company providing relevant, holistic, turn-key services from A-Z. Our ability to integrate with multi-level marketing mediums, proactively coordinate, guide, and implement at the store is relevant and a “refreshingly different experience”…as others went on to comment.</p>
<p>Moving forward, the best shopper marketing companies will recognize their role in sharing and educating with unprecedented performance levels. Given the market’s frenetic pace and competition, our attention to those thousands of details and moving parts separates authenticity from mediocrity. So it’s good to hear positive comments along those lines from customers defining us. It’s testimony to the energy and efforts you bring every day to what we do.</p>
<p>“Blowing away clients with quality of performance” can only happen with deep levels of thoughtfulness at every phase of every project. We live in the land-of-plenty to our clients. They have lots of choices, and many of them are good ones. We want to be their shopper marketing agency of choice because of what we do every day, with every action, and every point of contact. Clients notice and that makes us better.</p>
