Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from all of us at Rivanna! 2009 was an eventful year for our company – we launched a new website, introduced new products, and added a few new members to our team. Hopefully these changes have enhanced our ability to do what matters most – provide top-notch customer service and quality designs that embody our environmental commitment. Now that the winter holidays are behind us (even if the weather still lingers), we want to keep you abreast of what’s on tap for us as we forge ahead into 2010.
Our bamboo plaques are an excellent option for recognizing achievement within your organization, and we’ve offered another incentive to choose these plaques made from renewable material – we’ve lowered the price!  We hope this will allow you to meet your budget objectives in these tough economic times without sacrificing thoughtful and responsible celebration of achievement. And remember – as always, the newly lowered prices include all engraving and set up fees.
With spring just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about Earth Day 2010. While the celebration is still a few months off, preparations have already begun for events across the globe. On April 22, 2010, Earth Day celebrates its 40th anniversary, and activists are hoping to make this the most influential, significant observance yet. Our planet is at more risk now than ever, and Earth Day events present a vehicle for unprecedented awareness and change. To learn about worldwide initiatives, plus events in your area, check out www.earthday.net. Rivanna is honored to help a large number of organizations commemorate efforts to preserve and protect the planet through Earth Day and Earth Week initiatives. Our eco-friendly designs provide an ideal way to celebrate the spirit of the day and individual or organization-wide achievement. Contact us to find out more.
Finally, we have some new ideas up our sleeve! While we are still in the final planning stages, we are preparing to introduce several new contemporary product designs that incorporate unique eco-friendly materials in innovative ways. We also plan to update a few of our current products to make them easier to produce and further lessen their environmental impact. Stay tuned for more information in the coming months!
At Rivanna, we have high hopes for 2010. We hope you’ll join us in welcoming a new year, filled with opportunities to make a difference – globally, locally, and personally.

We’re moving! Plus, chat with us in real time!

We at Rivanna are always looking for ways to make things as easy as possible for our clients. We’re implementing a few changes to our website that will hopefully improve your experience and make things as quick and seamless as possible.

First, the Rivanna Review has a new home! To give us more freedom and ease in posting and sharing on our blog, we’re moving it to our own domain (rivannadesigns.com). Everything else remains the same – it just now lives at the easy-to-remember http://www.rivannadesigns.com/blog. Please take care to update your bookmarks or RSS/blog feeds to be sure you stay up to date!

Secondly, starting today, we’ve added a new feature to our website that will make every step of the ordering process easier  – live chat! From our contact us page, you can access it by clicking on the “Live Chat” graphic. If someone is available to chat, you’ll be asked to provide your name and question and will be directed to the appropriate department. If no one is online to chat at the moment, you have the option of leaving a message for someone to answer as soon as possible (usually the next business day). With this new feature, you can get your questions answered instantly by a Rivanna representative – no need to wait for an email! If you have questions about our products or services, or just don’t know where to begin, we’re happy to help. Try it out today and please let us know what you think.

We hope these changes make your experience on our site a little better (and more fun!) and we welcome your feedback.
