Tips for a Successful Ribbon Cutting
The More the Merrier
While the Chamber invites Chamber Ambassadors, City officials and Chamber Staff, we encourage businesses to invite clients, vendors, neighboring businesses, family and friends to ribbon cuttings. This is not only to have a large gathering for photo opportunities; it enables the business to showcase its assets to more people in the community.
Celebrate and Decorate
Celebrate this great event by having festive décor—balloons and company signage not only draw attention to your business, it brings a celebratory spirit to the ceremony and makes it easier for attendees to locate your business.
Chips, Dip and Everything in Between
We encourage member businesses to have refreshments, snacks, cake, etc., for attending guests. This also adds to the flair of the event!
Open Up
Give guests a brief tour of your company and explain its function. You may never know what this can do for making business contacts in the future!
