| | Is A Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Right For Your Business?
A Ribbon Cutting may be a great promotional opportunity for your business if you fall into any of the following categories: - Move to a New Location
- New Business
- Change of Ownership
- Major Anniversary (10th, 20th, etc)
Tips for Success: - Secure a date early with Chamber staff (8-12 weeks in advance)
- Invite your customers, friends and family. Attendance at your event is dependent on how many people you invite, and how much promotion you decide to do.
- How "big" you want your ceremony to be is up to you. We've seen businesses pull out all the stops and do catered affairs with hundreds on their invite lists. We've also seen businesses keep it simple. It's all up to you!
