WHAT TO EXPECT

Thinking about a Ribbon Cutting or Tying. Here are some questions you might have about it.

  • Host Responsibilities

    • Host is responsible for all costs incurred such as food, beverages, outside advertising, etc. Refreshments are not required but recommended. 
    • Door prizes are a great way to further promote your business and capture return business but are not a requirement. 
    • Be creative and most of all, have fun! This is your event and your opportunity to let the community know all about your business. 

  • Chamber Responsibilities

    • The Chamber will arrive before the actual ceremony and will provide scissors, ribbon, video recording, and photos. We will welcome the group, orchestrate the ribbon cutting, then have you as the host say a few words. 
    • The Chamber will notify our Board members and local dignitaries of your upcoming event.

  • Tips

    • We recommend the event occur late morning or afternoon Monday through Friday. Should you desire an evening or weekend, our staff is typically not available but can provide you with ribbon and scissors for the event. 
    • Attendance of chamber members varies, but typically is between 5-20. The true value is the free publicity received in the form of announcements at chamber events, video highlights on our YouTube channel, and social media posts. If someone did not attend, they’ll still know about your business. 
    • This is not an event for chamber members only, but everyone. We encourage hosts to invite customers, friends, family, colleagues and media.
