What is a Chamber ribbon cutting?
A ribbon cutting is the ceremonial opening of a new or newly-renovated/relocated business. It can launch a business’s first day of business or it can take place after the business’s opening. Yes, you actually cut a ribbon! Each business decides where they would like to cut their ribbon. The most common location is across the main entrance of the building but it can also be at another important location within the business, especially during inclement weather. Because a ribbon cutting marks a very important moment in the business’s history, it is also a great photo opportunity. Each business chooses the group of people they want assembled for their photo. Furthermore, the ribbon cutting ceremony gives the business owner or manager a chance to say a few words to those who attend. In the past, business owners have used the time to publicly thank those who have helped to make their business aspirations a success. They also take the opportunity to talk about their business’ products and services. You must be a new or current Chamber member in good standing for the Walker County Chamber to support and help coordinate your ribbon cutting.
