Ribbon Cuttings

Let us help you celebrate!

Are you opening a new business, expanding at your current location, or moving to a new location? Let the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce help you celebrate!

A Ribbon Cutting ceremony is an important part of your overall marketing and advertising plan and is a great way to kick off a grand opening or relocation of a business.

We will help you with your event by:

  • Notifying the Chamber's Board of Directors and Ambassadors Club members, encouraging them to attend your event.
  • Providing a media list for you to send a press release to the local media.
  • Bringing the "giant scissors" and ribbon.
  • Taking pictures at the event and publishing them in our newsletter, The Chamber News.
There are lots of great websites that provide tips on planning and executing a great event. Google "ribbon cutting ceremonies" for the top sites.

Note: The Chamber cannot guarantee the number of guests in attendance.

"Thanks so much for your help with our Grand Opening – having the Chamber there for [our] other club openings brought us good luck, so hopefully this trend will continue. Our membership with the Chamber has been valuable as a marketing avenue and also as a resource for our staff development. We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with the Chamber and further utilizing all the great resources it has to offer."
