South Windsor Chamber
Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Information
What is a Chamber Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting?
A ribbon cutting is the ceremonial opening of a brand-new, newly-renovated, or relocated business. The Chamber also considers ribbon cutting requests for renovation/expansion and anniversary celebrations. We provide these services absolutely free to Chamber members. The most common location to cut the ribbon is the main entrance of the building but it can also be stretched across another important location within the business, especially during inclement weather.
What are the Benefits of a Chamber Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting
A ribbon cutting marks a very significant moment in the business’s history, this is also a great photo opportunity. Each business chooses the group of people they want assembled for their photos. Furthermore, the ribbon cutting ceremony gives the business owner or manager a chance to say a few words to those gathered.
Here’s How It Works:
WHEN
Monday—Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. We schedule ribbon cuttings at least two weeks in advance and have a form we need you to complete . We recommend providing some type of refreshments and/or food for guests. Have fun with it!
WHO
The owners or top executives most frequently do the honors, but each business is different and can pick whomever they like to cut the ribbon and say a few words about the business. The state and town officials will also present their own official citations.
GUESTS
We will invite the Chamber Board of Directors, Chamber Membership, & State and Town Officials. We suggest that you also reach out to your customers, clients, and employees to attend the event.
