PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE FILLING OUT THE APPLICATION. THANK YOU!
Ribbon cuttings are a great way to celebrate a milestone for your organization, whether it be for a grand opening, anniversary of operation, completion of a project, and more! Ribbon cuttings introduce and familiarize both Chamber and community members to your organization, and they also enable you commemorate this moment and thank those who help made this new step possible. BACC helps you promote your big news and we bring the big scissors and big ribbon, as well the golden shovel for groundbreaking ceremonies!
Make sure to select a date several weeks in advance so that the event can be properly marketed to the public and so people have plenty of notice to attend.
We require a minimum of 2 weeks advance notice. We recommend that you schedule your event Monday through Thursday between 10AM-4PM. Recently, businesses have enjoyed setting their ribbon cutting for 12PM to lure in the lunch crowd. These times often garner the best attendance and enable other Chamber members and Board members to attend.
The actual ribbon cutting ceremony is usually brief (about 15-20 minutes) and should be planned ahead of time. Typically, people will mingle, then a Chamber representative will gather the attendees, thank them and introduce the speaker(s) from the business, the business representatives will speak, and we will cut the ribbon.
We will follow up with you about scheduling after your submission.
