There are a multitude of things to do and think about when starting up or expanding your business. One of the most exciting and memorable things to experience is your Company Ribbon-Cutting Event. It normally marks the official opening of the business and can also be a great marketing event, helping to get your business name out there and potential clients in the door.
With so many details to plan, we''ve put a list together to help you decide what elements to include at your event:
Invite potential clients from the surrounding community. Be sure to mention directions, parking, time, etc.
Often with a Chamber Membership, they will help you promote your event in various areas online and direct mail.
Give ample time for everyone to arrive and visit with others before ceremony.
Give your potential customers something to remember you by.
Make sure the background music is just that. Don't drown out conversation by playing too loud.
Introductions of Owner & Staff, Announcement of Goals/Vision, Cut Ribbon (use large statement-making scissors)
Make sure and document the event with photos. You'll want to look back on them later.
Possibly provide refreshments depending on time of event.
