Business Celebration Ribbon Cuttings
The Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce would be
delighted to help your business celebrate a milestone
with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony such as:
- Opening in the last 12
months
- Change of ownership or
new management
- Change of location
- Remodel or expansion
- Anniversary celebration
- New staff or new
technology showcase
|
A Business Celebration Ribbon Cutting is a great way to
kick-off the grand opening of a business. It is the
perfect opportunity to meet key leaders in the community
and get acquainted with your neighbors and fellow
Chamber members. The Monterey Peninsula Chamber would
enjoy assisting you in planning a successful event for
your business and in gaining exposure for your business.
The Monterey Peninsula Chamber conducts the ceremony,
complete with ceremonial scissors, ribbon, photos, and a
plaque commemorating the opening. The Board of
Directors, President/CEO, Ambassadors, Staff and often
public officials are all part of the ceremony. The
plaque presentation and the cutting of the ribbon both
provide for excellent photo opportunities. Photos will
be taken and run in our following Monterey County Herald
“ChamberLink” page.
Scheduling a Business Celebration Ribbon Cutting with
the Chamber should take place a minimum of six weeks
ahead of the event, to allow the Chamber time to invite
members, Board of Directors, Ambassadors, and
dignitaries from the City to join your celebration. MPCC
publicizes your celebration in Chamberlink, eLink
electronic newsletter, monthly event card, and through a
press release. The cost for this service is only $150
for significant exposure.
Contact Georgette Cash, Programs and Events
Director, at 831.648.5356 and schedule your
Business Celebration!
