What is a  Ribbon Cutting?
 
By definition, a ribbon cutting is a public ceremony conducted to inaugurate the opening to the general public of a new building or business, or the joining of the chamber.
 
One the benefits of joining the Chamber of Commerce is to publicize and market your business in every way possible.  Hosting a ribbon cutting is one of the ways of accomplishing this.
 
A ribbon cutting is a perfect way to advertise your business in several medias. Example: our newsletter, the calendar and mentioned at our networking events like Business Exchange Breakfast, Branding Iron Breakfast, Business After Hours and at the Monthly Luncheon.
 
We will be happy to answer any questions you may have and to schedule your ribbon cutting! Please call or email Greg Cashman at 972-264-1558 or by email at Greg@GrandPrairieChamber.org.
