Ribbon Cuttings
Are you opening a new business, or have you relocated or remodeled? Let the Otsego-Plainwell Area Chamber of Commerce help you celebrate!
A ribbon cutting ceremony is an important part of your overall marketing and advertising plan and is a great way to celebrate those who have supported you, and get the attention of local media! The ceremony also gives the business owner or manager a chance to say a few words to those gathered.

What the Chamber will do:
- Schedules your event, advertises the date, and provides a Facebook Event for you to share with guests you invite to the special occasion.
- Brings the “BIG scissors” and ribbon and a framed certificate.
- We will invite our Chamber Board Members, City Officials, Chamber Members and local media.
- We will take photos to share in print and social media.
Suggestions for you: - We encourage you to conduct your own PR campaign to boost attendance.
- Consider inviting your business partners, financiers, contractors, employees, customers, friends, and family to be with you to celebrate this momentous occasion in your business’s history.
- Refreshments, drinks, door prizes, and decorations are optional and up to you. Many businesses add these extra touches when conducting a public grand opening in conjunction with the ribbon cutting.
- Decide who will cut the ribbon and who should be in the photo, and plan your remarks.
- Fill out our questionnaire, so we can write an article for the local Community Shopper Guide.
