Opening a New Business? Renovated Your Space? Moving to a New Location?
Celebrate with a Ribbon Cutting Hosted by the Oshkosh Chamber!
As a complimentary service, the Oshkosh Chamber offers Ribbon Cuttings and Groundbreakings for members who have opened a new business, relocated, or recently completed a remodel. These events provide excellent photo opportunities and allow business owners to share a few words with attendees about their business and its offerings.
Ribbon cuttings can be held between Monday-Thursday from 8:30 am – 4:00 pm and Fridays from 8:30 am – 11:00 am. We do not hold ribbon cuttings on the weekends.
Please provide at least 2 weeks’ notice to ensure your ribbon cutting is a successful celebration.
This service includes:
- Scissors
- Ribbon
- Promotion through the Chamber social media pages and email communications
- Inviting Ambassadors and chamber staff to attend
Tips for a successful Ribbon Cutting:
- Advertise on your social media platforms
- Provide hor d’oeuvres, and refreshments. Make it a fun opportunity to network!
- Offer a door prize drawing and collect business cards
- Have an announcement or speech to educate and welcome your guests
- Be creative and fun!
PLEASE NOTE: Members should not rely solely on the Chamber to attract your audience. The member is responsible for inviting customers, family, friends, and colleagues.
