Here are the best reasons to attend a ribbon cutting:
Congratulate Your Neighbor: Come say congratulations to the new business owner in your neighborhood. Our ribbon cuttings are often for new small businesses that are just getting started. It means a lot for an established business person to stop in and share some positive energy.
Experience the "New": Be among the first to experience the newest attractions and additions to our community. Impress your friends when they ask "Have you been to_________ yet?" and you say "of course I have!" Or better yet, invite them along.
Build Your Network: Business is still done face to face. Most ribbon cuttings are intimate events which means more time to talk and get your name out there. When a new business owner needs a product or service, make sure it's you they think to call.
Feel Hopeful: A ribbon cutting is truly a feel good event. This is a celebration of a person realizing their dream, investing in our area, and hiring our friends and neighbors. It feels good to be there for this joyous occasion, the start of a journey. And it feels good to shop, when you come back to patronize their business.
Enjoy Refreshments & Other Perks: Ribbon cuttings are free to attend. Many include giveaways or product discounts. Sometimes the events feature food, entertainment or demonstrations.
See you there....
