Ribbon Cutting
As a member of the Midstate Chamber of Commerce, you’ll gain access to free ribbon cuttings. This is a great way to gain press and notoriety in the local com- munity. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the anniversary of your business, or launch your new business. This program includes: • Your event is included on the Chamber’s web calendar (40,000 unique visits per month) • Your event is also included in our printed newsletter, as long as it’s planned prior to the 15th of the month preceding the event. • Your event is included in E-Minders leading up to the big day. • We invite the mayor and other important individuals from the town. • We provide you with a ribbon for your event. • We provide photos of your event, though do recommend that if you want specific shots you may want to hire your own photographer.
While we help organize your event, there are some portions that you are responsible for doing:
• Providing food, beverage or entertainment to ensure your event is a success • Inviting your contacts, including vendors, clients, and guests • Promoting through your own channels, such as your personal social media, email, and other means. • Optionally doing a gift or prize drawing • Potentially having a photographer on hand that you know will take great photos of you and your business.
