Ribbon Cuttings & Groundbreakings

Congratulations on your new business!  The Greenville-Pitt County Chamber of Commerce is proud to support your upcoming event.  The following information will help you plan your company's ribbon cutting and/or ground breaking ceremony.  Please note: these services are available to Chamber member only.

Information

Ribbon cuttings and groundbreakings are included at the Builder Level membership and levels above. There is a one-time $200 fee for Partner Level members. Ribbon cuttings and groundbreakings are for businesses that have opened in the last six (6) months, remodeled, moved locations, or are breaking ground on a new business.

Chamber's Role

Prior to your celebration, the Chamber will market your event in the following ways:

  • Invitations to Chamber Ambassadors, Chamber Board of Directors and elected officials.
  • Post your event on the website's event calendar.
  • Promote it in the two biweekly Chamber newsletters leading up to your event.
  • Create a Facebook event two weeks prior and post a reminder the day before.

The Greater Greenville Chamber will provide large ceremonial scissors, ribbon, stanchions, and a microphone. Chamber staff will also take and publish photos after the event.

Planning

This is your event, so we encourage you to make it your own. If you need guidance, the following information describes the usual flow.

Date Selection

  • Ribbon cuttings are hosted on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at either 11 a.m. or 4 p.m. on a day that does not already have an event scheduled.
