Ribbon-Cutting Ceremonies
Celebrate your grand opening, a milestone anniversary, groundbreaking, or other special business occasions! The Manistee Area Chamber of Commerce will assist in setting up a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony (during normal business hours Monday - Friday).
The Chamber will provide the following services to Chamber Investors prior to the event:
- Create a Facebook event and add your business as a co-host
- Promote the event on Facebook
- Create a featured event on the Chamber website www.ManisteeChamber.com
Additionally, the Chamber will provide the ribbon, giant scissors, and invite Chamber ambassadors to the event. The business is responsible for coordinating staff to be in the pictures, specific guest invitations, press releases, and media contact.
