Ribbon Cuttings

The Defiance Area Chamber of Commerce conducts Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies as a complimentary service for Chamber members of every level. Ceremonies can be performed as a stand- alone event or as a part of an Open House or Grand Opening. We bring the camera, official scissors, and the ribbon, and invite a representative of The Crescent News.

Check out an upcoming Ribbon Cutting to see what it's all about!

What are the Benefits of Holding a Ribbon Cutting?

Holding a Ribbon Cutting is a great opportunity for you to create public awareness about your business.
A Ribbon Cutting gives you the opportunity to thank your contractors, lenders and other supporting businesses who were involved in assisting you in opening or remodeling your business.
Your Ribbon Cutting can be a time to show future customers "behind the scenes" areas of your business.
