Ribbon Cuttings, Open Houses, and Celebrations

Ribbon Cuttings, Milestone Celebrations, Open Houses, and Community Celebrations 

As a member of The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce, we want to help you celebrate business milestones.  If it's a new location... a remodel... a milestone occasion... whatever the case, we want to help you connect with fellow Chamber members and the Bloomington community.  

We invite member businesses to 
let us know when the celebration is happening, and we'll help publicize the event.  By filling out either the Ribbon Cutting or Open House forms, we can know how we can best help you celebrate your big day.  We will bring some of our Ambassadors with us and share the event on The Chamber's Facebook page as well.  

​

Ribbon Cuttings & Milestone Celebrations

Hosting a ribbon cutting for a new business or new location announces you're open for business! A ribbon cutting is the ceremonial opening of a brand-new or relocated business. It can inaugurate a businesses' first day or it can take place weeks after the business' soft opening.

Open House & Community Celebrations

Hosting an open house for a business shows off your businesses in a fun and exciting way. For an Open House or Community Celebration, you will receive Chamber marketing support. This includes promotion to ~850 members and their employees through Chamber social media and email marketing. The Chamber will handle the event registration, and you will also receive the registered attendee list after your event.

Which form do you fill out? If your business...

  • Is brand new to the business community
  • Found a new place and relocated
  • Is celebrating 25, 30, or 50+ years in business
  • Is opening its storefront

Then you'll want to request a Ribbon Cutting with this form!

Request a Ribbon Cutting or Milestone Celebration
  • Wants to celebrate and is inviting the Chamber and the community to an open house to showcase your business
  • Has rebranded or has new ownership
  • Wants to host a party

Then you'll want to request an Open House of Community Celebration with this form!

We even have some tips to help you maximize the publicity of your celebration!  Don't forget to check out Chamber members who provide catering - they can help enhance the occasion! ​
