Ribbon Cutting Guidelines

Are you opening a new business, expanding at your current location, relocating, or celebrating a milestone anniversary? Let the Robins Regional Chamber help you celebrate! A Ribbon Cutting ceremony is an important part of your overall marketing and advertising plan and is a great way to kick off a grand opening or relocation of a business. A Chamber representative will be on hand at your event to offer congratulatory remarks and take photos for publication.

  • The Chamber will send your ribbon cutting information to our Ambassadors, Chamber Board of Directors, Local Elected Officials & media. Although the media and elected officials will receive notice of the event we cannot guarantee they will attend.

What do I need to do for my Ribbon Cutting?
  • Complete the online Ribbon Cutting Application.
  • Confirm your date and time with the Chamber.
  • Prepare your remarks for the event.
    • Pro-Tip: Make sure you have something to say. Keep your comments engaging & informative. Introduce your staff, offer a facility tour, etc.

Please be aware that the time of your event is published in the member communication and on the Chamber’s website and many attendees will depend on your promptness.
