Congratulations on scheduling your Ribbon Cutting, Ground Breaking, Open House or Milestone Celebration with the Columbia Chamber!
- Ribbon cuttings for Keystone, Executive, and Ambassador Partners are included with your Partnership.
- Partners at the Keystone level and up may schedule one ribbon cutting, groundbreaking, open house or business celebration promoted by the Chamber per year. (Additional ribbon cuttings are available for $600 per location.)
- Ribbon cuttings for Impact level Partners are $600 with your Partnership. (As of July 1, 2025 Impact Partnership is no longer available). With this investment your business will be upgraded to Keystone Partnership level. Your ribbon cutting date will be confirmed once payment is received.
We suggest scheduling a ribbon cutting 2-4 weeks in advance in order to receive the most promotion from the Chamber. Partners who submit the details of their event 4 weeks in advance will receive an average of 8,500+ impressions through the Chamber. We hold ribbon-cutting events Monday through Thursday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Ribbon cuttings are not held in July.
The Chamber will provide the following for your event:
- Stanchions, ribbon, and large scissors
- Professional Photographer & (10) edited photos from event
- Live Stream on social or posted video from event on social
- Custom Letter sent to local dignitaries and municipalities on Partner's behalf
- Custom Invite Graphic created that Partner can use to invite additional guests and post on social
- Tagged pictures and social media, post-event
- A Chamber representative in attendance
- A commemorative plaque
- A window cling to display at your place of business
- Inclusion on our weekly Upcoming Events emails (starting one month prior)
- A dedicated event webpage on the Chamber’s event calendar
