The Tigard Chamber of Commerce conducts Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies as a complimentary service (over $300 value) for Tigard Chamber Members who invest at Visibility and above membership levels. Ceremonies can be performed as a stand-alone event, as part of a Good Morning Tigard hosted event, or as a part of an Open House, Grand Opening, After Hours,
or Anniversary Celebration.

We bring the photographer, official oversized scissors and, of course, the ribbon! A portion of the Ribbon is yours to keep.

Ribbon Cuttings are also available a la carte for Emerging Pro level members for a fee. Please contact us at the Tigard Chamber to reserve your date at least 30 days in advance. Notice less than 30 days in advance will be considered on a case by case basis.

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 also gives you the opportunity to thank your contractors, lenders, and other support businesses who were involved in assisting you in opening or remodeling your business
  • Your Ribbon Cutting can be a time to show future customers the ‘behind the scenes’ areas of your business
When would a business hold a Ribbon Cutting?
  • If you are within the first year of opening your business or expanding your business footprint.
  • If you are within a year of purchasing an existing business.
  • If your business recently moved, has been remodeled or has changed ownership.
  • If your business is celebrating a milestone Anniversary.
What the Chamber does:
  • Sends out an email to Chamber Ambassadors, Chamber Board Members, and City Officials to notify them of your Ribbon Cutting
  • Promotes the event on the Chamber Calendar, available to all our Chamber members and the general public
  • Provides the giant scissors and ribbon to cut
  • Attends the Ribbon Cutting and takes a photo and video of the ceremony
  • Post the photo and video on the Chamber Facebook page
  • Typically, our Ambassadors and a Staff Member will attend. On occasion, as time allows, the Chamber CEO, Chair of the Board, Mayor of Tigard, City Councilors, and Board Members attend as well. Attendance is dependent on the availability of the participants.
What the Member Business does:
  • Plans the date and time of the Ribbon Cutting with the Staff of the Chamber to be sure we are available. To avoid date and time conflicts, it is best to set a date well in advance; 45-90 days’ notice is optimal.
  • We strongly encourage you to schedule your Ribbon Cutting Monday–Friday and either early in the morning, at lunch time, or after 5 pm to avoid conflicts and allow our members to support the event.
