RIBBON CUTTINGS
The Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce facilitated over 100 ribbon cuttings for member businesses in 2023. The Chamber loves to celebrate new businesses and is eager to welcome them into our organization. Ribbon cuttings are the best way to introduce new businesses into the community. They increase your company’s visibility and establish meaningful relationships with business leaders, city officials, and community members. Ribbon cuttings aren’t just for new member businesses, the Chamber is happy to celebrate member businesses who have remodeled or moved to a new location or are celebrating a major milestone or anniversary.
