Tips for a Successful Event

The More the Merrier… In addition to elected officials and PEDC Directors, we encourage you to invite clients, vendors, neighboring businesses, family, and friends. This is your chance to showcase your business and its assets to the community.

Celebrate and Decorate… Celebrate this great event by having festive décor. Balloons and branded signage not only draw attention to your business but also bring a celebratory spirit to the ceremony and make it easier for attendees to locate your business.

Chips, Dips, and Everything in Between… Since celebrations traditionally take place during the lunch hours of 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., we encourage you to have refreshments, snacks, cake, and drinks for guests.

Open Up… Give guests a brief tour of your facility and explain what makes your business unique. You may never know what this can do for making business contacts in the future!
