Why do you want to cut the ribbon when opening?

Question 1: Why is it necessary to have a ribbon-cutting ceremony before starting work? What do you mean, cut the ribbon? There are two legends about the origin of ribbon-cutting. According to a legend, the ribbon-cutting originated in western Europe. The shipbuilding industry in ancient western Europe was developed, and the launch of new ships often attracted thousands of spectators. In order to prevent the crowd from rushing to the new ship and causing accidents, the host set up a "defense line" with a rope far away from the hull before the new ship was launched. After the launching ceremony of the new ship is ready, the host will cut the ribbon for the audience to visit. Later, the rope was changed into a ribbon, and people named it "ribbon-cutting".

According to another legend, the ribbon-cutting originated in America. 19 12, a large American department store is about to open. For good luck, the boss opened the shop door early in the morning and tied a cloth belt in front of it to attract attention. However, shortly before leaving the store, one of the boss's daughters 10 ran out of the store with a puppy and accidentally broke the cloth belt. Suddenly, customers waiting outside the door filed in and rushed to buy goods.

Soon, the boss opened a new store, and he made his daughter break the cloth belt on purpose, so he was rich. So people think that the little girl's broken ribbon is a good omen, and they follow suit, replacing it with ribbons and cutting it with scissors.

Question 2: The company will hold an opening ceremony. Shall we cut the ribbon first or open the ceremony first? Ribbon cutting is one of the contents of the opening ceremony. Usually, after speaking in the salary table of leaders at all levels, relevant departments and companies, it is the last content of the opening ceremony, and the rest is to show outsiders around and introduce various details. If there are cultural activities, they will be held separately after the opening ceremony (cultural activities after lunch in the morning or cultural activities at the opening ceremony in the afternoon, because if foreign leaders are invited to cut the ribbon, it is generally impossible to wait until the cultural activities are over).

Question 3: Why should we cut the ribbon when starting a business? There are two theories about the origin and origin of the 40-minute ribbon-cutting: one is that the ribbon-cutting originated in western Europe. The shipbuilding industry in ancient western Europe was relatively developed, and the launch of new ships often attracted thousands of spectators. In order to prevent the crowd from rushing to the new ship and causing accidents, the host set up a "defense line" with a rope far away from the hull before the new ship was launched. After the launching ceremony of the new ship is ready, the host will cut the ribbon for the audience to visit. Later, the rope was changed into a ribbon. People named it "ribbon cutting". Another way of saying this is that the ribbon-cutting originated in America. 19 12 years, in a rural town in the United States, the owner of a shop had a unique opinion and was inspired by an accidental accident. Taking this as a model, he created a brand-new celebration ceremony for merchants-the ribbon-cutting ceremony. At that time, the store was about to open. In order to prevent the customers who flocked after hearing the news from losing their temper before the official opening, the shopkeeper rushed into the store and rushed to buy all the bargains used to discount customers, so that those who came on time could not get fair treatment, so he just found a cloth belt and tied it to the door frame. Who would have thought that this temporary measure even aroused the curiosity of people crowded outside the store, prompting them to enter the store earlier and get a sneak peek at the goods to be sold. Coincidentally, just when people outside the store became extremely curious and impatient, the owner's little daughter suddenly ran out of the store with a puppy in her arms, and the "inexperienced" cute puppy knocked the cloth tied to the store door to the ground. People who don't know the truth outside the store mistakenly think that this is a "new trick" made by the store to open the Zhang Zhixi, so they immediately rushed in to buy it. To the owner's delight, business was very good on the opening day of his shop. Always superstitious, he "reflected" on this. Finally, he decided that his good fortune was all brought by the cloth belt knocked down by his little daughter's puppy. So he made the same mistake when several of his "chain stores" opened one after another. Over time, his little daughter and the puppy's unintentional "invention and creation" gradually became a whole set of ceremonies after he and his descendants continued to "refine and sublimate". It first spread all over the United States, and then all over the world. In the process of spreading, it was also given an extremely loud and famous name-ribbon-cutting. Inherited, it has become a popular "ribbon-cutting" ceremony today.

Question 6: What should I pay attention to when cutting the ribbon? First of all, the most important thing is to pay attention to the order of subject and object. According to the importance of the guests, the director should stand in the middle, surrounded by important guests, and row them out in turn.

Secondly, pay attention to safety, fire prevention and theft prevention.

Question 7: The main contents of the ribbon-cutting ceremony The main contents of the ribbon-cutting ceremony are as follows: When organizing the ribbon-cutting ceremony, you don't need to seek novelty, novelty and sensation blindly, which is divorced from your actual ability. Diligent housekeeping is something that business people must keep in mind whenever and wherever they are. From the operational point of view, the current ribbon-cutting etiquette mainly includes four aspects: the preparation, the personnel, the procedure and the method of ribbon-cutting. Below, focus on it. First of all, the preparations for ribbon-cutting must be meticulous. Holding other meetings involves site layout, environmental sanitation, lighting and sound preparation, media invitation, personnel training and so on. It goes without saying that when preparing these aspects, we must be careful and strive for perfection. In addition, we have carefully selected and prepared some special tools for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, such as red ribbons, new scissors, white tulle gloves, trays and red carpets. Secondly, people who cut the ribbon must be selective. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, of course, people are the most active, not things. Therefore, the ribbon-cutting personnel must be carefully selected and trained in advance. (1) personnel composition: besides the host, the ribbon-cutting personnel are mainly composed of two main parts, namely the ribbon-cutting person and the ribbon-cutting assistant. (2) Etiquette requirements: Below, we briefly introduce the main etiquette requirements for them. It is a high honor to be a ribbon cutter at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The level of ribbon-cutting ceremony is often closely related to the identity of the ribbon-cutter. Therefore, when choosing ribbon-cutting personnel, the most important thing is to choose the ribbon-cutting person. A ribbon-cutter is a person who cuts the ribbon with scissors at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Traditionally, the ribbon-cutting person can be one person or several people, but generally there should not be more than five people. Usually, ribbon-cutting staff are usually held by superiors, partners, celebrities, employee representatives or customer representatives. The list of ribbon-cutting artists must be determined before the ribbon-cutting ceremony is officially held. Once the list is confirmed, the other party should be informed as soon as possible to make preparations. Under normal circumstances, when determining the ribbon-cutting person, we must respect each other's personal opinions and don't force each other. When several people need to cut the ribbon at the same time, they should tell each ribbon cutter who he will share the responsibility with. Doing so is a kind of respect for the ribbon-cutter. Don't "get cold feet", just drag your feet before the ribbon-cutting begins and find someone to make up for it temporarily. When necessary, before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the ribbon-cutting people can be gathered together to inform each other of the relevant precautions and conduct some training. Generally speaking, a ribbon cutter should wear a suit, skirt or uniform and comb his hair neatly. No hats, sunglasses or casual clothes are allowed. If only one person cuts the ribbon, you can cut it in the middle, right away. If more than one person cuts the ribbon, be sure to pay attention to their ranking when they cut the ribbon at the same time. The general rule is: the middle is higher than both sides, and the right is higher than the left. The farther away from the person standing in the middle, the lower the ranking, that is, the main trimmer should be in the middle position. It should be noted that the reason why the ribbon-cutting ceremony is stipulated as "the right side is higher than the left side" is mainly because it is an international practice and the ribbon-cutting ceremony should be observed. In fact, if no foreign guests attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the traditional practice of "the left side is higher than the right side" in China will be implemented. Shearer refers to a person who helps the ribbon cutter in a series of ribbon-cutting processes. Generally speaking, most of the shearers are the female employees of the host. Nowadays, people usually call them waitresses. Specifically, the hostesses serving at the ribbon-cutting ceremony can be divided into greeters, tour guides, waiters, lottery winners, flower girl and tray girls. The usher's task is to be responsible for seeing off at the event site. The task of the wizard is to guide the ribbon cutter to go on stage or exit during the ribbon cutting process. The waiter's task is to provide drinks for the guests, especially the guests who cut the ribbon, and arrange a rest place. The task of the color puller is to unfold and straighten the red ribbon when cutting the ribbon. Flower girl's task is to hold a bouquet when cutting the ribbon. The task of pallet porters is to provide ribbon-cutting supplies, such as scissors and gloves, to ribbon-cutters. Generally speaking, there should be more than one usher and waiter. The guide can be one person, or one person for each ribbon cutter. Generally, it should be two people pulling the lottery. The number of flower stands depends on the specific number of flower groups, which should generally be one flower. Pallet porters can be one person, or one person can be assigned to each ribbon cutter. Sometimes, a hostess can wear several hats. The basic conditions of a miss etiquette are good looks, tall figure, young and healthy, elegant temperament, sweet tone, quick response, wit and flexibility, and good at communication.

Question 8: What is the connotation and significance of ribbon cutting? Ribbon-cutting is a popular ceremony since the 20th century. Tracing back to the source, it originated in the United States.

It is said that in 19 12, a large department store will open in Wadimi Town, San Antonio, USA. In order to make a profit, the boss Wells strictly followed the local customs, opened the store door early in the morning and tied a cloth belt horizontally in front of it. Everything is ready, just waiting for the official start. Unexpectedly, just before the official opening, the boss 10-year-old daughter rushed out of the store with a pug and accidentally broke the cloth belt across the door. At this time, customers and passers-by who had been waiting outside the door thought that the company had officially started business, and they flocked to buy goods. This is really a prosperous industry with huge profits. Soon after, when Wells' second branch was about to open again, he suddenly remembered the grand opening of the first branch. In order to make a fortune, the boss tried the same trick again, and the effect was naturally good. Later, people followed this method, replacing monotonous cloth belts with ribbons, cutting ribbons with scissors, and some even used gold scissors. In this way, people officially named it "ribbon-cutting".
