What Brands Are Saying

Real feedback from brands that have activated at UpClose Marketing locations

The product sampling activation we hosted brought in a crowd we didn't expect on a typically slow Wednesday evening. Our regulars appreciated discovering new brands, and we ended up selling more beer and food that night than we normally would. It's a win-win that keeps our venue top-of-mind in the community.

Our weekend foot traffic increased by about 30% during the activation, which was fantastic for our other vendors too. Customers spent longer browsing because they were sampling products, and that naturally led to more purchases across the board. We've already booked another activation and recommended the platform to neighboring businesses.

What impressed me most was how seamlessly the brand team integrated with our vibe without disrupting our regular clients' experience. The sampling event introduced our members to products that genuinely complemented our services, leading to partnerships we're still exploring. The platform made logistics incredibly simple.
