Brand Success Stories

See what brands achieved at LGBTQ Events venues

As a smaller specialty coffee roaster, we were nervous about giving up counter space, but the beverage brand activation we hosted actually enhanced our own sales that day. Their samples complemented what we do rather than competing with it, and we made an extra $800 in direct revenue while building relationships with customers we wouldn't have reached otherwise.

Lavender & Oak Coffee Collective

Brand Partner

The platform made it incredibly easy to connect with brands that genuinely wanted to reach our community. We hosted a skincare sampling event last month and were thrilled with the turnout—not only did we see a 40% spike in that day's sales, but customers appreciated that the brand actually understood and respected our space. It felt like a natural partnership, not forced.

PR

Prism Pride Market

Brand Partner

Working with brands through this system has been fantastic for keeping our Friday night events fresh and engaging. We've hosted three activations so far, and each one brought new faces into the lounge who stayed for drinks and became regulars. The brands we partnered with were clearly invested in the LGBTQ community, which our customers could feel.
