What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

The product sampling activation we hosted brought in a completely new demographic to our market on a typically slow Wednesday. We saw increased foot traffic that day, and honestly, the energy and excitement from customers trying new products created a buzz that carried over into the following weeks. It was great for our vendors too—everyone benefited from the exposure.

What impressed me most was how professional the entire process was from start to finish. The brand team was respectful of our space, our regulars loved the samples, and we ended up developing a relationship with the brand for future collaborations. It turned into an unexpected revenue opportunity for us beyond the activation fee.

Our members were genuinely excited about the sampling event, and it sparked real conversations about health and wellness that aligned perfectly with our community's values. The activation felt organic to our space rather than forced, and we noticed several participants came back specifically because of products they tried that day. Definitely something we'd love to do again.
