Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess
We partnered with a beverage brand for a sampling event last semester and it was fantastic for building community engagement. Our residents loved the free samples, and it gave us an opportunity to showcase our venue to potential future tenants who were visiting campus.
The activation brought in way more foot traffic than we anticipated, especially during peak evening hours when students were returning from classes. We ended up generating solid additional revenue from increased concession sales that day, and our residents are still talking about the event.
Hosting this product sampling activation was a win-win for everyone involved. The brand got direct access to our demographic, our residents got to try quality products for free, and we strengthened our reputation as a forward-thinking community hub on campus. Definitely open to doing more of these.
