What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

Hosting a tech product sampling event completely revitalized our common areas for an entire weekend. The energy was electric, and frankly, it helped us attract new lease signings from students who experienced the event. We've already booked another activation because our residents keep asking when the next one is happening.

We partnered with a major beverage brand for a sampling event last spring, and it was incredible. Our residents were genuinely excited to try new products, and it created this awesome buzz around campus that lasted weeks. The activation brought in solid revenue and strengthened our relationship with the student community.

The snack brand activation we hosted exceeded all our expectations in terms of engagement. Residents were lined up around the block, and we appreciated how professionally the brand team handled everything. It was a win-win—they got quality sampling data, and we got to offer our community something fun and free.
