What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

The brand activation we hosted brought incredible energy to our community spaces and our residents were genuinely excited to discover new products. What really impressed us was how the sampling event naturally drove foot traffic through our common areas, and we picked up three new lease signings from families who visited during the event.

Partnering for this activation was one of the best decisions we made this year—the engagement levels were off the charts and our residents felt valued as part of something special. The event created genuine buzz in our community and we've already booked two more activations for next semester based on how smoothly the first one went.

Venue Partner

We were hesitant at first about hosting a product sampling event, but it turned out to be a fantastic way to strengthen our relationship with residents and generate some additional venue rental revenue. The brand team was professional and easy to work with, and our residents are still talking about the experience weeks later.
