Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess
The product sampling activation was perfectly aligned with our festival's vibe, and it felt natural rather than forced. The brand team was professional, our attendees got genuine value from trying new products, and it opened up a new revenue stream for us without compromising the festival experience.
Working with DePaul University's activation network brought incredible energy to our venue during the sampling event. We saw a 40% spike in attendance that weekend, and the younger demographic that came through really connected with the brand—plus our bar sales went through the roof with all the extra bodies in the space.
DePaul's platform made the entire process seamless—from initial logistics to day-of execution. We loved how engaged our community was with the sampling event, and honestly, the feedback we got from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. It's a smart way to strengthen our relationship with the neighborhood while generating additional income.
