Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess
We've done three activations through this service now, and each time the process has been smooth and the brands are genuinely invested in engaging our audience. The snack brand sampling we did in Q3 actually led to them becoming a recurring sponsor, which has helped stabilize our monthly revenue. Highly recommend if you're looking to monetize your venue space without disrupting the experience.
The product resonated well with fans, especially as an easy, microwavable option during gaming breaks. It naturally positioned itself as “gamer fuel,” which made it feel relevant and on-brand for the audience at the Block Party. I would be open to partnering again for future Block Parties. Having a product partner to help fulfill giveaways is helpful during Block Parties, as many teams activate with freebies and food offerings. It allows us to also have a giveaway item from a fan engagement standpoint while keeping investment efficient on our end.
The platform made it incredibly easy to connect with brands looking to sample products at our tournaments. We hosted an energy drink activation last month and saw a 40% spike in concession sales that weekend—plus our players and spectators loved the free samples. It's been a win-win for building stronger community relationships.
