What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

Working with brands on activations has become a key revenue stream for our artist collective. The events bring energy to our venue, attract younger crowds who might not have visited otherwise, and create amazing content for our Instagram. Our tenants actually request activation dates now because they see the ripple effect on their own businesses.

We were hesitant at first, but hosting this product sampling activation was one of the best decisions we made for our food hall. The brand activated during lunch rush, which meant our vendors saw increased traffic and sales that day. Plus, it added credibility to our space and gave our regulars something exciting to talk about.

Manifest Market Hall

Venue Partner

The brand activation we hosted brought in a completely different demographic to our boutique, which was exactly what we needed. The sampling event generated buzz on social media, and we ended up partnering with the brand for ongoing collaborations. It felt like a natural fit for our community and brought in some serious foot traffic on what's typically a slower Tuesday.
