What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

The product sampling activation we hosted brought in a completely new crowd during our typically slow Tuesday evening. Our regulars appreciated the variety, and we ended up selling more wine bottles that night than we normally do in a week. The platform made the entire coordination process seamless, and we're already booking our next activation.

Hosting a wellness brand activation here created an amazing community moment—our members felt valued and excited about the sampling experience. Beyond the positive vibe, it opened up a new revenue stream we hadn't considered before. Follett handled all the logistics, so we could focus on what we do best: teaching classes.

The activation brought such great energy to our market on Saturday mornings. The brand team was professional, the samples aligned perfectly with our health-conscious customer base, and we actually saw several vendors mention increased sales that day. Follett made the entire coordination process seamless from start to finish.
