What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

What impressed me most was how engaged our shoppers were during the activation—people actually stuck around longer and ended up purchasing more items than a typical Saturday. The sampling event felt natural for our market atmosphere and didn't disrupt our normal operations. We saw a noticeable bump in both foot traffic and overall sales that day.

The sampling event brought real value to our weekend market operations. We saw increased foot traffic in adjacent vendor stalls, and customers appreciated having something new and unexpected to experience. It felt organic and aligned perfectly with our mission of supporting local and emerging brands.
