Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess
The platform made it incredibly easy to connect with brands that aligned with our event values. Having a nutrition company sample their products at our aid stations was perfect—runners got to try something new, and we discovered a potential long-term sponsor. The whole process was smooth from negotiation to execution.
We partnered with a major athletic brand for a post-race sampling event and it was fantastic. The activation brought in over 200 extra participants who stuck around after the finish line, and our members appreciated the free product giveaways. It felt natural for our community and actually strengthened our relationship with local sponsors.
We hosted three different brand activations last year and each one brought something unique to our events. Beyond the revenue cut we received, the sampling booths created genuine buzz among our participants and gave us fresh content for social media. Our attendees actually looked forward to which brands would show up next.
