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 to our café during off-peak hours, and honestly, many of them became regular customers. The brand was professional, the setup was seamless, and our existing customers loved the vibe and free samples. It's rare to find an opportunity that benefits both your business and your community like this did.

Venue Partner

Partnering with brands for sampling events has genuinely elevated our venue's reputation and brought in crowds we wouldn't normally see on a Tuesday night. The brands we've worked with were respectful of our space and clientele, and our staff appreciated having something exciting and different to facilitate. Definitely doing more of these.

We've done a few activations now and each one has been better than the last. The foot traffic is noticeable, but what really impressed me was how engaged our customers were—they actually lingered longer, asked questions, and made purchases. Plus, the revenue share made it worthwhile financially.
