Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess
The health and wellness brand we partnered with aligned perfectly with our studio's values, which made the whole experience feel authentic rather than forced. Our members appreciated the free samples, and the additional revenue from the activation helped us offset some overhead costs during a slower season. The platform made the entire booking and coordination process seamless from start to finish.
We were hesitant about hosting a product sampling at first, but the brand team was professional and our customers responded incredibly well. It created this nice buzz around our venue that carried over into the weekend, and we saw a noticeable uptick in wine sales for weeks after. The activation brought in foot traffic from people who'd never visited us before, and at least a handful became regulars.
Working with the platform to host a premium beverage sampling event brought in over 300 new visitors to our cafe during a typically slow Tuesday afternoon. The activation was so well-organized that our staff barely had to lift a finger, and we've already booked two more events for next quarter. Our regular customers loved discovering new products, and it genuinely felt like a win-win for everyone involved.
