Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess
We partnered with a sports nutrition brand for a sampling activation during our spring ultra marathon, and it was exactly the kind of value-add our participants were looking for. The brand covered setup costs, our runners got to try quality products they actually needed, and we earned a nice commission that helped offset event expenses. It felt like a win for everyone involved.
The activation platform made it incredibly easy to connect with brands that aligned with our outdoor racing community. We hosted a gear company sampling event at our base camp, and the engagement was genuine—runners spent time actually talking to the brand reps and testing equipment. It brought fresh energy to our venue and created a new revenue stream we hadn't considered before.
What impressed me most was how seamless the whole process was, from initial brand interest to execution day. We hosted a hydration supplement sampling at our multi-day obstacle course event, and it felt natural, not forced. Our athletes appreciated the free samples, the brand got quality exposure to their target market, and we made solid money without lifting a finger on logistics. Definitely doing this again.
