What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

We were hesitant at first, but hosting a Route 66 Marathon activation absolutely energized our store community. The eclectic crowd that showed up exposed our niche business to people we'd never reach otherwise, and we ended up with new regular customers who discovered us through the event. Plus, the activation company was incredibly professional and handled all the logistics.

The Route 66 Marathon sampling event brought an incredible crowd through our doors on a typically slow Tuesday afternoon. We not only generated significant beverage sales while guests waited, but several brand partners have already reached out about doing recurring activations with us. It's become a reliable revenue stream we didn't expect.

What impressed us most was how the activation aligned perfectly with our brand values—clients felt genuinely excited to discover new wellness products rather than being pitched at. The event created authentic conversations between our therapists and guests, and we've had follow-up inquiries from three of the sampling brands about becoming retail partners.
