What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

The activation we hosted brought in foot traffic we hadn't seen in months, especially from students who might not have discovered our store otherwise. The brand was professional, respectful of our space, and their samples aligned perfectly with our customer base. We're definitely doing this again.

Spartan Village Market

Venue Partner

We partnered with a local beverage brand for a Saturday morning sampling event, and it was fantastic. Our regulars brought friends, the energy was electric, and we actually saw a 30% spike in pastry sales that day as people lingered longer. It's a win-win when you find the right brand fit for your space.

The Grind Coffee Collective

Hosting a health supplement brand activation was such a natural fit for our yoga and wellness community. Beyond the immediate buzz and new customers we gained, it really strengthened our positioning as a hub for holistic health in the area. The activation felt authentic and our members appreciated the curated experience.
