What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

This was our first time doing a structured product sampling event, and honestly, we were nervous about logistics. The support from the platform made everything smooth, and our vendors were thrilled with the organic engagement from new customers. We ended up generating an extra $2,400 in revenue that weekend alone, plus we gained valuable insights into what products resonate with our demographic.

This partnership gave us a legitimate way to drive mid-week traffic during our slower season. The brands we worked with were thoughtful about how they engaged our shoppers, and it felt authentic rather than intrusive. Plus, the activation fee helped offset our overhead costs during a tight period.

The product sampling activation we hosted brought in over 200 new faces on a typically slow Tuesday afternoon. Our regulars appreciated the variety, and we ended up selling more merchandise that day than we normally do in a week. It was a win-win that energized our whole community.
