What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

As a small, independent craft retailer, we were nervous about investing in brand activations, but hosting a product sampling event at the St. Paul Festival exceeded our expectations. Not only did we introduce our sustainable textile line to hundreds of people who actually care about quality and heritage, but we also built relationships with other local vendors that turned into ongoing collaborations. The foot traffic and brand awareness we gained made it completely worthwhile.

Nordic Knits Marketplace

Venue Partner

We partnered with the St. Paul Festival and Heritage Foundation for a spirits sampling activation during their summer festival, and it was exactly the boost we needed. The curated audience was genuinely interested in our products, and we ended up with over 200 new customers on our email list that day alone. The Foundation's professionalism made the entire process seamless from start to finish.

Heritage Hill Distillery

Venue Partner

The St. Paul Festival and Heritage Foundation connected us with the perfect activation opportunity to showcase our seasonal craft ales to the right demographic. What impressed me most was how well-organized everything was and how the Foundation's audience actually engaged with our brand story rather than just grabbing free samples. We've already booked another activation for next year.
