What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

This was such a smart way to drive engagement without disrupting our regular vendors. The sampling event attracted shoppers who might not have visited that day, and several ended up making purchases from our local merchants too—it created a real win-win situation for everyone involved.

WE

Westcott Street Market Hall

Venue Partner

The product sampling event we hosted brought incredible energy to our café during a typically slow weekday afternoon. We saw a 40% spike in foot traffic and customers were genuinely excited to try new products while enjoying our space—it felt like a natural fit rather than a forced promotion.

Working with brands for activations has opened up a whole new revenue stream for us that didn't require much effort on our part. The activation team handled everything seamlessly, our patrons got to discover cool new products, and we built stronger relationships with our community in the process.
