Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess
We partnered with a beverage brand for a sampling event last fall, and it was incredibly smooth from start to finish. Our residents were genuinely excited to try new products, and the activation brought the whole community together in a way we hadn't seen before. The revenue share was fair, and it definitely boosted our community engagement scores.
Hosting product sampling events has become a win-win for us and our residents. We've done three activations now, and each time we see increased foot traffic in our common areas and higher resident satisfaction ratings. Plus, the supplemental income helps offset our operational costs during slower seasons.
What I appreciated most was how professional the entire process was—from vetting brands to managing logistics on the day of. Our young professional residents loved discovering new products, and we noticed it created natural networking opportunities among tenants. It's become a highlight of our quarterly community calendar.
