What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

Working with the platform to host product sampling events has been fantastic for our café. We saw a noticeable spike in customer visits during activation days, and our regulars appreciated discovering new brands they wouldn't have found otherwise. It's become a great way to build community while generating additional revenue.

Hosting brand activations here has energized our shop in ways we didn't expect. The foot traffic alone was impressive, but what really stood out was how engaged people were—they spent time browsing our collection while sampling products, which led to actual sales beyond the activation itself. Definitely recommend this to other indie retailers.

The activation we hosted brought in a demographic we'd been trying to reach for months. The brand rep was professional, our members were genuinely interested in the products, and we appreciated how seamlessly everything was coordinated. We've already booked another event for next quarter.
