What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

The platform made it incredibly easy to connect with a plant-based supplement company looking to demo their products. Our yoga and wellness clients were the ideal audience, and the activation generated meaningful conversations about health and nutrition. Plus, it added value for our members without feeling forced or commercial.

Urban Wellness Studio

Venue Partner

We partnered with a local kombucha brand for a sampling event last month and it was fantastic. The activation brought in nearly 200 new customers who wouldn't have discovered us otherwise, and several came back the following week. It felt like a natural fit with our community-focused vibe and helped us build relationships with complementary brands.

The Brew Collective Coffee House

Venue Partner

The product sampling activation we hosted elevated our venue's profile in the community. The brand's marketing team was professional and respectful of our space, and their attendees mingled seamlessly with our existing event crowd. We've already booked three more activations based on how well the first one went.
