Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess
We were skeptical at first about hosting a brand activation, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made this year. Customers loved the sampling experience, and we were able to cross-promote our complementary products, which boosted our overall sales by 20% that weekend. The brand partner was professional and easy to work with too.
The product sampling activation we hosted brought in a fantastic crowd during a typically slow Tuesday evening. Not only did we see increased foot traffic and bar sales that night, but several of the attendees came back as regular customers the following weeks. It was a win-win for building our community and introducing our space to new people.
Partnering with a brand for a product sampling event aligned perfectly with our health-focused clientele and values. The activation felt natural in our space, our members got genuine value from trying quality products they care about, and we earned a nice revenue share that helped offset our monthly overhead costs. Definitely doing this again soon.
