Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess
The activation program aligned perfectly with our studio's values and gave our members something special to look forward to. We loved how the brand reps were respectful of our space and integrated seamlessly into our wellness-focused community. The sampling event actually led to several members recommending our studio to their friends.
Hosting activations has been fantastic for our business—we saw a noticeable spike in customers during the events and a lot of them came back on other days too. The energy was great, the product fit naturally with our café culture, and our baristas appreciated getting to chat with customers about something fresh and exciting.
We've hosted three product sampling events at our bar and each one brought in crowds we wouldn't normally see on those nights. The brands were professional, our regulars got excited about trying new products, and it turned into a genuine community gathering. It's become a win-win for both us and the brands looking to connect with our demographic.
