What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

We partnered with a local kombucha brand for a sampling event and it was incredibly well-received by our college-aged clientele. The activation brought in customers who wouldn't normally visit during those hours, and several bought full bottles after trying the samples. It was a win-win that strengthened our relationship with the UMass community.

The Bookworm's Corner

Venue Partner

We've done multiple activations now and each one has exceeded our expectations in terms of engagement and sales lift. The sampling events create this natural buzz in our shop, customers stick around longer, and it's helped us build brand loyalty with the student population. Honestly, it's become one of our favorite ways to connect with the campus community.
