What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

We partnered with a local beverage brand for a sampling event and it was fantastic for our business. The activation brought in a completely new crowd during our typically slow afternoon hours, and many of those visitors ended up buying our coffee and pastries. It felt like a win-win since our customers got to discover something new and the brand got authentic feedback from people who already appreciate quality beverages.

The Daily Grind Coffee Roastery

Venue Partner

When a sustainable snack brand came to sample at our farmers market, it felt like a perfect match for our mission. The event brought families together, sparked real conversations about the product, and reinforced our position as a hub for health-conscious shoppers in the community. Our vendors noticed increased traffic throughout the market that day, which is exactly the kind of collaborative energy we love to foster.

Hosting product sampling activations has added a whole new revenue stream for us between our regular bookings. We've worked with three different brands now, and each time our staff and existing clients are genuinely excited to participate. The brands appreciate our professional setup and foot traffic, and we appreciate the additional income without having to do much heavy lifting on our end.
