What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

We were hesitant at first about hosting a product sampling event, but it turned out to be a fantastic way to introduce our members to wellness brands that aligned with our values. The activation generated great buzz on social media, and we even got a few new membership sign-ups that day. The revenue share was fair, and it didn't disrupt our regular classes at all.

The brand activation we hosted brought in so much energy to our usual Wednesday afternoon crowd. It was refreshing to see our regulars excited about sampling new products, and honestly, the sampling company's team was super professional and respectful of our space. We'd definitely do this again.

Having a sampling activation in our shop felt natural and authentic—the brand they chose actually resonated with our indie-loving customer base. We saw a noticeable uptick in store traffic, and customers appreciated the interactive experience. It created a real sense of community in our space that day, which is exactly the vibe we're going for.
