What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

When we hosted a snack brand activation in our event space last month, we were impressed by how engaged our guests became with the product sampling experience. Not only did it enhance the atmosphere of our venue, but it also opened the door to future brand partnerships that could help offset our event space costs. The whole process was seamless and our customers loved it.

Mulholland Social Hall & Kitchen

Venue Partner

We partnered with a major beverage brand for a sampling event during midterms week, and it was perfectly timed. The activation brought in dozens of students who might not have visited our cafe otherwise, and many came back as regular customers. The brand team was professional, and we saw a noticeable bump in both foot traffic and merchandise sales that day.

Hosting product sampling activations has become a great revenue stream for us while giving our members access to new brands they genuinely care about. The most recent activation with a fitness nutrition company was perfectly aligned with our audience, and members appreciated the exclusive discounts offered. It's a win-win that strengthens our community.
