Success Stories

What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

"The activation we hosted generated some much-needed revenue during a slow period and gave our residents a genuine reason to spend time in our communal spaces. A snack company ran a really well-organized sampling, and honestly, it helped us showcase our venue to prospective residents on a tour that same day. Win-win situation."

Collegiate Living at Oak Ridge

Venue Partner

"We partnered with a beverage brand for a sampling event last semester and it was fantastic for community engagement. Our residents were thrilled to try new products, and the activation brought together students from different dorms who normally wouldn't interact. The brand rep was professional, and we saw a noticeable boost in foot traffic throughout our common areas that day."

The Quad at Riverside Commons

Venue Partner

"We've hosted three brand activations now through this platform, and each one has strengthened our relationship with residents and created memorable experiences in our community. The brands are vetted, the logistics are smooth, and our residents appreciate feeling valued. Plus, it's become a nice revenue stream for us without requiring much effort on our end."
