Success Stories

What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

• BL - Blackwood Asylum Haunt
  This was our first time doing a brand activation, and honestly, we were nervous about it. But the influx of engaged visitors during the sampling event exceeded our expectations, and it sparked conversations about future partnerships. Plus, our staff appreciated the professional coordination—it made everything run smoothly on event night.

• SH - Shadowbrook Manor Haunted House
  Working with a brand partner through this platform was incredibly seamless. We hosted an energy drink sampling during our peak October weekend, and it added so much value for our guests without disrupting the experience. The activation brought in an extra revenue stream while genuinely enhancing what our visitors came for.

• TH - The Crypt Experience at Riverside
  The product sampling activation we hosted introduced us to hundreds of new potential customers we wouldn't have reached otherwise. Our team loved the professionalism of the brand rep, and guests kept asking where they could buy the product—it felt like a natural fit rather than forced advertising.
