Northside Badminton Collective
Brand Partner
The product sampling activation we hosted brought in a ton of energy to our courts on a typically slow Wednesday evening. We saw 40% more walk-ins that night, and several of those visitors signed up for our membership packages. The brand was professional, and our members genuinely appreciated the free samples.RI
