WHAT IS RECESS?

The all-in-one sponsorship solution

One platform to manage all your sponsorships and brand partnerships

Single place to list opportunities, manage inquiries and contracting, schedule events, process payments, and report on your sponsorship programs.

We've simplified sponsorships into a single, easy-to-use platform that does the heavy lifting for you.

A steady, second source of revenue for your business

Diversifying your revenue is key to business continuity, and we’re here to help make sponsorships a reliable source of secondary income.

At Recess, we figured out a business model that has brands paying YOU to give away premium products to your members. Doesn’t get better than that!

We'll bring you brands that want to work with you

When you list your sponsorship on our platform, we'll expose you to thousands of brands who are searching for unique sampling opportunities like yours.

Brands can then express interest in the opportunity through the platform, and you'll have the ability to accept or decline the product. It's really that easy.

Data to better understand your customers

Our platform can tell you about purchasing behaviors and brand affinities of your customers–all valuable information to help you make better overall business decisions.

You'll see if your customers, overall, have a higher brand affinity for Target or Walmart, prefer shopping at Whole Foods or Costco, and even their favorite convenience store. 7-Eleven slurpees, anyone?

WHY RECESS?

Get paid to gift your members premium products

Build a steady source of income for your business

With our platform, you’ll get inquiries from great brands that will pay you to participate in sponsorship programs at your locations. Our reporting capabilities also makes it easy for you to understand how much you’re getting paid out.

Enhance your community membership experience

Your members get premium products on the brand’s dime. Our platform helps your business drive more value to your members via experiences that are hosted and sponsored by great brands that your members will resonate with.

Increase member and community satisfaction

Recess helps you increase member renewals and decrease churn by giving you an opportunity to create “delight” moments at no cost to you. In fact, you’ll make money off hosting these experiences, so it’s a win-win!

We received nothing but positive comments with this sampling program, and it was very easy to execute. Fans simply could not believe that this premium product was being sampled and not sold.
