What Brands Are Saying

Real feedback from brands that have activated at Greystar locations

Working with Greystar for our first product sampling event was seamless from start to finish. The energy drink brand we hosted brought incredible buzz to our residential complex, and our residents appreciated having authentic brands come directly to them. We've already booked three more activations because of how smoothly everything ran and the genuine excitement it generated.

Overall, a very fun experience for our staff and residents. The only thing I would suggest, and this has been a suggestion in the past as well, is doing more than one flavor combination and not just one flavor of the items we receive. This helps with everyone having a different flavor preference, also giving more variety.

What kind of venues can I target?
Recess works with 10,000+ venues across dozens of categories including fitness studios, yoga studios, gyms, coworking spaces, salons, spas, hotels, and more. You can filter by venue type, location, audience demographics, and traffic volume to find the perfect match for your brand.
How do I track results and measure ROI?

What is the minimum order for a campaign?
