As a gift from a company, which would you prefer?

Companies offer a lot of incentives to get us to pay attention to their products and buy their brands.  If you had a choice, would you prefer a $10 gift card or coupons for free products? 

And, as always, let us know why!

4-5 coupons for free products from brand name manufacturers (52.4%)

$10 gift card to spend anywhere (47.6%)

    The coupons would be cool but how would we know if we would like or use every product. While the $10 we could spend on what we want.

    free products are always fun to try - even if it's something I personally wouldn't use, I pass them along to friends or family that do. A $10 gc is OK but when it's gone, will I remember the company that gave it to me? probably not.

    Coupons always seem better, like I'm leaving the store with a steal. $10 doesn't go as far as you really want it to sometimes.

    You can use $10 on anything...very useful...however, I would most likely not be using it to buy the things that they were offering in the free coupons. Giving free coupons is a great way to ensure that people are trying YOUR product, not using the money elsewhere.

    I think if they gave the $10 it would want or interest us to go out and shop and just remember that gift cards and coupons are one of same depending on what it is

    I think that the $10gift card gives you more options to use it on what you may need.
