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%)

    i love getting free samples and gift cards for trying new products. it gives me a chance to try and something new and tell everyone i know about the products. i belong to alot of clubs and i am involved in community activities so i know alot of people, it i tell them i tried something new and its good, they will listen and try it

    Coupons for free products is a better choice for me. I get to either try or new product or buy a product I am already familiar with for free. Plus, $10 is ok, but doesnt really go very far. Sure, I can make it stretch for about 2 or 3 visits to CVS, but free products is always a better option. Ummm.......$10 with free coupons, OMG, even better!!

    the free stuff because $10.00 doesnt get you hardley anything worthwhile

    I think the $10 could be used on things I would actually use where some of the coupons might be thrown away.

    I think the coupons would add up to more then 10 dollars. Plus I love coupons!!!!

    The 4 or 5 products might contain something I don't use. I can always use an extra $10.00!

    I love using the coupons, it sometimes let me try things that I normally wouldn't buy

    I would prefer to try something for free, than spend $10.00 on usual stuff.

    I would much rather try new products than spend $10 on something I have already tried.
