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 chose the $10 dollar gift card because then I would know that I would use it for something that I needed. Also, with coupons I may not use the item, or anyone else I know might not use it either, which means the coupons would go to waste. I also chose the gift card because you could use it anywhere, there would be no limits. For example, if you got a grocery coupon you would have to use it at a grocery store, or other food stores. The gift card you could use at a gas station, clothing store, dollar stores(to save even more), internet retailer websites(amazon, etc.), the options would be endless, which means a freebie for everyone!

    I like to try products I haven't used before, where as with $10 I would buy something I need.

    Actually, it depends on what the free products are. If they're something I really want to try, that would be my choice. But ten bucks you can spend anywhere on anything you like.

    10 dollars may not be able to buy all the 'free' products

    I love trying NEW products and being in the know is great! Always the coupons! With $10 chances are you will spend above and beyond that but with the coupons it's FREE!

    The 4-5 coupons for free product could easily exceed $10 in value. So, it depends on the planned used for the reward. If it is for the family as a whole, then 4-5 free products is a much better value to me than $10. However, if I were planning to spend the $10 on myself as a personal reward then I would prefer the $10 so that I could go to the craft store or something fun like that.

    4-5 free product probably adds up to more than $10...and you get to try things you may not have tried.
