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 like the coupons for products. I love trying new products but have been disappointed enough that often times, I won't buy them without a recommendation from a friend. The coupons allow me to try products without parting with hard earned money.

    I would definately prefer the coupons for free products because then I will try products I normally would not have purchased. This is a great way to try new products without the possibility of being disapointed or ripped off in the process. Free products also show me a company believes their product is high enough quality that I will be so satisfied and impressed I will return to purchase more.

    $10 does not go as far as getting 4 or 5 products free and it's always nice to try new things.

    gift cards are more useful to me. coupons are most likely to get lost in black hole that exist in my handbag.

    coupons for free things would be more valuable to me and my family, and it would also be pretty cool to try new products out for free.

    The free products would be a greater value.. but if it is products I got to choose... cool.. but otherwise I would take the 10.00 giftcard.
