Profit Margin: A freebie can eat into your profit margins. So, it’s crucial to weigh the cost of the gift against the anticipated return.
Perceived Value: The gift’s perceived value should match what customers need to spend to get it. If the gift seems cheap, it might look like a marketing trick and turn people off from buying. On the other hand, when the gift has a high value, it can make your brand look better and more high-quality (Low & Lichtenstein, 1993). Find the sweet spot that resonates with your customer base.
Stock Management: Running out of your gift stock can be a recipe for customer disappointment. So ensure you have enough stock to meet the expected demand.
