The vast majority of consumers only decide in-store which brand to buy, a decision that is usually made within seconds. A market research by POPAI (Point Of Purchase Advertising International) shows that seven out of ten purchasing decisions are being made in-store. As a result, improving in-store product presence, consumer awareness and brand awareness is an absolute must in order to gain a competitive advantage. 

Adding an appealing Gift with Purchase Promotional (gwp) premium to your range of products will make your brand stand out from the crowd and target potential customers and target audience at where they make their purchase decision: the retail stores, online shopping platforms or ecommerce websites.

Here are a few tips and best practices on how to make a promotional premium campaign work for you.

4 Ideas to Creating Appealing Promotional Premiums

1) Collectibles Promotional Premiums or Gifts

Collectibles are great gift with purchase (gwp) gifts as they typically encourage more purchases to complete the collection and make their value grow. They can also be items that some people collect as a hobby. Collectibles can also stand by themselves, such as different color branded glasses. But, if you want to receive better results and ROI, you can make it so that the real value of the gifts is attained when all collectibles are found. Think about puzzles, card games or figures, the best part is, it works with customers of all ages!
