Gift With Purchase Ideas

Why offer a gift with purchase?

Gift with purchase (GWP) is a great marketing tool for expanding your business.  Free marketing gifts for customers are a core competence for the ODM creative team.   We work with brands around the world to design and manufacture unique gifts with purchases to entice new and old customers to buy more of your product.  Below we review 50+ great examples from around the world.

Done well, GWP promotions jump from the shelves. When used in conjunction with POS displays and in-store advertising they really bring the message home that consumers are buying something worthwhile, and that the brand running this campaign is giving you something extra for free.  Therefore by using promotional products you can also create urgency by having limited production runs.

Here are some of the benefits of providing a complimentary gifts with purchase:

  • Instantly attracts customer attention
  • More likely to trigger an impulse buy
  • Bespoke design that enhances remembrance of / attraction to the brand
  • Giveaway Product that is not only a gift but also useful, it becomes a perfect free gift product to the customer
  • Something that compliments your existing product will improve the overall customer experience

We have done a collection of gift-with-purchase projects with Ted Baker. From Color pencils to soap brushes, a promotional gift-with-purchase idea is not limited to creativity. As a well established fashion company, it is important that they find a GWP idea that complements their brand. It helps add value to the brand, without exceptionally altering the core product.

In ODM, we are dedicated to think in the best interest of your brand, and to help find the best suited gift with purchase marketing strategy for your customers.
If you are interested in tailoring a gift idea personalized for your brand, contact us or provide us a detailed quotation of your future project.

Good to know for Gift with Purchase:

It should be noted that there is a difference between GWP Vs.  Giveaways.  You need to buy a product or service in order to get the promotional product when using a GWP mechanism.  Giveaways are often used as street promotions usually given out by brand ambassadors, hostesses, mascots. However, having recently been on a bike tour and having bought a service, the organiser surprised us with branded water bottles, shoe bags and towels. It was unexpected yet it did not influence my decision to buy the tour. I think this situation qualifies as a give-away and a GWP. Given the higher value of this unexpected gift, it had far more impact than it would have otherwise had, and therefore this is an excellent way of Marketing Gifts.

Many of our clients also ask us what they should opt for.  Which would you choose when given the choice of GWP Vs. PWP?  It’s a tough one. We certainly love a good free gift, but a Purchase with Purchase promotion is an excellent way for marketing managers to maximise budgets.  If done well they pay for themselves and you can do a much higher-quality promotional product.  Done well, we certainly push clients to consider PWP very strongly. That being said, for on-pack promotions you are creating a bundle for a gift and this option does not work as efficiently.   With PWP promotions, the main risk arises when clients might not choose the item, so therefore it is important to focus on product design.  All in all, you need to know your customers and what makes them tick.  Finally, create a buzz by promoting a limited production series to minimise the chance of being caught with leftover stock. This also creates an incentive for the consumer to buy the product during a limited period/series run.

What does GWP stand for?

GWP is the acronym for Gift with Purchase

What’s a Gift with Purchase?

It’s a promotional technique used by companies to build a deep relationship with customers. They offer a product for free or a discounted item upon the purchase of one or other products. For example buy 3 get one for free, spend 40$ and get a free gift.

What is the difference between Gift with Purchase and On-Pack Promotion?

An On-Pack Promotion is a subset of Gift with Purchase. However, a Gift with Purchase may not necessarily be packed together with the product you are selling. It can be given away at the counter by the staff once the customer has bought the item.

What the perfect gift for a GWP promotion?

It depends on your industry but always keep in mind to offer something useful for your consumers. A gift that will make your consumers happy and allows you to create with them a deep relationship. You can choose to offer a complimentary gift. For example, if you sell beer, you can offer a branded beer glass!
