"Bundling" Definition: Sometimes companies bundle products together in order to promote a new product or to encourage consumers to try a complementary product such as a free small conditioner bundled with a shampoo purchase, or a free disposable razor with a shaving cream purchase. A company may also offer a bonus pack or a special pack with 20 percent more in order to encourage a customer to purchase a product.
"Giveaways" Definition: Another strategy used by companies is that of special promotional items to be given away. These may be hats or T-shirts advertising the company or brand. For example, many times credit card companies will offer T-shirts if you sign up for a new credit card, or a beer company may be giving away pint glasses to customers who purchase that brand of beer on certain nights. Alcoholic beverage companies often hire young men and women who will go to concerts, bars, and clubs and promote their products by giving away promotional items.
