Furniture promotions
Vince McDonald, vice president, sales and marketing for Incentive Concepts, Maryland Heights, Mo., noted that the recession has actually caused a lift in sales, especially with the company's furniture promotions. Whereas in the past, end-?users may have been more interested in rewards that were nonessential and indulgent, like a cruise for example, he said that their desires are now shifting toward gifts that also have a strong practical component, such as furniture. "They're looking at upgrading things that are tangible within their lives," said McDonald. "Things that will give them real pleasure, along with real application."
