    When department store cosmetic companies offer a “free gift with purchase,” isn’t the cost of those free items built into the pricing of all of their products? Like, if there was never a free gift deal, the regular prices would be a little lower?

    The cost of promotions is built into the profit margins of any given brand. So yes, the company could sell the product for less, stop advertising/promoting, and still make the same amount of money. (Assuming of course that sales didn’t drop off when the promotions stopped.)

    I’m sure the gifts with purchase increase their sales or they wouldn’t be doing it. Thanksk for answering.
