Giveaways

If you give away some items or do freebies, how to record that?

Free items still represent a cost to your business.

How vendors record giveaways

  • Remove the item from inventory.
  • Record the cost as a marketing or promotional expense.
  • Do not count it as revenue.

Why tracking matters

It prevents overstating profit and helps you understand the true cost of promotions.
