Based on the above premises, we ask for originality, not only in the offered symbolic details but also in their description.

Give them something in return, a discount, a unique symbolic detail, exclusive, limited, etc. Do not offer a symbolic detail for €15 if you are going to sell it for €12 at the end of the campaign.
