    No promotion / comp sways me to buy a product. The 2 for 1 entry promo's are always too far away and of no interest. Money off pet food coupons are nice to occasionally get.

    Mostly they are for things I'm not the slightest bit interested in, eg like theme parks as mentioned previously 
    Ditto.  Many are family-oriented and since we never had children, nothing there for me.  I might occasionally see a competition that makes me consider Brand A over Brand B  but only if all other things are equal.  The one that is on special offer is a much bigger factor.   
    You don't need children to be able to have fun in a theme park  ;)
    True, but even when I did have children we didn't go to theme parks. They didn't miss out, they went on a few organised trips and found all the queueing up for a 3 minute ride a complete waste of time. Far more fun, rock climbing, caving, swimming in the sea sleeping wild in the woods etc!
