Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations / Company Website
Spanish term or phrase: Confección (de regalos promocionales)
This is from the website of a company that designs, manufactures and promotes stands for trade fairs.

I'm struggling to find a punchy way of rendering "confección de" here — "production of" and "preparation of" just seem flat to me.

Any ideas?

CONTEXT:

"Promoción comercial

Para garantizar el éxito de su stand, nos implicamos en la promoción y difusión de la feria o evento. Asimismo, nos ocupamos de preparar todo el material promocional (invitaciones, catálogos, flyers, etc.) necesario para atraer la mayor cantidad de clientes potenciales a su stand.
Promoción previa y durante el evento:

* Asesoramiento del canal de promoción (telemarketing, mailing, etc.)
* Preparación y revisión de bases de datos
* Actividad de promoción (contacto telefónico, envío de newsletters, etc.)

Elaboración del material para el evento:

* Asesoramiento con respecto al material publicitario
* Diseño gráfico (fichas de producto, flyers, displays, etc.)
* Confección de regalos promocionales"

Many thanks in advance.

selection of giveaway promotional items


Explanation:
Una posibilidad. Me parece poco probable que los regalitos se "confeccionen" por la misma empresa.

Asker: Thanks, Marian — I loved this when I saw it first; but unfortunately, this particular configuration just wouldn't fit into the scheme of things...

Preparation /preparing


Explanation:
After these you can use "putting together" (if the gifts have several components)...
I even occasionally use "Elaboration/elaborating" (produce from basic elements or sources; change into a more developed product) ... although it may sound a bit stiff...

I reckon Marian's idea is best - do without the verb.
