livres compensatoires (ou de compensation)


Explanation:
The expression "comp" means compensatory. The way it is used, for example, - if you work on a Saturday, then you can have a "comp" day off (instead of being paid overtime).

======

In your marketing context, it means "freebies" that the customer gets in exchange for doing something else, i.e. if they sell 1000 bottles of champagne, they get 100 free. The free 100 bottles are entered in teh "comp books".
