Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations / Mail order catalogue

French term or phrase: conditions préférentielles

Hello,

Does anyone know how to say "conditions préférentielles" in "real" advertisingn English in the following mail order catalogue context ? I think they mean that the customer will be offered special gifts, reductions, etc. if they order products from the catalogue, but I just don't know how to put it in English.

"Vous avez sous les yeux ce qu’il y a de meilleur sur le marché. À des conditions préférentielles, naturellement."

Thanks in advance !

Notes to answerer

Asker: As there were gifts involved, I couldn't just use "prices", so "terms" was a necessary element.

affordable prices

Explanation:
Not a direct translation but much more akin to the sort of adspeak you are looking for. Another possibilty: "at the best possible prices/at the best prices available."
