Eu diria "pacotes especiais com materiais de marketing" se na dúvida, pois é mais vago.

The CARE Package was the original unit of aid distributed by the humanitarian organization CARE (Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere).

English term (edited):
"care packages"
brindes
É certo que o conceito normal de "care package" é um presente (pacote) que se manda a alguém a quem se quer oferecer uma atenção especial. Por exemplo, um militar estacionado em um posto longínquo, provavelmente perigoso. Tende a conter comestíveis, roupas e outros ítens que seriam apreciados por aquela pessoa em particular.
Mas aqui o uso é figurativo (e por isto está entre aspas). O texto está querendo dar uma nova roupagem ao conceito de brinde (para clientes), aproveitando o fato de que, com tantos militares destacados para missões no exterior, o conceito está sempre em evidência no noticiário americano. Tal sutileza (ou abuso) fica perdida na tradução, razão porque é melhor ser claro e usar brinde, que é o termo usado em português.

However, "care packages" is in quotation marks, i.e., is being used in a different context (other than an army or relief-purposes context).
