RE: Advertising

By saying they are going to spend 100mm on stimulating demand definitely helped create an all or nothing perception. Reports are already comparing the entire years spending to their current cash on hand. Even though KE tempered it by saying that they would monitor demand and decrease spending if it wasn't successful enough, the initial damage was done.

Wouldn't it have been ok to say that they were stepping up their consumer awareness campaign, spending ~$15mm this q on advertising with the campaign continuing into the year if successful? He could have updated us in 3 months on the progress and future spending as the campaign progressed.

Just a thought.

Neil.
