As the most reported symptoms changed from year to year, we tried to push the products that the consumer would most want to see in the stores. Therefore, we reduced the percentage of allowances and paid more attention to release trial size. Another reason that we set 18% because we did not buy any research about promotion allowance so we made decision to set to be this percentage.
