But don't think small sided. This company is poised for super human growth in the"supposed worst times in economic history since 1929" and that is documented over and over and over by byouts, takeovers and soforth. If there is anything, (company) I will put money into now, it is this one. Think about it, what company has multiplied, propspered and still gained market share all along??? No Blue chip I know of. My pick? Duh.. You are right Kristin, the Superbowl ad was not productive in the sense of expense vs. return in immediate return. But don’t think small sided.

The company had a large scale launch objective and the ad generated brand awareness that was valued many times over the capital outlay.

They have replied quickly and with wrong terminology, which only means some sort of panic and something to hide. Surely they will have to go for it now they have attention. Sooner is better specially if Expedia is going to muscle in the market. Their shares without competitors and with a competitor on their tail will have very different value. Good to see some sparkle in 2010! They are going for an IPO big time.

As both a travel industry marketing veteran and a owner of a rental property listed on HomeAway among several vacation rental sites I really wondered why they would spend the dollars for a single shot at the Super Bowl. So many marketing case studies have shown that its been a waste of money from a marketing perspective. But if the objective is an IPO it makes a lot more business sense.
