She also revealed that last year the company actually had spent about RMB 500 million on advertising.
The cut-down will first being with ads on portals and vertical sites and outdoor ads at bus stops and metro stations. According to Wang, the effect of the previous marketing input will still last for some time, thus the retreat won’t affect its traffic for now.
