Explanation:
Hello,

This is my understanding:

With the Christmas shopping season beginning way in advance, l'ETAI was the effective way to optimise results in addition to their monitoring services and loans to be taken out through them until the end of the year.

I hope this helps.

Maybe they lend the game software and/or hardware to stores so people can experience the game in-store before they buy, for example.

Asker: What do you suppose loans have to do with anadvertising campaign??

Asker: I'm sure you are right about them lending the game out. I was being a bit blinkered and only seeing loan in the financial sense.
