Besides ayu sang Last minute only on TV and its less promo friendly than Zutto (I think she just could choose between the two and she chose Last minute).
The fact that she sang it once on December on TV doesn't mean she has a better promotion for the album nor it made the single sell better than previous year. Since ayu has no TV performances for the album+ TV performances at least on the 5 last years never help (or helped ayu or kuu) sell better. It didn't translate to sales.
Also this was no for a competition for who has more promo, it was to empasize that both don't really promote much like in the past and they barely get tie-ins and endrosements (ayu even less since last year).
You can't say kuu has less promo than ayu since it's not true and it seems that they are at a point where they get the same promo and do mostly the same stuff.
And The Gift gives her exposure to ayu outside of Japan, not in Japan itself just for the record.
I'm sure that her sales in Japan won't increase because people will start to have interest in a singer that is popular in Taiwan or other chinese speaking countries.
They don't do things to increase sales/maybe they don't have much to do in order to do so, but they do stuff because they want to do music and perforn and to keep their fans up. They are no namie present state anymore (and yet they are more active than her).

Whoa. I've seen pictures and have heard things from people but that wasn't my point. I didn't mean to make it a competition. I just meant to praise Ayu and her team as they are doing things right at the moment and making good choices at the moment imo.
