comeback Explanation: Although somewhat informal, 'comeback' might work here. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2006-02-03 10:01:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0517/p12s02-legn.html Spelling makes a comeback Mrs. Guerra offers daily spelling instruction, a sign of the subject's comeback after several decades of neglect. While schools still vary greatly in their approaches to spelling, a growing emphasis on basic skills in US classrooms has prompted more teachers to return to explicit spelling instruction - instead of simply assuming that it's a skill that kids will pick up as they go along. |

due for a boost Explanation: Ordinarly I'd say 'comeback' or 'revival', but I agree that they don't seem to fit here. As the person seems to be complaining about a lack of ongoing support for the promotion campaign, I'd suggest 'due for a boost'. |
