In additions to TV CMs, the song was playing constantly in stores leading up to the game's release (not sure about now...?), and the game itself sold more than five times its closest competitor on the software charts in its first week. That's a lot of people who--at the very least--were exposed to "progress" and could potentially want exclusive DLC and artwork.

I'd be really interested to learn the final breakdown in FIVE's sales between the three versions.
most of the people who attend a-nation are Ayu fans, so promoting the song to the fan base which already knows about your album is more or less pointless. It's nothing compared to what AKB, arashi, EXILE or kpop acts get these days. Ayu never does variety shows now days and she barely performs on TV or does radio interviews...
