The ASA have released a post which talks about New online training on the motoring advertising rules. I have enclosed the text of the link below, but please have a look at the ASA site as there are lots of things of interest to anyone with an interest in Ethical Marketing.
Created by the advertising experts who write the rules, this online training module provides in-depth look at the motoring section of the Advertising Codes.
Motoring and Vehicle Advertising also offers tips on how to avoid common issues such as pricing promotions and misleading claims.
What does the module cover?
