Advertising... WHY?

Hi all, I was wondering why JLR are still advertising on the telly when they haven't got anything to sell? It does not compute in my mind and I'd have thought a total waste of money, for a company which is up the creak without a paddle.

In fact I'd go as far as to say it's doing more damage than good...

JLR have not ceased trading and people will still be placing orders even if they have to wait longer for delivery. Also the advertising will have been paid for upfront and is non refundable. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Dealers have stock globally, so unless your after something specific, new cars are available.

I'm still seeing deals from Marshals on moving existing stock.

How long stock will last I'm not sure but typically 3 to 6 months factory capacity are built up to cover new model changeovers so I doubt they're going to run out of cars any time soon.

The problem appears to be ordering new, and it's mainly the orders to suppliers feeding the factories, not the actual factory assemby being the problem from what I'm hearing.

From what I gathered they do have stock, but they are unable to assign it to dealers.. Also as almost everything is made to order, now a days, isn't the acres of cars sitting around already spoken for? Even if they can't allocate them due to digital difficulties.

I'd have thought that if it's a case of paid up front for the advertising, I'd be doing my very best to put it all on hold.. Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!
