ASA clarifies ad alert confusion

The Ad Alert is now being distributed to car dealers, creating an impression that they should not place advertising with SA Auto Mart.

The ASA has clarified, in a statement issued to the press, as follows:

"It is true that Alli Cat Publishing has failed to co-operate with the ASA.

As a result, ASA members may not accept advertising from this company.
The ASA does not have the authority to request people not to place advertising with Alli Cat.

Dealers receiving the ASA Ad Alert may therefore disregard it."
