When placing an off-the-page ad for one of your products, make
sure it’s in stock. IWantOneOfThose learned the
lesson the hard way when just one complaint about its advert in
the Radio Times led the ad to be banned by the
Advertising Standards Authority. Due to a failure to estimate
demand for the promotion, the ASA upheld the complaint and judged
that the ad breached the CAP Code. It was banned from appearing
again and IWantOneofThose has been ordered to ensure it has
“reasonable estimate of the likely response to promotions
in future”.
