Will call back
Audi
Not something in our strategy. Have decided to go to Goodwood.
BMW
We’ve spent our available marketing budget at the o2 – partnering the venue for 3 years to 5m people.
Caterham
We’re too busy. We had a record month last month so too much going on – not necessary. Will probably end up at Autosport show.
Chrysler
Looked at 2006 show and we feel with our range of cars we can take the investment and talk to a broader customer base in the UK rather than concentrate on the London postcode.
Daihatsu
Nothing new to show. Plus budget constraints.
Fiat
Cost and benefit reason. Not in marketing schedule of events. Doesn’t meet our requirements.
Lamborghini
Will call back later today
Maserati
It’s organised by centrally by Maserati SpA. We sell 700 cars. We haven’t taken part in the British Motor Show for quite a long time. Normally only take part in shows like Geneva.
Mitsubishi
No plans at this stage.
Porsche
Will call back
Rolls Royce
Focussing on other events. Launching new phantom coupe in next couple of weeks in France.
Skoda
Budget restrictions. Had to make some hard choices and decided to go with other marketing efforts and advertising.
VW
We didn’t go to the last one and felt our resources would be better used in other areas – into improving out products and giving our customers the best value.
Volvo
It’s extremely expensive. We can do the same thing for less cost at other shows around the country. Felt this year it didn’t work for us.
