The Challenge
A top car manufacturer had a stock of vehicles from the outgoing model that were unregistered, but no longer in demand by the dealership network. The stock was facing a value write down when Active were called in.
Our Solution
- Active worked with the car manufacturer to develop a dealer promotion
- The manufacturer discounted the vehicles to dealerships
- Active issued Trade Credits to make up the difference between the book value and the new discounted price
- The client sold all the outstanding stock without facing a loss of value
- The Trade Credits were used to part fund TV and press activity
The Benefits
Client
- Sold stock of the outgoing model at full book value to make way for the incoming new model
Media Owner
- Received media campaign from a client who would have had to cut their budget due to the stock issue
Active International
- Generated profit from the sale of cars to the dealers and Trading of the media plan
- Deepened relationship with the car manufacturer
