Daihatsu Builds Consumer Loyalty Through Community Events
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Japanese automotive brand Daihatsu is working to build consumer loyalty by organising a community event called ‘Kumpul Sahabat Serentak’, involving customers, communities, and the general public. “Through Daihatsu Kumpul Sahabat Serentak, we aim to deliver a closer, easier, and more enjoyable experience for all Daihatsu friends in Indonesia,” said Sri Agung Handayani, Marketing Director and Corporate Communications Director of PT Astra Daihatsu Motor, in an official statement in Jakarta on Sunday. Besides providing various facilities for new vehicle transactions and trade-ins, the activity is part of the company’s strategy to expand its service reach amid rising competition in the national automotive market.
