Grasping consumer demand in a profound manner, GWM will improve satisfaction among global users through innovation in category and marketing. According to Parker Shi, Vice President of GWM, the brand plans to invest more resources in activities, such as fan carnivals, shopping festivals for cars, and sports games-based marketing, along with a deeper dive into markets of different categories with dozens of vehicles of its five major sub-brands, namely HAVAL, TANK, PICKUP, WEY, and ORA. In doing so, GWM hopes to add to its attraction to more potential users.
At the event, the representative from GWM Thailand shared the branch's local experience in successful operations. Through a unique operating model that combines the Online to Offline measure for information inquiry and on-site experience, together with a Door to Door service, it facilitates users' car purchase process. This new ecological path of the branch has become a model for GWM's successful operation in overseas markets.
Bolstered by advanced technologies, GWM will pace up in overseas expansion in an all-around way, promoting its products, technologies, services, and others along the full industrial chains to be launched in overseas markets. As the brand builds up a global influence, it will fulfill the demand of global users together with its distributors worldwide.
