Roadshows: The Experimental Ford Pop-Up Store Seems to be Successful - More Ford Roadshows With the Store to Come!


Sime Darby Auto Connexion (SDAC), which is the distributor of Ford in Malaysia recently had over 3,000 visitors to its first experiential Ford Pop-Up store for the Ford Ranger. The store was first introduced in July 2018 in the Klang Valley and has made its way to Penang (pic below) and then to Kota Bharu more recently.


Those who attended the Ford Pop-Up store had the chance to experience a Virtual Reality (VR) simulation where they get to discover the smart and safe driver-assist technologies that has helped the Ranger set industry benchmarks. Aside from that, the Pop-up store / roadshow had other fun-filled activities which offered the chance for participants  to walk away with exclusive Ford merchandise.

Syed Ahmad Muzri Syed Faiz, Managing Director, Sime Darby Auto Connexion said “We are extremely pleased with the public’s positive reception of our first Ford Pop-Up store. By leveraging contemporary retail marketing concepts and modern technologies like VR, we hope to continue creating unique experiences to bring the Ford brand closer to consumers while introducing our vehicles to more new-to-Ford customers in Malaysia.” 


According to a visitor, the Ford-Pop Up store was unlike the usual automotive roadshow. It was also a place where he was  able to meet other Ford enthusiasts. The store cum roadshow had various activities to not only entertain adults but was also fun for everyone in the family, even children. The visitor also mentioned that the immersive Virtual Reality experience was able to show him how the Ranger’s safety features can mitigate circumstances in a possible collision.
