ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Chery's 100th dealership opening in a Brisbane shopping centre is a bold move that could disrupt traditional car buying habits

By locating a dealership within a shopping centre, Chery is positioning itself to capture a larger share of the market, particularly among consumers who may not have considered visiting a traditional car dealership

What it means for showroom traffic

The Indooroopilly Shopping Centre location will likely attract a high volume of foot traffic, potentially leading to increased brand awareness and sales for Chery

This strategy could also force other dealers to rethink their own retail strategies and consider non-traditional locations to remain competitive

Competitor response and market dynamics

As Chery continues to expand its presence in Australia, other Chinese brands may feel pressure to follow suit, leading to increased competition in the market

Established brands will need to respond to this new competition by adapting their marketing and sales strategies to maintain market share

Taking action

This week, dealers can start by assessing their own retail strategies and considering how they can adapt to the changing market landscape, potentially by exploring non-traditional locations or innovative marketing approaches to attract new customers
