SALES executives of Thompson Motors (Port Shepstone and Shelly Beach) showed customers and offered advice on three of their car models at the Southcoast Mall last weekend.
On display were the Datsun panel van, the Nissan NP300-double cab bakkie and the Nissan NP200 ICE bakkie.
One prospective buyer, Bandile Vilakazi, said that displaying vehicles at the mall was an excellent idea for customers to check out what’s new at Thompson Motors.
“I usually hate the car-buying process and my previous experiences in dealerships has left me feeling anxious,” explained Mr Vilakazi.
But it was while he was shopping at the mall that a personal vehicle-shopping service came to his attention with the Thompson Motors display.
“The display was certainly a helpful tool.
It provided a quick, hassle-free consultation on finding a car suited to my budget.”
Thompson Motors sales executive, Danny O’ Dea, said it was a nice opportunity to display their cars, interact with people and generate enthusiasm for the brand and what it stood for.

“Foot traffic is a valuable currency for anyone interested in making retail sales today, but if you’re in the business of selling large items such as cars, one of the most helpful new ways may be collaborating with a mall or other well-trafficked location.”
