KUALA LUMPUR, 3 November 2017 - Sime Darby Property is once again chosen by Malaysian consumers as the nation’s preferred and leading property development brand, bringing home a Gold award at the Putra Brand Awards 2017.

Sime Darby Property has won the Gold award for 8 consecutive years since its inception in 2010, signifying consumers’ trust in the developer’s brand, products and services.

Sime Darby Property Managing Director Dato’ Sri Amrin Awaluddin said, “We thank the Malaysian consumers for the trust in our brand and for choosing us as the most preferred property development brand in Malaysia for the eighth consecutive year. We will continue to offer the best to our consumers, to remain as the people’s choice.”

Sime Darby Property is in touch with the needs of its customers by being highly engaged with the needs and demands of its customers, to fulfil their needs as well as provide exceptional customer service. The company aims to be a developer of communities, neighbourhoods and homes with great emotional attachment as customers value brands that go beyond their product offerings.

Enhancing the customer journey is key to improving its brand value, while optimising its product offerings and variety. Customer insights and understanding are gained through consumer research, while the measurement of good customer service practices are carried out via customer satisfaction indexes and evaluations by independent accreditation bodies.

“Sime Darby Property’s digitalization efforts have changed how we position and enhance our brand image and value, product offerings and customer’s experience. Through digital assets such as our website, customer portal, mobile app and social media platforms, we are able to understand market demand and needs with the help of listening tools and analytics, as well as provide a seamless, value-added and engaging customer experience which in turn, increase our brand equity and value” Amrin added.
