Integrated Marketing Communications



A ’big picture’ approach: a total marketing communication strategy that recognizes how all of the firm’s marketing activities communicate with its customers other than just promotions. In terms of Akhtar Furnishers Ltd. They rely on massive advertising and sales promotion for their IMC campaigns.

 Advertising

They have TVCs and all of them portray the benefits of buying Furniture (chronological
increase of the price of Furniture in Bangladesh) and what Akhtar Furnishers Ltd. gives as
incentives for buying it from them.

They promote sales promotion on DITF (Dhaka International Trade Fair)- 2015 claiming that 15% discount on all furniture.They also claiming 10-15% on eid festive.



They also chronically continue to promote their ads on news prints and magazines, billboards.

Nowadays interactive marketing such as social network is the core of buzz marketing and Akhtar Furnishers is wellaware of it by promoting their company’s every inch of progress, awards, achievement,new promotion, new SBU, everything on their facebook page (Akhtar Furnishers facebook page.) Their chronological pull strategies are also seen here effectively.





DITF is the place for personal selling for Akhtar Furnishers Ltd. Every year they participate in that fair. They also push their sales promotions in the fair in a redefine tactic.

My opinion:

I am submerged by their marketing strategy and it justifies major integrated marketing communication tools which are impressive. They don't do marketing based on hypothetic statistics about our country they are very professional and aware of the contact points for attracting potential customers. In my opinion as they are growing more and more, in coming decades they need to emphasize more on interactive marketing. Only website and social networking page won’t
help much, they need to develop mobile apps, interactive facilities where consumers will design their own furniture that they actually like and the company will implement it. I wish the best for Akhtar Furnishers Ltd. as their tagline is to it's not just furniture, it's a lifestyle.
