This week’s discussion board discusses the integrated marketing communication (IMC) strategy. I will be honest; it took me a bit to understand what IMC was about. In essence, a company uses different channels for marketing its brand, either online or offline (Doorley & Garcia, 2020). The company I will use as an example is Leaf Shave. Leaf Shave is a shaving company whose unique attribute is that it is eco-friendly. They use 100% recycled material in their products and no plastic. The razors and blades are metal (Leaf Shave, n.d.) There are a few ways that they implement IMC online. The social media channels that Leaf Shave uses are Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter. Potential customers can also sign up for emails to receive deals and other promotional information. Each social media channel hyperlinks to a Linkpop link, a hub of essential links that customers can use to know more about Leaf Shave. One thing the company does effectively is that they answer all the questions that consumers have and have a friendly demeanor when replying to negative comments. On Instagram, they have giveaways and inform their followers to visit the link they have in their bio to learn more about the company. They also promote to customers that they may get good deals if they subscribe to their emails. The way they interconnect their Instagram followers to different channels can help build the company’s brand (BBRChannel, 2012). They also have many TikTok videos that go viral, which benefits the company. There are a few things that Leaf Shave could improve on with its IMC. The first thing they could do is promote its Twitter profile since it has the least followers of all the social media pages they use. They can do this by adding it to the company’s Linkpop page and recommending their Twitter page to its other followers. The other thing they can do is have all channels interconnected rather than just a few. References About our razors . Leaf Shave.
