Khulna hawker gets new car after buying Marcel fridge

Economic Reporter: A door-to-door salesman of vegetables in Khulna got a brand-new car after buying a Marcel brand refrigerator and registering it under the ongoing ‘Eid Mega Digital Campaign’. Iqramul Sarder, the hawker, is the second lucky customer who received new car after Roksana Khatun, a housewife in Meherpur, earlier this month.

According to sources, Iqramul bought a 12.5 cft Marcel refrigerator from Rana Electronics at Batiaghata on August 16 which cost only 24,500 BDT. His joys and happiness knew no bound when he was informed about having a new car.

The car was handed over to Iqramul on Sunday, (August 19, 2018). Khulna District Council Chairman Sheikh Haroon-ur Rashid handed over the key to him. The car handing ceremony was attended, among others, by Marcel Senior Assistant Director Milton Ahmed, Area Manager Firozer Rahman and Proprietor of Rana Electronics Md Masud Rana.



Iqramul, a resident of Zoyar village in Rupsha of Khulna, have five members in his family, mother, wife, a six-year son and a one-year daughter. He works hard to meet the daily needs of the family with very low income. However, he decided to buy a refrigerator with little savings over few years and at last his long-cherished dream of having a cooling appliance came true. In addition, he was fortunate enough to get a new car what he never dreamt of.

Thanking Marcel for conducting such kind of campaign, a grateful Iqramul, while receiving the car, said: Some of my relatives earlier bought Marcel refrigerators and are having excellent service for which I also wished to buy one. Besides, while selling vegetables, I saw many billboards and banners in front of Marcel showrooms stating that there is possibility of having new car along with other products by purchasing Marcel brand refrigerator, television and air conditioner. I then finalized my decision and went to buy the refrigerator from Marcel to try my luck. Luckily, I got the car which will help continuing treatment of my old mother and studies of my children.



Marcel officials said, they have been conducting nationwide ‘Eid Mega Digital Campaign’ from July 2, 2018 on the occasion of upcoming Eid-ul-Azha or Qurbani Eid. Under the campaign, a customer of Marcel fridge, TV or AC may get a brand new car, fridge, TV or AC at free or sure cash back just by registering their purchased item through sending SMS from their mobile phone.
