Motorola products include mobile phones, tablets, Bluetooth
headsets, two way radios, home phones, baby monitors, cable modems
and gateways, home digital video, remote access
software, motoactv, phone software and accessories.
Motorola offers a lot of products but most are overlooked and ignored
because the company tends to focus on one area or product more than
others.
The company focuses to much on its wireless devices and
does not put out enough information on other products offered.
5. GOALS & OVER-ARCHING THEME
The main focus of this digital marketing strategy will be to better the
company’s brand recognition and to increase the knowledge about the
company and its products that are offered. This seems to be one of the major
things that the company is missing, product awareness!
Strategies to increase product awareness
Provide more organized information about products and offers on the social
medias that the company has such as
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Foursquare and the company’s blog.
Hire an individual or group to help manage the social sites and keep them
updated with Motorola news, products, deals, offers, pictures, etc.
Look into an app for the company that will make it easy and convenient for
consumers to find information, news, products and help from their mobile devices.
6. SOCIAL MEDIA
This is one of the areas that the company is doing excellent in
already . Motorola has
Twitter, LinkedIn, foursquare, Facebook, a blog and a YouTube
channel and links interlinking them together on the different
sites.
The company is also very good about posting and updating
and maintain the sites. Some companies have different social
media outlets to market and reach out to their customers but
rarely interact or post on these outlets also Motorola does a
great job with interacting with the customers and incorporating
games, contest and giveaways into the social media’s so this
already sets the company apart from some others.

This is an appropriate age group and target market because of the
wide variety of product offerings from Motorola and even more
appropriate being in the age of technology we are in where kids are
having cell phones and mobile devices younger and younger.
10. EVALUATING SUCCESS

years.
Within all the social media’s that the company is apart of, have room
where costumers and people can leave feedback, ideas, comments
and concerns. Implement this into the mobile app as well.
Implement an easy but efficient way to compare and see the
knowledge and sales of all the products offered compared to the
knowledge and sales of them before. This way the company will be
able to see f product awareness and sales have increased.
