COMPANY HISTORY

3. SITUATION – Bloomingdales need consistent advertising and marketing on the
internet to create a great overall brand image.
TASK – They can do this with YouTube video’s, Updated Facebook & Twitter,
Blogs, and an Updated Catalogue
ACTION – Utilizing funding and new associates to get these project underway
RESULT – These will increase the social media image by 20% and can be
monitored through numbers of videos watched on YouTube, number of Twitter

SITUATION. TASK. ACTION. RESULT.

4. • YouTube Channel
I see that the company loads videos but not on their own channel
because they don’t have one.
• Bloomingdale’s Blog
The company needs a blog to put all of the media in one are
• Facebook Update
Include link to Wikipedia pages and promotions/coupons on site.
• Twitter Update
Create twitters for specific department, senior management twitters,
and specific store twitters
• Catalog
Update catalog to reach specific target markets and the shelf life will last longer
