Motorola joins the Zoom vending machine club
Motorolais joining the Zoom club as the first mobile device manufacturer to offer its products to consumers via robotic retail stores vending machines.
These robotic stores will be branded “INSTANTMOTO”, and are expected to be deployed in approximately 20 locations nationwide from airports to malls by November 2006. The stores will house more than 25 Motorola products including carrier-ready MOTORAZR handsets, Bluetooth headsets, cordless phones, car chargers and more. Currently these vending systems are in the San Francisco International Airport and Macy’s on State Street, in addition to more locations across the country.
Motorola is testing this new automated vending format as a way to directly connect with consumers in places and at times where convenience is needed most. Now tell me, when do you all of a sudden just need a cellphone?
