’Tis the Season for 20,000 Rollbacks, Free
Shipping, 24-Hour Cyber Event and Savings Catcher with a Holiday
Twist
Dear Santa's elves, it’s time to start saving. Walmart is
unwrapping its first round of 2014 holiday offerings, including the
low prices it's known for and its broadest assortment ever on the
items customers need for gift-giving, decorating, family gatherings
and every occasion in between.
On Nov. 1, the retailer will offer more than 20,000 Rollbacks on
items including groceries and popular brands such as Disney
“Frozen," Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Samsung, and Dell. Just two
days later, Walmart is bringing back its popular 24-hour holiday
cyber savings event. All season long, customers can take advantage
of free shipping on millions of items* from Walmart.com.
“Helping families deliver an amazing Christmas doesn’t start on
Black Friday, it starts now,” said Duncan Mac Naughton, chief
merchandising officer, Walmart U.S. “As soon as they put away their
Halloween costumes, our customers start prepping for Thanksgiving,
buying Christmas trees and shopping for gifts. They want the best
deals now and we’re here for them today, next week and throughout
the season. Our strategy is simple: lead with low prices, offer the
best brands, make shopping easier than ever and bring the holiday
joy that only Walmart can deliver.”
Walmart has expanded its digital shelves to include 7 million
items – one million more than last holiday season. Deals typically
reserved for Black Friday and Cyber Monday start on Walmart.com
shortly after midnight Pacific Time on Monday, Nov. 3. They
include:
- Sony 48” LED HDTV for $348, was
$448
- Nintendo 2DS Handheld Video Game System
for $79, was $129
- Barbie Dreamhouse for $120, was $148.82
and
- Nextbook 7.85” tablet with 8GB memory
for $49, was $99
The retailer will also offer hundreds of weekly online specials
on electronics, apparel, home and toys. Same-day pickup in Walmart
stores is available while supplies last at no additional charge. In
addition, free shipping to customers' homes is available for orders
totaling $50 or more. Customers can also choose free shipping to
Walmart’s more than 4,300 stores.*
“We are taking care of our customers today and all season long
no matter how they shop – whether in our stores, online or on their
mobile devices,” said Fernando Madeira, president and chief
executive officer, Walmart.com U.S. “More than 65 percent of
Walmart customers have smartphones and they look to us to provide a
flexible shopping experience when, how and where they want.”
Saving Catcher Expansion and New Mobile Feature
Timed for Thanksgiving meal planning, Walmart is expanding
Savings Catcher to bring even more savings to the kitchen.
Beginning Nov. 2, holiday turkey and ham will be eligible for
Savings Catcher, giving families confidence that they're getting a
great price on these holiday meal essentials.**
In addition, Walmart has rolled out another new feature within
its mobile app. With “Search My Store,” customers can search for
nearly any item carried in a Walmart store and see the item’s
availability at that store, its aisle location, ratings and
reviews.
“Search My Store” is currently available on Android devices and
expands to iPhones by mid-November.
Holiday Inspiration and Convenience
Walmart is also offering new tools and resources to help
customers shop the season, including:
- Wish List: Starting Nov. 7,
children and parents can build a Toy Wish List for Santa by adding
their favorite toys directly from Walmart’s digital Toy Book. Wish
lists can be shared on Facebook and in email with friends and
family.
- Holiday Hub: New this year,
Walmart is sharing how-to videos, product demos, seasonal recipes
and other tips across multiple platforms where customers seek
holiday inspiration, including Pinterest, YouTube and
Walmart.com.
- Layaway: Customers taking
advantage of Walmart’s holiday layaway with no opening fee can
stretch dollars further by paying at their own pace through Dec.
15.
- Ad Match: Walmart’s great prices
are backed by its Ad Match Guarantee. Stores will match the price
of any local competitor’s printed ad for an identical
product.***
