BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- (Business Wire)
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.***
