Walmart is a Junk cheep store
I don’t know about the other questions, but they’re information gathering is state of the art. They have systems that other corporate sellers have copied.
The systems automatically calculate absolutely everything, what sells, where it sells, how much the profit is, what colors sell, etc, etc… and information gathering is the key to selling.
Also, they will have a nice microwave for a ridiculous low price in the walkway so when people go look at the microwave they actually want, they assume it’s the low price or a good deal, and that’s ususally not the case.
By replying I dont mean I like the store….but at least here in UK, I would rather go to ASDA since TESCO…is just so bored …as they have the monopoly of almost eveything there are no enough options to choose…
If u go to a ASDA you can find more BRANDS…and that is the least I can do…I miss so much going to any super market store in Mexico…there we do find options…
Wal mart is superb in marketing strategy, employs safeguard as safety net in roder to ensure highest quality of products and services, yet, gives a wide range of different products to choose, value for money, etc., makes the wal mart an edge over the other.
First for myself, I cannot generalyse here.
First the size of floor, meaning about everything you can find is there,,or close..
Not really the low prices,,but some are good,, we have to be carefull about that.
Because it’s big, the marchandise having a very large turn over., always new stuff., from about all over the world possibly. VARIETY, QUANTITY, not very much quality..
So, we dont loose time, first we go there to check to find,and than, we can go to an other store if we cannot.
What I like fromthem is also, fact they are trying to buy stuff from the city whre the store is located..wich is great..
They hire a lot of people, making economy turning in the same city…
They are training or directing their employees in matter to give a best service as possible.. (not always the case but Wal Mart themself., we see the effort they put in to reach their goal., giving the best services.
Because the store is very large, people with handicap scooter as myself,, i am able to go around easely and free., I do enjoy going only to see stuff and look all over as divertisment..week end often..spending lot ofo time just to look, compare.
The choice of stuff is great often ,,geee kids are priveledge there,,lot of choice…
What I like as well is the hight., the sealing is high,and the air circulate much better,,,we dont bread the same air of other had breath before…often other store,, this is smelling sooo stuffy. this way more air mean more aeration, less allergy..because i am super allergic to : died, dark clothes etc.. toys., color and lot of things..tires etc. sooo the sealing high is better for me.
Often many cashiers..working and we have to wait something but at least they are having lot of cashiers and all turning around fast.. and having a cash area for handicap and people for less stuff..
Often having as well food there, just like a McDo inside and seat when we are tired to sit a bit….accomodation as you see.
they are even selling food, sooo accomadation, when we need something as food., we dont have to go again to an other store.,generally its just there at our finger tip.
What I like less.. is the area when we bring back stuff, thisis too tight,,tooo small, this is not very well organise..for handicap..
The wall mart is large, and lot of people, and most of the time, the toilets are clean, very clean..this is very strange..how many small stores toilet area sooo durty..unbeleavable…wal mart checking that close too..i like it..thisis not discusting when we enter in toilet area.
I want to mention something here,, offensed me sooo much, it;s happened on tv if I am right at Radio Canada tv in Quebec canada..a journalist was talking again Wal Mart and showing muslam kids in one of those Easter Country and saying: you see Wal Mart making those kids working for peanuts…and we were seeing a young little girl sit at one store whre people were sewing clothes…she was there, just sit and plying clothes very slowly and watching the journalist camera,,,and she was there,, and this dam journalist was telling us..again Wal Mart..( I dont have any contact with Wal Mart at all) but I have been there,,,,at the place whre this little girl was working,, and you know why she was sit there and plying closthes., because the employer might have been his father or friends, or might have been stranger too,, but this little girl was waiting for food..when your working in those countries your getting free good…SOOO I WAS SOOO MAD TO HEAR THIS STUPID JOURNALIST SAYING THINGS THAT HE DOESNT KNOW ABOUT…
This girl was just waiting for food geee,,when I hearded him saying that on tv .,I started to cry ., i was crying like a kid myself.,because I know how those people dont eat everyday and this little girl found a way to get a bit of food or trying to get a bit of food..YES I SENT TO THIS STUPID JOURNALIST MY WAY OF THINKING AND MY KNOWLEDGE.. DONT BELEAVE WHAT JOURNALIST SAYING ABOUT ANYONE,, BEFORE YOU GET THE ANSWER BY YOURSELF..
HERE I TAKE THIS OPPORTINITY TO THANKS WAL MART TO GIVE WORK AND FOOD TO THOSE PEOPLE IN NEED IN THOSE MUSLAM COUNTRY AS SLRI LINKA, PAKISTAN AND OTHER SIMILAR COUNTRY…THANKS GOD somepeople having hart..
I just asked this journalist in Quebec, how much money he got from Syndicated organisation to make Trouble to Wal Mart..
yes Mr. Lepine,, how much money the syndicates in Quebec would give you to say such things again wal mart because they dont want crap of syndicate to make trouble in their business.CONTINUT TO FIGHT FOR ALL OF US WAL MART…us we appreciate..
Marketing is the difference. They were first to use computers for merchandise to automatically stock shelves, without the use of a person having to notice goods were needed. They expanded into many towns and cities carefully.
They still use the smaller vendor for business, as this way, they can squeeze lower costs every quarter or so out of them. If they decline, they are rejected, and since Walmart most likely represents 80% of their business, they are soon out of business.
