Walmart Marketplace Sellers Summit 2024 I like to go to all of the sessions and take a few days to think about the things that rise to the top in my brain. 1. Walmart is committed to growing and PARTNERING with #walmartsellers. (Partnering is the key differentiator here). I still have people that call or email and want me to tell them how to get marketplace to go away. This ?? is ??not ??going to happen. Listen to quarterly earnings for the last few years. Listen to shareholders meeting. Listen anytime Walmart leadership discusses the eCom business from Doug McMillon down…they mention marketplace EVERYTIME. Why? Because they can expand assortment PROFITABLY. #letsgrow isn’t just a hashtag, friends. 2. They are listening to their sellers and rolling out all kinds of levers to help them grow. This includes expanding across countries, more WFS capabilities, more Walmart Connect options, Seller Center enhancements, and more verticals (automotive, premium beauty, collectibles) 3. Not a theme, but this summit was HUGE. It was the best Expo, general session, breakout content that I have been to in a long time! ??MB FREE ADVICE?? If you don’t have a plan, you should be working on one ASAP as to how to grow your business and use ALL fulfillment channels available to you. Don’t just scroll by this.

Has anyone else noticed a disconnect? ?? I'm not seeing the reported increases in Walmart's revenue as a Walmart Marketplace seller. Is anyone else in my network seeing the same? Rick Watson highlighted some impressive stats from Walmart’s Q1 FY2025 earnings (his reporting): ?? Comparable store sales up 3.8% ?? Consolidated operating income grew 12.9% ?? eCommerce growth of 22% Yet, my personal experience doesn't reflect these numbers. Key takeaways from Walmart’s performance: ?? One-third of operating income improvement came from new businesses: ads, membership, data (#Walmart+ Membership grew double-digit) ?? 40% reduction in #eCommerce losses, driven by fulfillment improvements and ad revenue ?? Marketplace saw 36% more sellers y/y, with 28% using Walmart fulfillment services ?? 50% of Walmart advertiser growth came from Marketplace sellers Despite these overall gains, my sales as a Marketplace seller haven't mirrored the reported increases. Are other Marketplace sellers experiencing the same trends? Rick Watson’s full analysis provides a detailed breakdown of Walmart’s strategies and performance. Worth a read! ??

Interesting article on how Walmart reinvented itself during the pandemic to now emerge as almost unbeatable force in retail. Walmart's transformation during the pandemic has solidified its reputation as a fashion and tech-savvy retailer among diverse economic groups. The company has adapted to inflationary pressures by focusing on value, appealing to skeptical consumers seeking affordable options rather than just brand names. A new Walmart persona emerged in January 2024, showcasing confidence in its retail leadership through participation in major industry events and discussions on AI and customer experience. Walmart's retail ecosystem now includes marketplaces, advertising, and AI, contributing to incremental revenue and customer satisfaction, with a business model that supports profit growth outpacing revenue growth. In a contrasting move to other retailers, Walmart announced wage increases while competitors like Macy's faced layoffs, reflecting its strong market position. Walmart's stock performance has significantly outpaced the S&P 500, with shares rising 44% year-to-date, indicating robust investor confidence. The retailer is successfully attracting upper-income customers, expanding its marketplace offerings, and increasing sales in its Dollar Shop initiative. Walmart is investing over $9 billion to modernize stores, enhancing the shopping experience with improved layouts and increased in-store services. The company is focused on creating a seamless omnichannel experience, integrating online and in-store shopping to exceed customer expectations. Walmart+ membership is growing, providing various benefits and contributing to increased revenue, while the company is leveraging AI to enhance product discovery and inventory management. Walmart is positioning itself as a fashion destination, offering affordable high-fashion items, which could elevate its market capitalization significantly. #walmart #retail #reinvent #leadership

Grocery delivery DGAF about your bad economy. In fact, it’s up 18% in June, YoY. According to a Mercatus grocery survey. (Link in comments.) While total digital grocery was up 8%… E-com and store pickup accounted for little of it. Most of it was carried by ?? Delivery. Why? The power players in delivery are pushing hard. Walmart is the king of 1st Party delivery. Instacart owns 3rd Party delivery (74%). Target, WF, and Kroger aren’t far behind. Almost all drove massive promotions in June. They are literally driving the market. How do you ride this wave? 1. Get serious about Instacart. -> Use all ad placements, ie display & vid. -> Optimize for search (title, image, etc.) -> Segment campaigns & bid manually. -> Give it the effort you give Amazon. 2. Leverage your Retail Media platforms. -> This is your portal to retailer-specific delivery. -> Whole Foods Ads, Costco Media, etc. -> SEO for the platform where you can. There are going to be bad economies. But there are always good strategies. ——— ?? We increase velocity in Whole Foods, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Kroger, Sam's, COSTCO, and lots of other cool retailers. ?? We grow brands on Amazon. #cpg #cpggrowth #retailgrowth #retailvelocity #omnichannel #retail #amazonagency #retailmedia #shoppermarketing #instacart

This week, I had the absolute pleasure of attending the 2nd Annual Walmart Seller Summit in the beautiful San Francisco, CA. ??A massive shoutout to the visionary leaders at Walmart who shared some mind-blowing strategic insights—laying out the roadmap for the future of eCommerce! ?? To Walmart and all the incredible sellers I met and learned from, it was a true pleasure. And what a celebration to cap off the conference! Here are a few sneak peeks Walmart showcased to get us all prepped and pumped: 1?? Walmart's online marketplace is on fire! We’re talking sustained 30% growth each of the past few quarters. 2?? "Walmart Cross Border" is now open for all, using Full Container Loads (FTL) from the three major Chinese ports: Shenzhen, Shanghai, or Ningbo. 3?? My personal favorite—No Peak Q4 holiday storage fees for sellers if goods arrive by Sept. 30th. So, pack 'em up and ship 'em out! 4?? Walmart unveiled their new multichannel fulfillment—think Shopify, but with Walmart’s super-fast shipping speed, using non-branded boxes. 5?? And don’t miss the new "Deals Dashboard" in Seller Center! Easily enroll in ongoing deals or holiday specials like Black Friday. These are just a few of the highlights I’m buzzing about, but trust me, there was a treasure trove of information to digest. That's a wrap on the Walmart Seller Summit, and I can't wait to do it all over again next year. Walmart.com is definitely on the rise! ?? If you attended and we didn’t get a chance to connect, let's set up a call! Or, if you just want to swap stories from the summit (like getting Rick Rolled on the dance floor!), I’m all ears.
