Acquiring and training a quality store manager has always been a challenge. I don't think they arrived at the king's salary until Walmart 😉 A good manager of a strong store had a nice salary already in the 90s. The store/supermarket works not only because of the good location, but because of the skills of the manager. Sales can be big, but that person will make you profits. He manages people, and retail is primarily people, on both sides👍 #supermarket #storeoperations #retail

🚨 Walmart is making bold moves in the Chinese market! After eight years of partnership, Walmart has sold its 5.19% stake in JD.COM for a whopping $3.74 billion. This decision marks a significant shift in strategy as the retail giant now aims to conquer the Chinese market on its own. 💼 What’s Next? Walmart is doubling down on its presence in China by expanding its logistics capabilities. The plan? To open twice as many warehouses for Sam’s Club, enhancing its supply chain and retail operations across the country. This move will allow Walmart to better serve its customers while maintaining a commercial partnership with JD .com 🔍 Why Now? With the Chinese consumer market experiencing a slowdown and rivals like Alibaba and Pinduoduo intensifying the competition, Walmart is pivoting to strengthen its own operations and drive growth in a challenging environment. Despite market challenges, Walmart saw a remarkable 17.7% sales growth in China in Q2! #China #RetailStrategy #Ecommerce #Logistics #GrowthStrategy #SupplyChain Photo by AURELIEN CHATEAUDON on Unsplash

Innovation comes in all shapes and sizes. Walmart are constantly shifting their operations, building new things, testing new ideas, and countless more posts like this one below from David Guggina who is rightly celebrating another great win. But to me, the most important element to highlight is that you will notice that they always talk about their purpose and how the innovation links to it. We speak about the Golden Rule of Innovation in Retail, where all 3 things have to be achieved (or at least not diminished): 1. Deliver value to your customers 2. Deliver value to your business 3. Align it to the core business purpose That third one is often overlooked as brands seek out popular new ideas, or fancy new pieces of tech. Walmart almost always links back any post about a new 'thing' to their purpose, and it is clear from the outside how much that is brought to life internally in their culture. It's one of the core reasons they can innovate successfully and at pace. #retail #innovation #speedofchange Gareth Jude Marcella Larsen Paul Zahra Paul Greenberg

What Target should be doing, but isn't..... Great competitors in this type of environment have their sights set on taking share in a down trend such as what we have experienced. The founders of businesses such as Walmart set an ongoing precedent that you don't change your strategy, you get more aggressive and "sell" through the down trend vs. doing the turtle.....whats the turtle? What Target is currently engaged in, they back down on buying while they try to raise margins and reduce inventory by putting pressure on the suppliers to take the expense.....I'm sure we will see this reflected in their Q4 financials... ....it's an opportunity as seen by Walmart and a challenge as seen by Target, the difference between the two is a reckoning....and both won't be positive.

Do you know which company is generating the largest revenue today? It's Walmart. It's funny how a company offering the lowest prices has the highest revenue in the world today, no? Let me tell you their secret. They manipulate. "Every day low prices", drop the price low enough and the shelves will quickly clear to make room for the next lot of the products. Playing the price game is always something but it comes at a high cost. Walmart however, seems to be an exception to this rule. They've built a successful business playing the price game strategy. → Efficient supply chain management → Diverse revenue streams → Economies of scale → Customer-centric innovations All these factors contribute to Walmart's ability to maintain low prices while generating massive revenue. PS. What do you think of Walmart's strategy? Do you think any other company is following this? #marketingstrategy #walmart #marketing #business

Walmart has recently had an excellent run of growth partly powered by inflation pushing up prices and partly off the back of acquiring new customers. However, it’s clear that both these dynamics are running out of steam, so Walmart must find other avenues to boost growth. New stores is an obvious tactic as it allows Walmart to infill in areas where it under indexes on customer and market share. Given shopping habits have shifted so much over the past five or so years, there are now more of these white spaces that Walmart can grow into.   Refurbishing stores is a bid to boost the non-food business which has struggled of late. Walmart wants to replicate Target’s success by providing a better shopping experience that helps drive footfall and sales.   Compensation and stock for managers is designed to incentivize the key people to help Walmart drive better numbers through the business.   Walmart hopes that this raft of initiatives will all pull the business in the right direction and will keep the momentum going even as some favorable dynamics unwind.

Walmart is seeking to raise up to US$3.74 billion by selling its stake in e-commerce firm JD.COM. The U.S. retailer is offering 144.5 million JD.com shares at a price range of $24.85 to $25.85 per share, representing a discount of up to 11.8% to JD.com's last closing price of $28.19. According to people familiar with the matter, Morgan Stanley is the broker-dealer for the offering. This share sale marks the end of a partnership between Walmart and JD.com that started in 2016, when Walmart acquired a 5% stake in the Chinese company. Walmart later increased its holdings in JD.com to 10.8%. As Walmart's largest shareholder, the sale signals the conclusion of this strategic alliance. A Walmart representative, a JD.com representative, and a Morgan Stanley representative did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The move comes as Walmart looks to streamline its global operations and focus on its core business. The discounted share sale suggests Walmart is prioritizing a clean break from its investment in JD.com, even if it means accepting a lower price point. This transaction underscores the evolving landscape of global retail partnerships and Walmart's shifting priorities in the Chinese market. #Retail #Investment #Business #Alliance #Partnership I Bloomberg News I Amy O.
