Walmart and their Key Competitive Retailers
Its Purpose is to collect data that is analyzed and used to educate and inspire Walmart in
the strategic development of their future Holiday Promotions.
The audit includes key product attributes and trend comparisons to identify opportunities in
Walmarts current holiday promotions.
