Walmart is stepping up to try and get your business this holiday season by offering an upgraded price-matching policy for the 2011 Holiday Season.
Here’s the announcement from the Associated Press:
Wal-Mart ups ante in holiday price matching
Associate Press By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO – AP Retail Writer | AP – 6 HRS AGO NEW YORK (AP) — Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, is announcing a new holiday price-matching strategy that aims to pull in procrastinators early by giving them a big incentive: a guarantee they’ll get the lowest prices no matter when they buy during the season.
The Bentonville, Ark., discounter said Monday it will be matching prices on all its products — even after purchases are made. Shoppers who bought a product — whether on its website or in its stores — from Nov. 1 to Dec. 25 but then find the identical product for less at another rival later will receive a gift card for the price difference.
The price guarantee comes as Wal-Mart aims to solidify its position as the low-price leader and should raise the stakes for the holiday 2011 season.
So….. what this means is this:
1. Purchases must be made from Nov 1- Dec 25th
2. You must bring in the competitor ad AND your receipt to receive the Price Match Difference
3. Black Friday and Internet Prices are Excluded
4. Items on Layaway are Eligible
Finally, they are also offering these additional incentives as announced by CnnMoney site!
Wal-Mart has also announced a number of other shopping incentives this season including layaway on purchases over $15, free shipping on most Walmart.com products, no interest on Wal-Mart credit card purchases if they are paid for in full within six months, and a 10-cent discount on each gallon of gas bought at participating Murphy USA or Wal-Mart stations.
So with these incentives, is Walmart more likely to get your business this holiday season? We are curious on your thoughts!
