In this case I think it's more simple than that: someone I know has done design consultancy work with Walmart, and told me that every new product they've pursued was something that had been in the news a few days before they brought it up.
- xivzgrev 7y agoWalmart used to be the innovator / leader. Now it just seems they are chasing trends. There doesn’t seem to be a coherent digital / tech strategy (at least on the consumer facing side). Walmarts core is poor, rural/suburban America. How can wal-mart use tech to make their lives better? Same day home delivery is an obvious one, say every $X you spend in store you get a free same day home delivery credit. That would be nice / appreciated by folks struggling to get by. Target, at least, seems to be doing its own thing vs constantly copying amazon/tech X, and I respect them for that.

It's the go-to for the huge array of products between Costco & the grocery store for a wide set socioeconomic segments. If it's a supercentre they get lots of the grocery dollars too. They give you free shipping on everything, including big, bulky items like diapers. I think this is more important for lower income folks than same day delivery.
