Walmart know that customers have plenty of options to online shop – in fact, 73% of customers prefer shopping through multiple channels. Their goal is to make Walmart the place they turn to first. And just as they want Walmart to be the first choice for customers, they want to be the top choice for all sellers – from small businesses to major brands with a New-Seller Savings package for new US sellers rolled out this new year.
Walmart are already one of the fastest growing marketplaces in the US. In their last quarterly earnings report they revealed that Marketplace SKU inventory had increased by 50% to 370 million SKUs, and growing daily.

To give new sellers an extra boost the Walmart New-Seller Savings offer is packed with incentives and benefits to support new sellers based in the US as they launch on Walmart Marketplace.
