Wal-Mart Prepares for an Early Christmas


Yesterday, October 31, 2007 (also Halloween) Wal-Mart announced that it will start offering the most popular holiday gifts three weeks prior to "Black Friday." The bargain shopping begins today when Wal-Mart unveils secret shopping specials on its website that will be available Friday, November 2. Five of the most desired holiday gifts will be featured with special prices. Wal-Mart also aims to be one of the first retailers to offer extraordinary bargains far before Thanksgiving, when most retailers start the major Christmas sales and offers. Customers can sign-up to be alerted by e-mails or text messages. Wal-Mart is doing this because it is aware of how popular online comparison shopping has become. This technology integration with bargain shopping is new for the store and its customers.
