Walmart Struggles To Make It’s Mark
In the year 2000, When every other company was trying to go “online”, Walmart did not think that online shopping would catch up, so they did not invest heavily in their online stores. The marketers at Walmart assumed that people would never buy clothes and items without actually looking at it in person, but they were wrong.
Walmart is currently trying to play catchup to make their mark on online shopping.
