Walmart has launched a limited-time New-Seller Savings promotion for Walmart Marketplace. Sellers who join by May 31 and start selling on Walmart.com by June 30 will receive a 50 percent discount on commission rates for the first 90 days.
The merchant has also extended its Walmart Fulfillment Services Intro Offer incentive for those sellers that also want to take advantage of its fulfillment option.
Approved sellers that enroll in WFS and complete the setup process and inbound one item to the company’s fulfillment center by June 30, earn 90 days of free storage and a 10 percent discount on fulfillment fees, according to the retailer.
Selling on Walmart.com gains suppliers access to millions of monthly visitors. The retailer added that Walmart Marketplace offers zero monthly setup fees, and sellers can grow their business with Walmart using an ecosystem of solutions like Walmart Fulfillment Services and Walmart Connect.
According to the company, many sellers who use WFS to fulfill their items are seeing on average 50 percent gross merchandise value growth for those items. And products that arrive in a Walmart box and are categorized as “fulfilled by Walmart,” build credibility with customers and further drive trust and transparency. If a customer has any issues with an item, they have access to Walmart Customer Care or can return the item at their local Walmart store.
Walmart Connect, the U.S. arm of the merchant’s global advertising business, offers sellers a way to highlight their brand in front of Walmart customers with deals for new Marketplace sellers, offers for new WFS sellers, and brand advantages.
