If you’re feeling the toll of ever-evolving retail channels and dwindling returns, growing data privacy requirements, and ongoing economic uncertainty, you’re not alone. Businesses of all sizes are finding solutions through Walmart Connect. The omnichannel media platform from Walmart levels the playing field for businesses helping to save time and money while driving performance in today's dynamic retail landscape. 

With over 120 million monthly visitors to Walmart’s site and app¹ and 22% eCommerce growth in FY24², there’s a significant opportunity for both established and emerging brands to grow alongside one of the fastest growing eCommerce platforms². Walmart Connect is invested in your success because when your customers win, we all win.

Here are four ways to grow your business with Walmart Connect:

1. Capitalize on mutually beneficial growth.

Building a strong brand presence with Walmart Connect goes beyond just advertising. It's about partnering with a company that prioritizes your success as much as its own. We champion emerging brands by investing through Walmart Start — a program that can fuel your online growth and Open Call — an event that offers Marketplace sellers an opportunity for a presence in-store. It's a win-win. Our goal is to help you grow your business, which in turn leads to happier customers for both you and Walmart.

• Proof? Walmart Marketplace sellers and sales witnessed double-digit growth last year:
  • During peak season, a whopping 40% of orders included items from small and mid-sized businesses on our platform³.
  • In FY24, Walmart Connect U.S. ad sales soared by 22%, with more than 50% from Marketplace sellers².

We're constantly evolving to empower your business. This year, we’re laser-focused on:

• Smarter ads backed by automated data-driven solutions that help drive precision, performance and sales, including a suite of bidding options to help achieve greater return on ad spend.

• Access to comprehensive and actionable data to better understand your customers and their buying journey. 

• New ad formats that can help you stand out from the crowd, aid in improving relevancy, and encourage customers to learn more about your products.

• A more seamless user experience that automates onboarding, making it easier to get started and manage your business on Walmart’s site and app. For example, we are integrating Walmart Seller Center — where you manage your product listings on Walmart Marketplace, and Walmart Connect Ad Center — where you manage your advertising campaigns. 

2. Reach millions of customers who are looking for products like yours.

• As the #1 retail leader⁴ and #2 eCommerce platform in the U.S.⁵, we offer:

  • An unmatched customer base: 90% of American households shop at Walmart⁶.
  • Continuous online growth: we're constantly attracting new customers across diverse demographics that are all eager to discover exciting new brands like yours.
