Walmart Is Bringing Free Samples to More Than 1,000 Stores
Free samples at your favorite grocery store make shopping nicer. Walmart plans to introduce that bonus to many US locations in the coming months
Walmart has been testing product sample demo stations at select stores since April. In a June press release, the chain said 120 outlets
were offering weekend samples. By January 2024, the retailer will add demo stations to over 1,000 stores nationwide.
By January, 1,000 of Walmart's 4,700 US stores will have demo stations. These stations will accept advertising. QR codes on the tables will reveal
online buying possibilities and other useful information. Sample stations provide suppliers publicity and give customers more chances to try new products
When launching a new product or maintaining an always-on presence for key items, these demos offer suppliers a huge chance to drive
discovery and conversion. "Customers have said these demo weekends feel like customer appreciation events," the business added.
