[QUOTE="Returntosender, post: 2779454, member: 29240"] Walmart Corporate wants to increase foot traffic in the stores. Every store has a electronic device that counts number of people who enter the store. If the discounted instore pickup is successful? Foot traffic will increase. You have to keep in the mind the instore pick up is located in the back of the store at layaway. A customer has to walk half the length of the store to pick the item/s. Along the customer path, Walmart will offer in store promotions. This was before my time, when Walmart had flash sales a red or blue light would be turned on and that entire rack/ shelf would be a special price. Walmart may be attempting to restart that flash sale program. If Walmart is successful in getting a online/instore pickup customer to purchase additional instore item's not purchase online this marketing works for them. I never did work at Walmart. I have friends who work at retail, they reveal some of the retail sales tricks. They all saying management is attempting to get more foot traffic in the store. Especially the big physical super center stores. [/QUOTE]
