Seller Success Formula:
Grow
Now that you’ve learned the basics in Seller Success Formula: Launch, it’s time to accelerate your growth. Sam Walton, Walmart’s founder, believed: “There is only one boss: the customer.” After more than 60 prosperous years, that sentiment is still our north star.
Now, it’s your turn. Learn how to gain customer trust and earn loyalty with the right tools and programs by your side. Speed up sales and fast-track success without compromising customer-first values.
Step 1. Stock your catalog strategically
You’ve listed your catalog, so now it’s time to fine-tune it by stocking strategically. As mentioned in Seller Success Formula: Launch, start with the Assortment Growth dashboard. There you can see each item’s status, find and fill the gaps in your assortment, and stock Customer Favorites.
Next, level up by maintaining your inventory and satisfying demand.
Go to your catalog dashboard
Stay ahead! Visit the dashboard to ensure your inventory is up to date. See each item’s status, restock on time, and keep up with customer orders.

Pro tip! Get working capital to stock hot-ticket items
Capital funding offers quick and flexible financing, so you can stock up on Customer Favorites. Choose the option best suited to your needs and use the funds to add in-demand items to your catalog.
Step 2. Perfect the art of everyday low prices
Customers come to Walmart expecting variety and everyday low prices. Even if your catalog is full of popular items, you won’t see optimal success unless you price strategically.
In Seller Success Formula: Launch, you learned the importance of visiting your pricing insights dashboard to stay informed. In addition to leveraging your metrics, we recommended you use Repricer, our automated pricing tool. Repricer helps you win the Buy Box and compete with prices outside of Walmart.com. Both of these powerful solutions are a great starting point.
But how do you achieve next-level competitive pricing? One way is to offer limited-time promotions to elevate sales and stay ahead of the game.
Stand out with promotional pricing
Capture the attention of shoppers looking for deals by creating limited-time strikethrough promotions. Simply choose the discount you want to apply, add a target budget, and select the duration of your promo. Not only will you make price-conscious shoppers happy, but you’ll also help drive traffic and boost sales. It’s a win-win!
Step 3. Optimize your logistics
In the modern eCommerce landscape, customers expect you to deliver their items at lightning speed with accuracy. And we have the tools to help you succeed at both.
Whether you outsource your end-to-end fulfillment to WFS or do it all yourself, count on our best-in-class shipping and logistic solutions tailored to help your business accelerate growth—across all of your eCommerce sales channels.

Step 4. Grow your customer base
With assortment, pricing, and delivery dialed in, it’s time to maximize your reach with reviews and advertisements.
Ratings and reviews build trust and unlock organic growth. Having plenty of ratings and reviews is the key to discoverability while paid advertisements help you connect with a larger motivated audience to expand your exposure.
Combine these two powerhouse solutions to supercharge your search rank and conversion!
Curate authentic reviews to appeal to new shoppers
Review syndication
If you’ve previously sold items and received lots of reviews, why start from scratch? Instead, import your existing reviews to Walmart.com from other sites and help your business excel.
Review Accelerator
If you’ve added new items to your catalog, Review Accelerator can help you incentivize customers to write an honest review of your new products after their purchase.
Step 5. Visibility & exposure
Now that you’ve taken action to help your products be at their best, there’s even more you can do to show them off. Drive extra traffic to your listings thanks to valuable performance data or invest in paid advertising. Whether your goal is to increase discoverability among Walmart shoppers or expand your audience across the internet, you have options.
