Amazon continues to be the major player in ecommerce, but Walmart is certainly giving them a run for their money as Walmart.com starts taking an increasing share of the growing ecommerce industry. Selling on Walmart.com can be a great way to grow your sales, but it is not as simple (or as widely known) how to get started on Walmart. To create clarity on how to get started and grow your Walmart account, I am excited to bring on Corey Hammond from DotCom Partners. Corey is a former Category Specialist at Walmart, and has a unique first hand insight into what works at Walmart.com.
