Why is this retailer want people with small children to enter their doors? Simple, because a young family is worth 5 X’s the profit of other families. But be careful. Walmart is smarter than most of their shoppers. Learn about their “Opening Price Point” strategy. This is from a PBS/Frontline website based on the PBS movie Is Wal-Mart Good for America”.
This is an interview with Jon Lehman who worked for Wal-Mart for 17 years, managing six stores in four different states before he left the company in 2001 to work for a union trying to organize Wal-Mart employees. In this interview, he recounts how he became disillusioned with the company’s focus on profit, and why he feels that the current management has strayed from the principles of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton. Lehman also describes how Wal-Mart developed its efficient supply chain, how Wal-Mart’s buyers negotiate with manufacturers to drive down costs, and when he first noticed Wal-Mart’s importing low-cost goods from China. This transcript is drawn from two interviews with Lehman, conducted on June 4 and Oct. 7, 2004.

From this interview:
… What is the opening price point? Why is it so key to Wal-Mart’s strategy?
OK, it’s lawn-and-garden time. Your grass is getting high. Your lawn mower is broken from last year, or you need a new lawn mower. You’re going to go to Wal-Mart. So you go to Wal-Mart, and you’re looking for a lawn mower, and to your delight, you walk in, and you see this $99 lawn mower. You may not want a cheap, basic lawn mower, but you see that price point on an end cap or a big display stack base, and you say, “Wow, what a great price.” And it draws you in. It lures you into the department, and you form the perception immediately that “Hey, Wal-Mart’s got the lowest prices in town. Look at this item right here. How could they sell it for $99?” …
But as you walk into the department and look for that $269 power-drive lawn mower that you really are after, they’re not losing money on that item. And it may not be the lowest price in town. Wal-Mart used to advertise “Always the low price.” They don’t do that anymore.
Because?
They got in trouble. Some of the other competitors sued them, tried to go after them and say, “You can’t say ‘Always the low price,’ because you’re not always the low price.” They did a study — a very critical study, very thorough study — and found that Wal-Mart was not always the low price. And Target and Kmart got a little miffed, and some other competitors that [said], “How can Wal-Mart advertise this and it’s not true?”
So what you’re saying is Wal-Mart, when it says, “Always low prices,” it’s not always the lowest price on every lawn mower or every microwave oven or every vacuum cleaner or every TV set.
Absolutely not.
So what does the opening price point mean?
The opening price point is … to get you in. You look at that, and you think, “Wow, what a great price.” …
And usually, more times than not, those items are imports. They’re not domestically made; they’re from other countries.
Why?
Well, the price of labor is so cheap. In China, Malaysia, Bangladesh, you can make stuff for a fraction of the cost that you can domestically, so that price is the rock-bottom price.
So are you saying that the opening price is the lowest price and actually will beat the competition, but maybe other items in the same category aren’t necessarily the lowest price?
Oh, absolutely not. It’s just like fishing: You want to entice that fish to that lure. … Once you walk past that opening price point, they’ve got you, because you’ve already formed the perception that everything in that department is the lowest price in town.
And maybe it’s not.
No, it’s not. No, I can tell you it’s not. I can tell you from experience it’s not. …
To view the whole interview:
I have found the prices on baby products to be comparable to other stores. The new deal with pampers is buy any size box of diapers and a 5 or 6 pack of pampers refill wipes and receive a $15 gift card. This basically pays for the wipes (including tax);)
Don’t forget, Walmart will price match. I check the fliers and bring them to Walmart to price match.……
Also, in regards to the promo. I saw it advertised and it is a new one, beginning Feb 1 and going until April.
Is it just me or does it look like the McDonalds golden arches were somehow snuck into this picture by Walmart?
jennitilly, good observation lol
So you really have to check your prices. You can’t assume that Wal-Mart is the cheapest. Good to know.
until the 29th, wipes are 9.99 at walmart!

Wal-Mart is not the first store to use these kinds of tactics. Personally, I don’t see why people dislike Wal-Mart for being exceptionally smart about business. True, they shouldn’t say that they always have the lowest price because they don’t always. But people shouldn’t just assume that they always have the lowest price just because they say so. You should always, always, compare prices.
Also, this sounds like a good deal. It’s great that you can get $15 free for buying stuff that you already buy. Personally, I buy Huggies and I get them from Costco, but for anyone that buys Pampers, it’s a great deal.
The problem with Walmart is that they justify cutting costs at the expense of the greater good of society. This company has presured our jobs to pull up stakes and move to where slave labour wages are paid. These third world countries have questionable labour records and often employ men, women and children.
Walmart wants us to just see ourselves as consumers.
The truth is we are citizens, not just consumers.
Walmart in my opinion doesn’t give a darn about Canada or Canadians other than getting our loonies.
