DaFees Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 For the past couple of years Walmart has always done something to let the world know that the Black Friday season is near. Now I want to clarify that Walmart may have already done this something and Brad has just chosen to not report about it but I'd find that highly unlikely. That something I am referring to is the annual legal notice that Walmart sends to everyone asking them not to release their ad early. It is only 8 days until November which Walmart typically has sent their annual letter out by now. So either Walmart forgot or they stopped caring. If it is the former then as the topic title says, they dropped the ball, but if it is the latter then I wonder how soon we will see the ad,
mcwalker Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Maybe someone at Walmart finally figured out that it really wasn't making that much difference anyway and that they really don't need to pay the high fees for that outside legal firm to prepare and send the letters.
Brad Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I don't remember even getting the WM letter last year. They leaked it so soon themselves that they probably figured they didn't have to bother with them.
hack2222 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 You'd think they follow the suit of other store and let the main ad leak, then if they want to they could ad to it later.
theboyzmom Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I consider the Walmart letter like a Christmas card! It's an annual tradition that marks the season...kind of sad we haven't seen it yet only for that reason. 6
Brad Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 If it's anything like last year, the big stores are all going to leak their ads themselves in about 2 weeks, well before they leak. 5
Nate Dogg Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I agree, it doesn't feel like Christmas without Wal-Mart threatening to take legal action. That was the true meaning of Christmas. On an unrelated note... I just noticed you can "report" your own post. Made me laugh. 2

2chia Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Yeah, where is THAT legal letter ? LOL. It is sort of the BF tradition now. sort of like eating turkey on that special day.
Brad Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I did get an emailed PDF form letter today sent from WM's lawyers to all their affilates saying we can't post it until they give us the OK. I think WM themselves will post it in a week or so.
pogiporkchop Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Ah, all is now right in the BF holiday universe... (And I agree that they'll release it very soon.) 2
