EmConMom Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 But wouldn't it in someway benefit Wal-mart(or any other retailer) to have a leak on this info? I would think it would give people a chance to save some more $ they would be willing to spend or just see a few items that would bring them to their store instead of another? Am I wrong?
cooptmm Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 You are exactly right!!!! I am getting so frustrated waiting for the BF ads to leak out.Where are the wal-mart ads at?
ChrisKsAngel Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I think you are right; however, the main reason they don't put them out sooner, in my honest opinion, is because they don't want their competors seeing what they have on sale.
Firemansgal311 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I am betting they are holding out on thier ad to keep ppl from putting the items in layaway since it is shutting down.
peachysquirt21 Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 They was not happy with the early leak last year & other stores seeing there sales so soon. This year they are doing all they can to keep it hush hush.
EmConMom Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 I didn't think of other stores seeing it, however, for the most part the other stores would have their sale items at the printer or being printed at the same time as them. It was just a thought.
amyers12345 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Wouldn't Wal-mart be smarter to leak it early, with higher prices, and then drop them at last minute? They did this last year with the black and white photocopied fliers that made it around. That way, we would know what was on the list, competitors would publish their prices to beat that, and they could go in and undercut prices with very little printing costs. This would largely increase the customer base.
abentley Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I personally plan more and spend more if I have a ad earlier. I think it helps the retailers in the long run. I am not about top try to plan everything if I wait for an ad the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I am simply too busy with Thanksgiving.
able Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 not if they want to sell something very similar for more .
mcmc Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I bet ya anything some how we have the ad by the end of the coming week.....I just think we will....on here I mean....
Adamtanderson Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I didn't think of other stores seeing it, however, for the most part the other stores would have their sale items at the printer or being printed at the same time as them.But if something is leaked out early enough they may drop their prices to compete with similar items. I wonder if stores ever leak false information.
