Walmart’s Amazon Prime Competitor Will Launch in July
According to a Recode article, Walmart will launch its Amazon Prime competitor later this month, titled Walmart+. The program will cost $98 a year and include perk such as same-day delivery of groceries as well as general merchandise, discounts on gas at Walmart’s fuel stations, and access to product deals early.
According to the above article, “Walmart also has plans to add video entertainment components to the program, though the details of this remain unclear. This week, Walmart is unveiling an online family entertainment program called CAMP by Walmart, in partnership with the retail startup CAMP and the online video technology firm Eko. This video content, featuring celebrities like Neil Patrick Harris, Drew Barrymore, and LeBron James, will be free to all Walmart app users this summer. But the program could point to a future where similar programming is gated off for Walmart+ members. Walmart has also considered partnering with big media companies on video content perks.”
