In honor of the holidays approaching, and Thanksgiving coming up on thursday, I thought I would share a blog about the importance of family and tradition and how wal-mart continues to be the leader in providing the means to continue it. In my marketing class we constantly talk about Wal-mart and its enormous presence in the USA. They are the leader in sales revenue and the leader in low prices. They are really gaining acceptance recently with their ad match guarantee. At my job, we are collecting canned and boxed foods for a family that is in need. My manager went to Wall-mart, Publix ad in hand, and they matched every bogo and price that Publix was offering. My manager spent $15 and had a trunk load of groceries for the family! How great is that?! During the holidays, family comes in from all parts of the world and what’s more important than bringing family together during the holidays? Nothing! For my family, the holidays recently have been hard. Three years ago we lost my grandfather three days after Christmas. It was very hard, and it still is at times. For us, what makes the holidays easier is being together. Before he passed family was important, but not nearly as important as it is now. We are there for eachother, especially my grandma. Now, every year we make sure that we are together during the holidays. We make sure that each and every one of us has a smile on our face, because we know that my grandpa would not be happy if we weren’t. This year, we have decided to have a turkey cook-off to keep things fun and entertaining! But sometimes, it can be expensive to make sure there is enough food and drinks in the house, especially with a family as big as mine! We always shop at Wal-mart for our thanksgiving ingredients. Without Wal-mart’s low price guarantee, some families may not be able to be together during this special time of the year. Wal-mart is a leader in low prices and a leader in keeping families together. This is seen in all of their commercials and even more in the stores when you’re shopping. I hope everyone has a great holiday season!!! Don’t eat too much turkey! If you do, it’s okay! It’s considered, to me, national cheat day! Enjoy your family; you never know how long you have with them. <3 Happy Thanksgiving!
