Why we care. It’s Walmart and the ability for any seller to set up an ad account and take advantage of the company’s huge consumer base is a great tool, especially for the holiday season. Also, it’ll be interesting to see how the platform differentiates from Amazon, what its market share is and how many advertisers use one or both platforms. Competition drives innovation!
