Walmart Black Friday Ad Leaked

It seems like every year the Walmart Black Friday ad is leaked early.  I think most people believe Walmart (NYSE: WMT) leaks it themselves, but perhaps that's not the case based on the legal threats sites like GottaDeal.com (who maintains a Black Friday Sale Ads and News web page) are getting from the all-powerful Walmart telling them not to post Walmart's Black Friday ad early or else.  Walmart%20Black%20Friday%20Ad.jpg

Well, the much-awaited Walmart Black Friday ad has been leaked with big news sites like CNNMoney.com already listing Walmart's Black Friday sales items.  The result?  People are talking and Walmart is getting a lot of early publicity.  While Walmart's stock has recently gone up, the holiday season is a critical time for the company. 

Last year, Walmart waited to discount products for the holiday season until a week or so after Black Friday.  As a result, sales fell by 3% according to Tim Worstall Tabloid Edition.  This year, it looks like Walmart and other retailers are starting sales early to get the biggest bank for the buck before 2007 comes to a close.  That's probably a smart move based on the lack of consumer confidence in the market and the projected decrease in holiday spending.

Walmart already got a jump on holiday discounting with the Walmart Secret Sale Website that the company launched earlier this month.  The company is clearly looking to generate an online buzz, and it appears to be working.

What do you think of Walmart's indirect PR campaign this holiday season?

Time for a whole lot of spending is fast approaching. People from America always makes it a point to go out for shopping every Black Friday as a tradition. The holidays are underway, and I’m glad fast payday loans are available in case of unexpected events. Everyone’s preparing for the special occasion and holiday shopping is the main focus. Black Friday has become a part of our family-holiday tradition. We wake up early; grab a latte at a local coffee stand, and head out to join the huge mob of holiday shoppers. However, this year will be a little bit different. We still plan on doing our annual shopping ritual, but we’ll probably skip the latte and enjoy a cup of homemade coffee instead. Plus, instead of spending our money at luxurious department stores, we plan to stretch our budget at far as possible and shop at decent places like Wal-Mart. There’s no denying that our budgets are much tighter this year. Nonetheless, we are still taking part in Black Friday because, like I said earlier, that trip is part of our holiday tradition. Although we may not be able to afford many of the things our hearts desire, we are approaching this season with a different attitude. This occasion is an opportunity to spend quality time as a family and make the best of what we are able to manage. I hope everybody takes the time to read this article, which has really shed the light on the true purpose of the holidays. Every smart shopper has a budget and a plan. Smart shoppers are also aware that fast payday loans are not designed for gifts, but for emergency situations only. I’m sure I won’t go overboard this year, but just in case, I know fast payday loans are there to help cover unforeseen financial mishaps.
