Holiday Shopping & Nagging? Works?

According to the Walmart survey of African American parents, at the top of their agenda is making sure that there’s room in the budget for their kids’ gifts. Some other survey findings include:

 

Kids are the priority this season with the majority of parents noting that buying gifts for their kids is more important vs. buying gifts for adults.

Nagging definitely works! Parents surveyed revealed that nagging is the most persuasive technique for kids to get whatever toy they want for Christmas.
 

Close to half of parents wait to open gifts on Christmas Day, meaning the rest give their kids a sneak on Christmas Eve.

*CLOSED* Walmart $25 Dollar Gift Card Giveaway! Celebrating Toyland Tuesday #WalmartGifts

 

The boys are very excited about Halloween this year, so much so that I just picked up their Halloween customs from Walmart. While Halloween is just around the corner, before we know it or not the Holiday's will be here! 

Walmart and Walmart.com’s broad assortment of toys and merchandise, available at everyday low prices, allows families to stay on budget while giving the most sought-after gifts of the season. This year, Walmart is making it easier than ever for parents in particular to put their kids’ wish list under their Christmas tree by expanding its layaway program and introducing “Toyland Tuesday,” a weekly rollback on select toys every Tuesday through Christmas.

Walmart is making it easier for families by: 

• Expanding its layaway program. If a customer puts a toy on layaway and Walmart rolls back the price later in the season, Walmart will honor the rolled-back price if it is in effect at the time of final payment. Walmart will also match competitor pricing during checkout for layaway products through its ad match policy.  
  
  
• Introducing “Toyland Tuesday,” a weekly rollback on select toys every Tuesday through Christmas and providing free shipping on all toys beginning on Nov. 1.
