Walmart is on top of their game this year. They have already delivered their first Cease and Desist order to one of the more popular Black Friday sites on the web. (www.blackfriday.gottadeal.com)
You can see it here.
What a bunch of cry babies! Do they not want shoppers planning on going to their store and spending money? They should realize that most people don't sit around waiting until the week OF Black Friday to look at ads and plan on what they're going to buy, and where they're going to shop. Millions of people seek the ads that have been leaked weeks in advance and plan their Black Friday way before Thanksgiving arrives.
By issuing a C&D order, Walmart is losing shoppers. Sure, some people will shop their anyway, but some REFUSE to shop there because of it. Walmart will be issuing many more C&D orders to other sites, I'm sure, and so will other stores, but ALREADY?! The ad isn't even out yet.
The funny thing is, it doesn't change the fact that the ad WILL still be seen by people ahead of their planned release date of Nov. 24th. It's still going to be leaked.
What does Walmart have to worry about anyways? Their deals mostly consist of toasters, toys and clothes. Do they really think other stores are going to "one up" them by seeing their ad and then making their own sales even better? Yeah right.
It's not a big deal to me. I'll probably still go there on Black Friday. Will you?
What do you think about them already issuing a C&D order?
