Walmart decides to raise Prices on E-commerce

In times of expansion and development of sales through e-commerce, Walmart decided to fight with the reality and adopt a new strategy in the United States: raise prices of some products on the site and, at the same time, maintain lower prices in physical stores, stimulating the consumer buying in stores. Almost a domestic competition. Shot in the foot.
The information is from The Wall Street Journal. In addition, the site will give warnings that some products will be cheaper in the physical store.
The decision is not out only the reality of the market, but also of the reality itself of Walmart. Last Thursday (16), the network released the numbers of your third trimester, in which your recipe had an increase of 50% compared to last year, thanks to e-commerce platform, with the purchase and partnership with various startups.
For now, there is no information about the use of the strategy in Brazil.
