of the organization's organizer Sam Walton's thought. This statement is inseparable from the
organization's trademark "save money, Live better" which is because of the strategic decision in
the business showed for the mission statement. In light of the trademark, Wal-Store's strategy of
business includes price as the primary offering point to draw in customers. The significance of
this strategy is introduced in Wal-Store's numerous systems (Ferguson, 2019).
The 4Ps of the organization include price by limiting the offering price to diminish the
opposition in the market (Ferguson, 2017).
4Ps utilized in Wal-Store's marketing strategy
Price: Wal-Shop utilizes a strategy know as Everyday Low Price (EDLP), the notices are
normally found in their stores, the motivation behind this pricing strategy is to draw in an
enormous number of customers to the stores, this strategy also upholds the organization's unique
business strategy and statement, the organization has low-cost price labels, in any case, the
benefits are created through huge deal volumes, not exorbitant costs, therefore, the price
component in Wal-Shop's marketing strategy assumes the primary part in the market contest.
Promotion (Marketing Communication): The promotional strategy of Wal-Store is made out of
offer promotions. Personal selling. Advertising a lot, The sales promotions occur within the
stores where exceptional arrangements and limits are shown, though, personal selling also occur
at Wal-Shop stores where salespersons are accessible to convince customers to attempt another
item or show them unique offers, according to advertising, the organization utilizes official

As a Mining Engineer who plans to set up a granite quarry and a crushing plant for the
production of aggregate stones and targeting the evolving real estate industry in Lagos, Nigeria.
This first week has offered me the opportunity to understand why business owners and
companies must invest in marketing strategy to have a competitive advantage over their
competitors. Customers go after products and companies which they have a clear positive
perception of through their brand image portrayed to them. I kept asking myself “Why do
companies change their marketing strategy midway to the introduction of new products or
services to the market?” Initially, my take is to have the market as a business owner or a
company is no big deal if the business owner can afford to fund the company’s operations but
reading the materials was clearer than it is beyond money but requires a detailed strategic plan to
compete in the market.
