    Walmart · Multiple engagements

    Walmart growth, across brands.

    Selected results from recent Walmart engagements — from a marketplace launch that scaled to $14M, to a mattress vendor moving from DSV to 1P owned and earning an in-store test. Different starting points, same operator playbook.

    Marketplace launch

    Mid-market home goods manufacturer (anonymized)

    Situation

    A mid-market home goods manufacturer wanted to diversify beyond Amazon and DTC. Walmart Marketplace was the strategic channel — but the internal team had no marketplace playbook, limited bandwidth, and no experience with Walmart's seller ecosystem.

    What we did

    1. 01

      Designed the full Walmart launch plan: catalog prioritization, content optimized for Walmart search, and a Walmart Connect ad strategy built around margin targets.

    2. 02

      Built operational processes for inventory, returns, and seller scorecard management — then embedded weekly coaching with the in-house team for two quarters.

    3. 03

      Scaled the catalog from a focused launch SKU set to full assortment over 12 months, layering Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) selectively to optimize margin.

    The internal team now runs the channel independently with the playbook we built — Walmart is a durable growth engine, not a side experiment.

    eCom wholesale · DSV → 1P → in-store

    Mattress vendor (anonymized)

    Situation

    A mattress vendor was selling on Walmart.com through drop-ship vendor (DSV) only. Digital growth had plateaued, item pages weren't converting, and the brand had no path into 1P owned inventory or physical store distribution — the two moves that unlock real scale with Walmart.

    What we did

    1. 01

      Ran a full Walmart.com audit — content, search visibility, review velocity, and item setup — then rebuilt the digital shelf to hit Walmart's conversion and content quality thresholds.

    2. 02

      Made the internal case to Walmart merchants for 1P owned transition: modeled sell-through, in-stock reliability, and margin impact, and negotiated the move from DSV to 1P on the hero assortment.

    3. 03

      Used the strengthened digital performance and 1P sell-through story to earn a Walmart in-store test as a vendor — bridging the brand from marketplace-only to omnichannel Walmart partner.

    Results

    DSV → 1P

    Owned inventory transition

    Hero assortment

    In-store test

    Earned as a Walmart vendor

    Physical distribution unlocked

    Digital lift

    Content, search, and conversion rebuilt

    Foundation for the merchant case

    Winning on Walmart.com wasn't the end goal — it was the proof point that unlocked 1P and, ultimately, shelf space. Digital performance became the lever for the full Walmart relationship.
