Maximize your e-commerce sales potential with Walmart and Amazon. Walmart's website is growing at a rate of 16%, making up 6.3% of all e-commerce transactions, with no monthly subscription fees to sell. The new WFS program allows for easy order fulfillment, while cheaper storage fees during Q4 and less competition than Amazon make it an attractive option. However, Amazon spends over $100 billion on marketing which benefits third-party sellers as well, accounting for two-thirds of all sales made on the platform. Consider creating your own website in addition to selling on both platforms for maximum exposure and profit potential.
