Walmart's New Savings Catcher App

By Dawood Sajid


Considered to be one of the most commonsense applications ever created, one that has people scratching their heads as to why it was never created before, an application that offers the best price guarantee through their Savings Catcher program. This is actually an application that can be used on both android and Apple phones which was released in 2014.



In today's world, having an app for your store will put you above everyone else. If you notice that your competition has an app, you will need one too. This is what happened with Walmart. Target has an app and now Walmart needs one. The public was expecting it and will be happy with it. It will help people save money a little easier and in return might choose to shop there over other places.

The Savings Catcher app compares prices with printed ads issued by competitors. This is a good way to compare current discounts but the app will not compare prices if a product is sold by a competitor who did not mark it down. If a cheaper price is found for the same product in a printed ad from a local competitor, the customer will obtain the price difference through the Savings Catcher program.

This could be used for a number of different applications including serving up ads that are related to what people really want to purchase. This is also in the same venue as those that use retargeting advertising which looks at the browsing history of a person online, and delivers ads based upon the last products that they actually viewed.

They also will have a section for pharmacy which is really handy. A lot of people go there to fill prescriptions and having that on the app will make it a lot easier for them. People are looking for easy when it comes to things like that. Within the app will be photos of products which will help draw people to the stores. Sometimes if someone can see an item, they will be more likely to buy it. The app will be a wonderful thing for Walmart and its customers.

Although this application seems to be very simple, no one has ever done this before. Hopefully this will help Wal-Mart provide consumers with better options, higher discounts, as they begin to track exactly what it is that you purchase, and when you purchase it, so that you can get even more savings by shopping with this company.
