Walmart Connect Announces Partnership with TikTok, Snapchat, and more

Social commerce is a term coined a few years ago to describe a growing trend of online customers shopping on social platforms (Instagram, Facebook, etc.). The number of such customers has grown immensely during the pandemic, and the estimates say that it will increase from 10% (of all e-commerce) to 17% by 2025. It will create a vast customer base that can be reached only through social platforms. Walmart Connect wants to take advantage of this opportunity by introducing the evolution of its Partner Program strategy. The changes will be aimed at creating a robust, diverse ecosystem that will expand advertiser support and deliver access anywhere advertisers need it.
