On today’s podcast episode, we discuss whether Walmart and Target were ever truly competing on the same promise of mass retail, or whether they were solving different consumer needs all along. We also explore the differences in their loyalty program strategies and consider whether their recent success has been driven more by business models or by execution. Listen to the discussion with Vice President of Content and host Suzy Davidkhanian, Principal Analyst Sky Canaves, and Analyst Rachel Wolff.
