We know that Wal-Mart is already the most dominant retailer on the planet. So, competitors get particularly upset when they believe that Wal-Mart is involved with unfair trade practices. A case in point is Wal-Mart’s recent use of price comparison ads.
As reported by Ann Zimmerman and Shelly Banjo for the Wall Street Journal: “An aggressive Wal-Mart advertising campaign that claims better prices than specific, named competitors has rankled rivals, which have complained to attorneys general in more than half a dozen states. The targeted retailers, including Toys “R” Us, Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond, and several regional supermarket chains, claim Wal-Mart cites inaccurate prices and compares differing products, such as laptop computers with separate specifications. Wal-Mart defends the ads, begun last year, as accurate. ‘We know competitors don’t like it when we tell customers to compare prices and see for themselves,’ Wal-Mart spokesman Steven Restivo said. ‘We are confident on the legal, ethical, and methodological standards associated with our price comparison ads.'”
