Effective Walmart advertising is not just about launching campaigns.

Your ads depend on the products you promote, the quality of your listings, your targeting strategy, your creative, your budget allocation, and the customer experience after the click.

BIE brings advertising together with broader marketplace services so campaign decisions can be made with the product and Walmart storefront experience in mind.

CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT

Launching a Walmart advertising campaign is only the beginning. Performance needs to be monitored regularly so budgets, products, targeting, bids, and campaign structures can be adjusted as the account develops.

02

Product & Campaign Selection

We identify the eligible products and campaign types that align with your advertising objectives, including Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Videos, and display opportunities.

ADVERTISING WORKS BEST WITH A STRONG PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

Your Walmart Ads Are Only Part of the Customer Journey

Advertising can bring shoppers to your products, but the product page still needs to communicate accurate product information clearly.

That is why Walmart Connect Advertising should be considered alongside your broader Walmart marketplace presence.

Walmart Listing Optimization

Listing readiness should be reviewed before increasing paid traffic, particularly when product information, inventory, price, Buy Box status, or creative assets may affect campaign performance. Improve product titles, descriptions, attributes, images, and other listing elements so shoppers have the information they need after clicking an ad.

Walmart Brand Management

Maintain a consistent brand experience across your Walmart presence while supporting product discovery and customer consideration.

Walmart Catalog Management

Catalog accuracy is important when campaigns depend on the correct product, SKU, price, inventory status, and item-page destination. Help ensure product information is organized accurately across your Walmart catalog so advertising campaigns can be built around the right products.

Inventory & Pricing

Advertising decisions should consider product availability, pricing, Buy Box status, offer competitiveness, fulfillment, and promotional activity.

Reporting & Analytics

Campaign data should be reviewed alongside listing, catalog, inventory, pricing, and marketplace information rather than in isolation. Use advertising and marketplace data together to identify opportunities and make more informed optimization decisions.

WHY BIG INTERNET ECOMMERCE

A Broader Ecommerce View of Walmart Advertising

03

Data-Informed Decisions

Use available campaign and marketplace data to identify optimization opportunities and guide future advertising decisions.

04

Ongoing Campaign Management
