WAL-MART “LOWEST PRICES FOR ALL”-ALWAYS
Whenever an employee
complained of inconsistent
labour polices ,unpaid
overtime etc. media made a
big story out of it.
“NO COMMENT”,SHOUTS WAL-MART !
• THE CEO issued an open letter in the ads stating the company
provides – good jobs with excellent advancement opportunities.
• The executive at the company declared that if their policies had
been so bad , then the chain would not have grown to the size
attracting such a large customer base.
• The commercials released were not meant to sell any products but
were focused on creating an overall goodwill about the company.
Example- in an advertisement , for instance , a couple sits on a sofa
with their son ,who had just undergone two operations for a liver
disease . The man happily remarks that it was only the help by this
company, otherwise he could not have afforded it.
The company accelerated its image makeover
efforts , launching more testimonial
advertisements and also for the first time
increasing its political donations to $ 1 million.
In other advertisements of the company
showed how Wal – mart contributed to the
local communities .
This effort to show that wal –mart has good
jobs- to share the good jobs – which proofs of
the fact that wal- mart is a good company.
It further begins to offer scholarships for
journalistic studies in about 10 universities
nationwide. These future scholars and
journalists would be obliged to project good
image for the company.
THE BIGGER THE WORSE
