I wonder if Walmart got any backlash from the non credit card users who still relied on lay a way.

Listening is one of the most important aspects of being a good person and being a good business owner. Often times we simply have to take a step back and listen to what our customers want. Not all customers are the same and knowing what to say to what customers shows how well a company really knows its customers.

It almost opens up the question what they could have done if they had responded faster to the trend, i.e. offering credit cards at POS, etc. Wed, 19 Sep 2007 01:26:16 GMT gmonkey http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/blogs/SalesAndMarketing/2007/09/11/giving-away-the-store#comments-1377 2007-09-19T01:26:16Z
