Walmart is watching
Heres an interesting article about how walmart is watching you… Nothing too exciting.. mainly the normal customer profiling, mining basket shopping info, etc. Its a good read (4 pages worth). It talks some about how this data is the art of business. ie. they dont want to have the lowest price on all items.. just the key 1-2 items to attract customers and give the customer a lower overall basket price..
They also talk about the hurricanes in FL. Turns out people buy pop tarts when the hurricane is coming.
