A reader (Arianne) sent this in this photo from her Walmart store in west TX. It is obviously a Walmart sign and they want to encourage you to trade and swap coupon between customers.
I thought I would see what a few local Walmart stores would do if I asked if I could set up a basket in the front of the store with basically the same sign:
- 4 out of 7 said that YES I could.
- The other 2 said they would need to check with higher management.
- 1 just said “no thanks.”
- Most would need to approve my sign first.
When I asked about location, it looked like the general spot they would put it would be by the service center.
I would encourage you to ask at your store and see if that would be something they would support. Make a nice, professional ( you know what I mean) sign, and bring it in to show them. Add a basket and see what happens!
The benefits would be:
- A chance to pick up coupons that you can use and might not have.
- Opportunities to meet other couponers, and share deals.
- Create a chance to educate the cashiers and CSM about couponing.
Let us know if you are able to add a coupon swap basket in your store!
