Wal-mart claims to have low prices always, and in the economy that's what Americans need, we need cheap affordable products. But as we saw in the video, Wal-mart will put say a coffee maker, on sale, on display where you have to walk by and see it. And this will make someone look at the coffee maker and say oh, its only $20 dollars, huh well my coffee maker is old I'll go and look at the coffee makers then. The customer will go and look at the coffee makers, see the one they want but its not a low price like the other one, it could actually be marked up. And the customer will assume since the other coffee maker was on sale and such a low price that this coffee maker must be a good deal as well and chances are buy it.
