Wal-mart still has name brand products on the shelves and nothing wrong with eliminating some of the brands as I stated they are not necessarily the best.

You were saying ...

Wal-mart still has name brand products on the shelves and nothing wrong with eliminating some of the brands as I stated they are not necessarily the best.

It was never stated that there are no name-brand products on the shelves at Walmart. What was stated is that Walmart is eliminating a certain selection of name-brand products on the shelves at their stores (and another article states that it's going to increasingly go in that direction for Walmart) -- and having only their own "off-brand" item... alone.

Now.... what was said "about that marketing move of Walmart" is that this is going to drive away a certain number of consumers that have always been able to get those name-brand products at Walmart and they never needed to go elsewhere for them.

But, now... they will be forced to go elsewhere to get the name-brand products that they have purchased there before.

Therefore, Walmart is driving certain customers straight to their competitors. Whoever thought that one up in the marketing department is not going to be around for long, I can tell... LOL...
