LETTER FROM THE
editor
At Walmart Live Better and Vivre mieux Walmart, our brand promise is right in
our name. And we deliver on that promise in every issue, with budget-friendly
recipes, on-trend beauty and fashion looks, along with home decor and family
health news – tools that help Canadian families make the most of every Walmart
shopping experience so they save money and truly live better.
We’re connected to noted authorities on all of the topics that matter to moms,
package their best advice inside the over 1 million copies of each issue, and offer
it up free in Walmart Supercentres across Canada. Print copies are snapped up
quickly, but those who miss the magazine in stores can access the same great
content (and more) in our tablet editions and on our websites. What’s more, our
responsive site design means that moms who choose to log on from their mobile
devices will still have the experience of our gorgeous photography and friendly,
accessible tone.
In focus groups, moms who shop at Walmart said they’d gladly pay full newsstand
prices for Walmart Live Better and Vivre mieux Walmart. When they discovered
they could get such a high quality magazine for free – they were delightfully
surprised. More importantly, they felt valued, rewarded and empowered.
What better audience for your
product than fully-engaged moms,
made to feel special while shopping
at Canada’s favourite retailer?

Jen, via Twitter

your magazine. The first

expecting it to be all about
Walmart! Was I wrong! I
am currently reading the
Back to School edition and
I am loving the recipes in it!
The great thing about the
magazine is the fact that
it comes from Walmart...
I know that when I go
shopping for supplies to
make these recipes I can
find everything in my
favourite store! Thank you
and keep up the great work!”
Kim, via email

do this before... but I
just wanted to take a
