I was watching TV this weekend* and a commercial came on that stopped me in my tracks.

HERE’s the commercial I’m talking about.

Now if you can’t or don’t want to watch it, this is what it is: a Walmart commercial that's a Mean Girls spoof.

I love Mean Girls. And that’s for suuuuuure what caught my eye at first. But all I could think about once I realized what was happening was:

Walmart is STILL having to get our attention. And they’re pulling out a lot of stops to do it.

With Cady Heron, Karen Smith AND Gretchen Weiners playing their iconic characters, we don’t have to wonder if Walmart paid a big ole price tag to produce this ad, we know they paid a big ole price tag to produce this ad.

As the #1 retailer in the US by BILLIONS (seriously, Amazon is the runner up with less than half of Walmarts sales), you’d think they could relax for a freaking second.

If getting attention was a one-time game, the marketing team could’ve hung their hats after that little smiley face bopped around the store and did the rollback prices with a literal lasso in 1999.

 (I was actually worried I dreamt that, but this confirms I did not.)

I doubt it was anyone’s first time hearing about Walmart. Could be, but probably not. Still worth it. Why?

It reminded me that I need to stop by Walmart to get command hooks for our stockings.

 Get people’s attention. Then get it again. And a few hundred more times after that.

 Xo, The Salesgirls
