Walmart serves over 200 million customers per week across over 8,400 retail units in 15 countries, generating $405 billion in fiscal year 2010 sales with a workforce of over 2.1 million employees.

However, Walmart faces challenges of high 50% employee turnover and needing to hire 850,000 new employees annually while opposing critics of big box stores. The proposal recommends developing social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter pages for each local Walmart store to promote sales and events to engage local customers online and drive more in-store traffic and sales.
