Walmart in the fray to buy TiKTok!

[r2d2]

Walmart is partnering with Microsoft in an attempt to buy TikTok, as the popular yet embattled short-form video app seeks a US buyer amid intense political scrutiny.

The retail giant told CNN Business Thursday it is participating in the negotiations with Microsoft over a potential deal. CNBC was first to report the effort by the two companies.

Walmart said its interest in TikTok stems from the way the app has "integrated e-commerce and advertising capabilities in other markets" and could bolster its access to consumers. 

"We believe a potential relationship with TikTok US in partnership with Microsoft could add this key functionality and provide Walmart with an important way for us to reach and serve omnichannel customers as well as grow our third-party marketplace and advertising businesses," Walmart said in a statement. "We are confident that a Walmart and Microsoft partnership would meet both the expectations of US TikTok users while satisfying the concerns of US government regulators,"

think about this... you are watching a video and persons in that videos using some stuff , tiktok shows links / buy options to that stuff so you can buy them ... if that person has millions of followers , it will reach many people ....  once walmart buy tiktok , it will give links directly from walmart website or direct purchase option in tiktok ....

 

do you remember these ariel ads from Mahesh babu / Samantha recently during covid time?
