Essential Last-Minute Tips for Walmart Marketplace Sellers This Black Friday

Picture of The WAMP Team

Black Friday (November 28) and Cyber Monday (December 1) are just days away, which means Walmart Marketplace sellers have entered the most critical stretch of Q4. The next few days can significantly influence your holiday profits!

This guide highlights the steps you should take now to fine-tune listings, maximize visibility, streamline fulfillment, protect seller metrics, and leverage SellerAmp’s WAMP tool for data-driven decision making.

This is the final push. Here’s how to make it count.

Optimize What’s Already Working

With only days left, your focus should shift from broad strategy to sharpening what’s already performing. Incremental improvements now can produce significant results during the highest-traffic weekend of the year.

Focus on Your Top-Performing Listings

Use Seller Center analytics or WAMP data to pinpoint the listings driving the bulk of your impressions and conversions.

Take action:

  • Refresh titles and bullet points with seasonal, high-intent keywords such as “Black Friday deal,” “Cyber Week special,” or “holiday bundle.”

  • Review product images and pricing for accuracy and consistency. Minor improvements can yield fast conversion lifts!

  • Activate bundles or limited-time pricing to increase click-through rates and create urgency.

Even a 1–2% improvement in conversion rate across your best listings can earn you great revenue gains over the next few days.

Check Inventory Health and Replenish Strategically

Running out of stock is one of the fastest ways to lose momentum during Cyber Week. Assess inventory levels and address gaps immediately!

Take action:

  • Verify all WFS SKUs are live with available quantities.

  • For self-fulfilled products, pre-pack top sellers and schedule carrier pickups in advance.

  • Track inventory and model expected run rates based on current demand. Adjust ad spend toward SKUs with deeper stock.

The goal is to ensure that your highest-performing listings remain active and fully stocked throughout the weekend.

Review Pricing and Promotions, Then Automate

Black Friday/ Cyber Week shoppers expect value. Well-planned pricing and promotions improve your listing visibility and competitiveness.

Take action:

  • Segment your catalog and apply deeper discounts to high-volume categories such as electronics, toys, and home goods.

  • Use Walmart’s automated repricer or WAMP’s Profit Calculator feature to stay competitive without sacrificing margin.

  • Activate coupons or “bundle and save” promotions, which can increase search visibility and conversion rates by double digits.

During Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Walmart often prioritizes discounted listings in search results, so even small deals can have a big impact!

Double-Down on Fulfillment Speed and Accuracy

Fulfillment reliability is essential during holiday peak. Fast and accurate shipments directly influence your Buy Box presence and account health.

Take action:

  • Monitor WFS inbound check-in and ensure no SKUs are delayed or stuck in processing.

  • If you self-fulfill orders, accurately set handling times to avoid late shipments.

  • Print shipping labels in batches and make sure your pick ups are scheduled.

  • Validate that tracking numbers upload correctly to maintain a strong Valid Tracking Rate (VTR).

Fulfillment mistakes made now will have outsized consequences during the holiday surge, so operational discipline is crucial.

Don't Crumble Under Pressure

Holiday volume can strain your workflow, but maintaining account health is essential to your visibility and long-term success. Keep on top of your KPIs!

Take Action:

  • Monitor On-Time Delivery (OTD) and Valid Tracking Rate (VTR) daily.

  • Avoid cancellations wherever possible. If inventory sync lags, temporarily pause listings with limited stock.

  • Respond to buyer messages within 24 hours to protect your response rate and buyer satisfaction.

  • Process refunds quickly to prevent negative feedback and claim escalations.

Identify issues early and maintain compliance throughout the weekend. The effort will pay off!

Final Push: Stay Focused and Data-Driven

These last few days are the most valuable selling opportunities before the Holiday Season really kicks in. Every refinement you make - a better listing title, a faster ship time, a more competitive price - scales up in a huge way when millions of shoppers are browsing.

Competition will be intense, but sellers who stay data-driven and operationally sharp will outperform the market. Use WAMP to guide your decisions, maintain strong performance metrics, and optimize your listings for maximum visibility.

You’ve already done the hard work. Now it’s time to finish strong and make Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025 your best-performing holiday events to date.
