Walmart and Netflix are forming a strategic partnership by launching Netflix Hub, an online Netflix branded store hosted on Walmart website. The products are collectives, action figures, toys, apparel, dolls from Netflix’ popular shows. The partnership offers Netflix an opportunity to expand its branded merchandise. For Walmart, partnering with Netflix provides its customers a place to interact with their favorite show and characters, expand Walmart’s brand recognition into new section of customers who might not usually shop physically and virtually at Walmart store. In addition, the partnership allows Walmart to stay on top of the social media trend, greatly supporting its content marketing efforts and amplifying its social media impact. Similar strategic partnership model is explored by Netflix and Starbucks as well.
