Walmart preps shoppable livestream event featuring Rachael Ray
Walmart is teaming up with TV personality, author and cook Rachael Ray to co-host a shoppable livestream event that celebrates adopted pets and promotes her pet food line, Nutrish.
On Wednesday, 29th September at 4 p.m. EST, Ray, her husband John, and their pup, Bella Boo Blue, will host The UltiMutt Happy Hour on Walmart.com and Facebook Live, discussing their creation of Nutrish, their favourite products and The Rachael Ray Foundation.
Viewers will have the chance to preview and purchase products ranging from Nutrish food and treats to Rachael’s cookware line. They will also get a sneak peak of Ray’s new cookbook, This Must Be The Place, and can pre-order ahead of its 26th October release.
Autonomous delivery
Walmart has worked with Argo AI and Ford to launch an autonomous vehicle delivery service in Austin, Miami and Washington D.C.
This will use Ford self-driving test vehicles equipped with the Argo AI Self-Driving System to deliver Walmart orders to customers.
The service will be available within defined service areas of the three markets and will expand over time, with initial integration testing slated to begin later this year.
Tom Ward, Senior Vice President of Last Mile Delivery, Walmart U.S., said: “This collaboration will further our mission to get products to the homes of our customers with unparalleled speed and ease, and in turn, will continue to pave the way for autonomous delivery.”
