Reducing Costs: Walmart Business Addresses the Business Landscape of 2024

Bolster your bottom line

2024 should mark a time of increased stability for many businesses still struggling after a period of economic uncertainty and shifting supply and demand. With interest rates and inflation still high, though, returning to normal can be tricky. For business owners, this means finding new ways to balance budgets.


At Walmart Business, we understand that reinforcing the bottom line means taking a hard look at everything from invoices to the cost of office supplies. That’s why we’ve prepared the following guide to reducing costs in 2024.

The business landscape in 2024

After a four-year period when industries struggled to adapt to the ups and downs of the COVID-19 pandemic, 2024 has emerged as a year of still lingering inflation and economic correction. Experts expect inflation to ease and interest rates to go down, but in the meantime, businesses are demonstrating that they have learned from the recent past and are able to make course corrections.


While previously, businesses were able to balance their bottom lines by increasing prices for their goods and services, inflation has made that lever difficult to pull. Prices for items of all kinds are higher, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) up 3.1% in January 2024 from January 2023, and consumers are not willing or able to absorb further increases. As a result, businesses must look elsewhere to make ends meet. 


Successful businesses need to adapt to the new reality and make smart choices. Read how clinical psychologist Dr. Kimberly Lemke uses Walmart to save both time and money.
