The correct answer and explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Walmart follows an Everyday Low Price (EDLP)<\/strong> strategy, while Walgreens follows a High-Low pricing<\/strong> strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Retailers generally follow one of two pricing strategies: Everyday Low Pricing (EDLP)<\/strong> or High-Low Pricing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Everyday Low Pricing (EDLP)<\/strong> \u2013 This strategy involves keeping prices consistently low without frequent discounts or promotions. EDLP retailers minimize price fluctuations, making shopping more predictable for customers. Walmart is a prime example of an EDLP retailer. It maintains low prices year-round, allowing customers to shop with confidence, knowing they are getting a good deal without waiting for sales. Walmart achieves this by leveraging economies of scale, supply chain efficiencies, and negotiating lower prices with suppliers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. High-Low Pricing<\/strong> \u2013 This strategy involves setting higher regular prices and then offering frequent promotions, discounts, or sales events. Walgreens follows this model by pricing many products at higher regular prices but frequently offering discounts, coupons, and “Buy One, Get One Free” deals. This strategy appeals to price-sensitive customers who actively seek discounts and promotions. While Walgreens may initially price products higher than Walmart, customers can take advantage of significant discounts during sales.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Key Differences Between Walmart and Walgreens:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
