A New Plus for Walmart+ Members
Walmart is upping its foodie game. The retailer is teaming up with media company Tastemade to offer a free six-month subscription to the streaming platform’s food and lifestyle shows.
The collaboration between Walmart and Tastemade+ gives Walmart+ members six months of free membership to ad-free and on-demand video content, along with access to more than 12,000 recipes, meal plans, events and other features. Tastemade, a three-time James Beard Award winner, has a monthly global audience of 300 million viewers.
As they unlock ideas and inspiration for meal planning and home design from Tastemade+, Walmart+ customers can make the browsing and buying experience seamless with online ordering and free delivery from Walmart stores. "We are thrilled to unlock the next iteration of our long-standing collaboration with Walmart by bringing Tastemade+ access to Walmart+ members," said Taylor Shwide, distribution and partnerships manager at Tastemade. "We are in the business of turning viewers into doers, and we know that on-demand content continues to grow in popularity. Through this partnership, we are able to unlock a whole suite of recipes and content for an entirely new fanbase in a unique way."
