Earlier this month, we traveled to San Diego for Walmart Marketplace’s 2026 Let’s Grow! Seller Summit. We came home with plenty of notes, new ideas, and something unexpected:
SJK Enterprises was named Walmart Marketplace’s 2026 Outstanding Seller Advisor.
Seller Summit brings together sellers, brands, solution providers and Walmart teams from across the Marketplace ecosystem. For us, the biggest value is being around the people actually building and operating within it.
One of my biggest takeaways this year was how interconnected marketplace growth has become. Assortment, content, pricing, advertising, inventory and fulfillment all affect each other.
That matters for brands coming to Walmart after building a successful Amazon business. Walmart’s not another place to copy and paste the Amazon catalog. The customer, economics, fulfillment network and platform are different, and the brands that get the most out of the channel treat it like its own business.
That operator mindset is also why the Seller Advisor recognition meant a lot. Walmart has publicly described its Seller Advisors Program as a way for sellers across different categories, regions and business sizes to provide feedback as Marketplace develops.
We spend a lot of time in the trenches. We manage catalogs, send inventory into WFS, work through compliance issues, analyze profitability, run advertising and troubleshoot the weird problems that come up when operating a marketplace account.
When something isn’t working, we tend to ask why it works that way and whether there is a better way to do it. Sometimes that means improving our own process and sometimes there is useful feedback we can share.
I think the best feedback comes from actually doing the work.
It was great to see SJK recognized alongside sellers and partners contributing across fulfillment, advertising, product launches, international expansion and the broader seller community.
