2. Background In 2008, Walmart created its e-commerce, along with the social media boom Problem Our main challenge was to insert an unknown brand in the social networks, engaging consumers, creating interaction and being 365 days in touch with this environmentâs audience.

4. Problem Taxes are among the main problems in Brazil regarding the buying of products, specially games, that were inserted in the âgamblingâ category and therefore receive a great amount of taxes (124% over the price). Insight Price is the main obstacle that keeps people from buying. Walmart | Apoioao Jogo Justo (âFair Gameâ Support) 9/15/2011 :: 4
5. Solution Walmart, thus, decided to support a small group of gamers (the Jogo Justo - Fair Game - Movement) who were fighting against this high taxation â and was the only retailer in Brazil to do so. Its move was to drop gamesâ prices to its original ones â removing (and paying) for the taxes â showing this category of clients (gamers) that it was side by side with society, fighting for better buying conditions. With Walmartâs help, the cause gained voice and grew in power and visibility in the society and in the media. Walmart | Apoioao Jogo Justo (âFair Gameâ Support) 9/15/2011 :: 5
6. Results With Walmartâs help we got to Twitter Worldwide Trending Topics (along with Brazil and SĂŁo Paulo TTs) with the #jogojustohashtag. In the âJogo Justo Dayâ Walmart sold, in the social networks, the equivalent of a 2 month sales. Content was spontaneously produced and spread across the internet by users. We became news in the main news broadcast program of Brazil, JornalNacional of Globo TV â that has the most expensive media break in the country. We helped and increased the discussion about the huge amount of taxes in Brazil, not only regarding games, but in the Brazilian sales system as a whole.
