Walmart+ celebrates new mothers with membership giveaway
With Mother’s Day fast approaching, Walmart announced it is giving away up to 20,000 free one-year Walmart+ memberships – a nearly $2 million value to new moms – as part of its new “Mother of All Savings Memberships” campaign.
Walmart knows that new moms have lots of love, but little time, and with this new campaign, the retailer is showcasing how its membership program offers the ultimate hack with time and savings. The memberships, valued at $98 each, will be distributed to moms who give birth in hospitals nationwide during the month of May.
“Walmart+ brings together benefits that will help save moms precious time,” said Seth Dallaire, executive vice president and chief revenue officer of Walmart. “Whether it's getting diapers delivered straight to their door or saving on gas for the carpool, we’ve got their back. To celebrate moms we’ve committed to gifting 20,000 Walmart+ memberships to some of our most important customers, making life a little easier for them.”

The membership giveaway is in conjunction with Pampers Hospital Gift Program, which provides a gift bag for patients who have recently delivered a baby. This May, each gift bag will include a reusable fabric bag that moms love, coupons, a Pampers Sensitive Wipes six-count sample, informative newborn literature and while supplies last, a free one-year Walmart+ membership.
“Through Pampers partnerships with hospitals, we have an opportunity to support and care for new parents right from the beginning of their journey from hospital to home,” said Marty Vanderstelt, senior vice president of P&G North America Baby Care.
Walmart also is bringing together a group of powerhouse celeb moms to share their ultimate hacks for motherhood as part of the “Mother of All Savings Memberships” campaign. Cardi B, Stephanie Beatriz, Janelle James and Jenny Slate are sharing their fun, lighthearted hacks for motherhood and how Walmart+ fits into their lives.

Some of the celebrity mom hacks include:
- Cardi B: Let them sleep with lots of binkies in their crib. If they lose one during a nap, they can easily find another;
- Stephanie Beatriz: Anything is a changing table if you have a changing pad;
- Janelle James: The moment your baby closes their eyes, you should too. Their laundry can wait. And for toddlers, sliced grapes are candy until further notice; and
- Jenny Slate: Feed your toddler in their diaper before putting their clothes on to make mealtime clean up easier.
“The beauty of motherhood is that it brings moms together with a bond regardless of where they are in their lives,” said Courtney Carlson, senior vice president of retail marketing at Walmart. “Every mom loves to trade their parenting hacks, and we’re excited for this campaign to showcase the biggest hack of all being 'The Mother of All Savings' -- a Walmart+ membership.”
