Author: TM-admin  :  Category: Uncategorized

 

Thanks to Alison over at Twifans.com, and her inside Walmart source, here are some great pictures of some Twilight displays and information on the dvd release parties. Enjoy!

 

 Hey all! I thought I would come on and tell you ALL the fantastic things that we have going on at Walmart. Like most stores, at 11pm on Friday the 20th of March, we will be holding a Twilight Party in honor of it’s release at Midnight. Almost EVERY 24 hour store is doing this and has all the things that I am going to mention, so if yours doesn’t, then they need to be slapped.

All 24 hour Walmart stores are essentially setting up little Twilight Cities in their stores (generally around the women’s apparel or jewelry section). In this City, you will find many cool little items including temporary tattoos, Twilight Jewelry, Tshirts, Walmart Exclusive posters, movies, soundtrack, books, etc. A lot of those things are being held until Friday night, but some of them are already out on the floor. The BEST thing in this City, is the flat screen TV that is broadcasting the bonus disc from the upcomming release, on repeat (more on that in another blog).

Here is a list of the activities/happenings that Walmart has going on and it is followed by photos (sorry that they are black and white) that show what is being given out and raffled off.

Release Party Kits (below) will be handed out and will include 50 Twilight themed door hangers, Character cards, activity brochure, and tattoos bundled in Twilight Themed folders.

At 11pm Friday, the in-store TV network will run an exclusive interview with key characters from the film. The video will last 15-20 minutes running on ALL TV’s on the TV wall in the electronics department.

Every Walmart SHOULD be handing this folder out with every purchase and it contains the goodies below it, including party ideas, party checklist, and door hangers.

–Fans can send an ‘eBite’ to friends for DVD movie release activities

March 2, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ — Walmart today announced detailed plans to bring teens, women and “Twilighters” of all ages more access to their beloved Twilight story as it gears up for the March 21 DVD release from Summit Entertainment. Bringing “Twilight shops” to all Walmart stores next month, the retailer announced today it will also host midnight events and giveaways in its 24-hour stores upon the DVD’s release, including a program for fans to interview Twilight cast member Taylor Lautner on BlogTalkRadio.

Today, its special micro site www.walmart.com/twilight shares more details on these events, viewing party ideas, new behind-the-scenes movie footage, and a way to engage friends with a create-your-own electronic invitation (”eBite”) on the site.
“Fans of all ages have fallen in love with the Twilight series and we will bring to as many as possible special access to the stars, great priced products and additional, memorable activities around this DVD movie release, both in our stores and online,” says Greg Hall, vice president, Merchandising at Walmart.

In partnership with BlogTalkRadio, Walmart will host actor Taylor Lautner, who plays “Jacob Black” in Twilight, on the “Stardish Radio” program March 9, 2009 at 9 pm (EST). Speaking from the set of The Twilight Saga’s New Moon, Taylor will take questions from fans “logged in” to BlogTalkRadio with hosts Jo Ann Kubasek (Stardish Radio) and Amy Clark (MomAdvice).
