In 2015, it decreased the number of flash sales, in response to some customers who were overwhelmed by the amount of merchandise from which to select.〔 〕 Retaining customers is a challenge for it: "the flash-sale website is straining to hold on to customers and realizing it may have inundated shoppers with too many deals".〔 Although revenue was up 29% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year, that was less of a huge increase than the 52% shown for the last quarter of 2014 compared to one year earlier, leading the company to lower its estimate of anticipated revenues in 2015.〔 Although the web site for the company says they hold no inventory, in 2015 they began to hold some merchandise in warehouses to shorten the time for delivery. The company is including some established brands in addition to the emerging brands on which it had completely relied.〔 In August 2015, Zulily was purchased by Liberty Interactive's QVC division for $2.6 billion.〔 〕〔http://www.cnet.com/news/qvc-owner-to-buy-zulily-shopping-site-for-2-4-billion/ 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zulily」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
