Happy Veterans Day! Today, we are honoring those who have served for their country by highlighting our support for Homes For Our Troops and Marine LCPL Alberto Flores Jr. In 2005, while on his second combat deployment in Iraq, LCPL Flores sustained severe injuries to his right leg, ultimately requiring an amputation below the knee. We partnered with HFOT to deliver their 400th specially adapted home to the Flores family - furnishing the home with pieces that foster comfort, independence, and a true sense of belonging. “Having a specially adapted home is a priceless gift,” LCPL Flores shared. “I’m incredibly thankful to HFOT and all the donors for giving us a place where we can live freely and independently.” Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/e249eyXT

Kate Gulliver, Wayfair’s CFO, recently spoke with Jennifer Williams at The Wall Street Journal, to discuss our approach to promotions that doesn’t compromise profitability. By partnering with suppliers, we can offer enticing deals that draw customers in—while keeping margins strong. “Only about 30% of revenue during a promotion comes from items that are marked down,” said Kate. “This gives us some conviction around the importance of this as a marketing tool.” Read the full story here:?https://lnkd.in/gYWCTb7d
