Launched in early 2010, Zulily changed the online discount shopping experience with its flash sale events model, featuring thousands of products on its website and app for a limited time and quantity at a significant discount. These events, creating a sense of urgency to browse, discover, and purchase, along with Zulily’s method of segmenting its audience to provide each customer with a curated and optimized shopping experience, contributed to its rise to a peak market cap of $7 billion in 2014, and later to $666 million in sales in 2023.
Hilco Streambank Senior Vice President Richelle Kalnit commented, “Zulily targeted an attractive audience – discount shoppers looking for the best deals on women’s and kids’ apparel, footwear, and home goods – of which there are over 2.5 million that made a purchase in 2023.” Kalnit continued, “A buyer of Zulily’s IP will have a prime opportunity to reengage these customers and to build on the Zulily brand recognition, including over 6.4 million social media followers across platforms, to acquire new ones.”
