The site offers more than 4.5 million products from 5,000 brands. Beyond Wayfair.com and JossandMain.com, the company also operates AllModern.com, which caters to those who prefer modern design.
During Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Wayfair expects its biggest categories to be housewares, home accents and toys. Other categories that should be strong this holiday season include fitness equipment, pet-related products, and home office items.
In addition, the number of people using a mobile device to shop on Wayfair has doubled since the beginning of the year, and the company expects to see a surge in shoppers using mobile devices during the holidays.
"We're ready for a huge holiday season," said Niraj Shah, co-founder and CEO of Wayfair. "In addition to free two-day shipping and our other key promotions, we've launched our holiday gift finder with lots of impressive gift ideas for under $50 to suit everyone on your list. With unmatched selection, competitive prices, and easy site navigation, we're making it fun and simple to find just what you're looking for this holiday, regardless of your budget or style preferences."
