Home furnishing sales began the year weak; however, growth in orders and active users − customers who have purchased at least once over the past year − should act as a catalyst for revenue, highlights John Staszak, analyst at Argus Research.

Tailwinds include market share gains and greater customer retention, notes John Staszak, analyst at Argus Research.
