For Darty (a subsidiary of Fnac Darty, sales of €3.4 billion in H1 2024, up by 1.4%), customer reviews are a key sales win factor. To capitalise on this invaluable asset, the European retailer shared with mind Retail the results of long-term customer reviews, launched on May 12, 2024, in its domestic market.

Displayed on the Darty website, long-lasting reviews appear on the product sheet, alongside traditional reviews. They concern small, medium and large household appliances, photography and sound categories that account for a significant proportion of sales and have a long life cycle.
