Mirakl, the leading marketplace platform provider, today announced that Darty, a leading European electronics retailer, is seeing better visibility in search, greater profit margins, and new category growth after implementing the Mirakl Marketplace Solution in 2014.
According to a new case study published by Forrester Research[1], Darty attributes its marketplace success to buy in from C-level support and the foresight to start with non-overlapping product categories, dedicate adequate employee resources, and take advantage Mirakl’s marketplace platform versus custom building their own solution.
Darty’s online marketplace has delivered the following results to date:
- The retailer is able to generate €6 to €7 euros for every €100 sold through the marketplace (including any costs for administering the marketplace), compared to €2 to €3 that it generates from €100 sold in products that it stocks directly.
- 20% of visits to Darty website are driven by its marketplace items, which it attributes to increased visibility in search engine results.
- An increase from 120,000 owned SKUs on Darty.com to 520,000 SKUs via the marketplace initiative.
