Ideal Shopping turns to Marketing Innovation Group

Ideal will buy licences for MIG's Data Innovator and Data Interrogator programmes, as well as its eCommunications services -- iNews and e-Msg.

In addition, MIG will manage the data and e-communications on behalf of Ideal to develop a full eCRM campaign.

Andrew Fryatt, chief executive at Ideal, said: "The data will enable us to better target our campaigns and analyse the underlying reasons why customers spend money with us.

"We have the advantage of immediacy via the medium of TV and being able to promote products to our customers very quickly. This digital marketing suite will enable us to exploit that opportunity in future."

Stephen Sumner, commercial and development director at MIG, said: "Ideal Shopping have opted to take a much more proactive approach to marketing and we hope that over 12 months we can prove how, with a little extra data work and a more regular emailing campaign, we can increase sales at Ideal."
