Tangents web order system

Tangent Communications has unveiled one of its most technically advanced projects: a web ordering system for The Union Pub Company.

The system allows the company's 1,750 pubs to produce customised marketing material relating to local offers and promotions.

Union is part of the Wolverhampton & Dudley group, whose beer brands include Banks, Jennings, Mansfield and Marstons.

"The online ordering system is one of the most exciting and technically advanced projects Tangent has ever launched," said Tangent chief executive Nick Green. "The system is a further example of how more firms are migrating their marketing spend to take advantage of the opportunities that digital represent."

It follows a campaign from Tangent targeting its client base with personalised Valentine's Day cards. The two-page postcard used Direct Smile technology to give recipients log-on details of a personalised web page. The drive had a response rate of 21.3%.
