History
TMN or themutual.net was established in the year 1999. It was a company that offered internet service to its customers. The main catch which propelled the company to new heights was the fact that it offered its shares to the customers who used its dial up internet service using the number 0845.
However, as the internet arena progressed and companies based in UK started moving towards monthly internet plans, companies like themutual.net that used dial up connections for providing internet started suffering. It was then that the company came up with the idea changing its services and to become a business and reward website in collaboration with other reputed companies. It offered its customers reward points for shopping on its websites. The rewards were in form of shares.
The customers were offered 1000 shares as rewards for joining and then more shares when they shopped for the products from the companies that were their online partners. Some of these companies were TESCO, DIXONS etc. The main idea behind this strategy was to create a database of customers that could then be used to send mailers as a direct email marketing company. Themutual.net went on to list itself at the London Stock Exchange in the year 2000. Later it changed its name to TMN Group and relisted itself under this name. In 2009, when Progressive Digital Media took over the TMN Group through a reverse takeover procedure, the company was renamed as Progressive Digital Media.
