Initial awareness of the range will be driven by an email to all 1.3 million members of the Ikea Family loyalty scheme, directing people to a . 

The microsite, created by Lida, will display curtains that draw back to reveal the limited edition 'True Blue' collection. 

Visitors to the site will also be able to choose their preferred shade of blue, which will then display products in the same colour to drive home the True Blue theme. 

A button on the microsite will direct traffic to a social network, while visitors will also be asked to share the offers on Ikea's Facebook page, which will have a blue takeover to mark the collection. 

Markus Weichselbaumer, relationship marketing manager at Ikea, said: "Decorating your home can be a lifelong journey. It's this thought that led our designers to India to collaborate with local suppliers in creating something very special indeed: a mix of quality design with Indian craft and colour."
