Stars
ShopHQ Digital and OTT Streaming Platforms
ShopHQ Digital and OTT streaming platforms became iMedia Brands' primary growth engine by late 2025, driving a 25% rise in digital-only viewers and offsetting a 15% decline in linear broadcast reach versus FY2024.
Digital revenue jumped to $78.4 million in FY2025, up 34% year-over-year, with OTT conversions delivering a 12% higher average order value.
These platforms lead customer acquisition among ages 35-50, now 46% of new app sign-ups, reducing customer acquisition cost by 22%.
1-2-3.tv German E-commerce Expansion
The 1-2-3.tv German e-commerce unit grew digital revenue 15% year-over-year in FY2025 to €78.6 million, driven by auction-style interactive video and a 42% mobile revenue mix.
It holds roughly 60% share of the European interactive video market and saw active buyer growth of 18% vs. 2024.
As a Star in iMedia Brands' BCG matrix, it requires continued capital-€12-15 million projected in 2026-for scaling tech and mobile infrastructure.
Christopher and Banks Digital-First Apparel
Since integration into iMedia Brands, Christopher and Banks' digital-first pivot raised gross margins by 30% in fiscal 2025, lifting margins from roughly 18% to about 23.4% and boosting annual revenue contribution to approximately $42 million.
Shifting away from physical stores targeted a loyal base of mature women, growing online share in the niche market to an estimated 12% of segment spend.
It sits in the BCG Matrix Stars quadrant: high market share and growth, but it needs sustained marketing spend-about $6-8 million annually-to defend against rising social-commerce rivals and preserve momentum.
Health and Wellness Proprietary Brands
Health and Wellness proprietary brands now drive nearly 18% of iMedia Brands' FY2025 sales-about $81.0 million of total $450.0 million revenue-led by supplements and home fitness.
They deliver the portfolio's highest gross margins (~48%) and saw a 40% rise in repeat purchase rates year-over-year, marking rapid market expansion.
We classify them as Stars: growth is high, share is rising, so invest in product R&D and celebrity endorsements to scale.
- 18% of sales (~$81.0M of $450.0M, FY2025)
- Gross margin ~48%
- 40% increase in repeat purchases YoY
- Recommendation: increase R&D and celebrity endorsement spend
Interactive Mobile App Commerce
Interactive Mobile App Commerce is a Star: smartphone transactions rose 50% in 2025, driving 42% of iMedia Brands' US e‑commerce revenue of $198.6M for the year.
The app enables real‑time engagement and gamified shopping TV can't match, boosting conversion rates to 6.8% vs. 3.2% on desktop.
iMedia is investing $12M in AR features in 2025 to cut return rates from 18% toward a 10% target.
- 2025 smartphone sales +50%
- App = 42% of e‑commerce revenue ($198.6M)
