A plurality of vendors (90) and stored member accounts (126, 132) allow for the purchase of products and/or services from the plurality of vendors (90). The member accounts (126, 132, 86) may include personal information and/or behavioral information and may be used to form a report that provides valuable information to a vendor. Vendors and individual members are allowed to receive a variety of benefits such as referral fees, specific customer information, focused advertisements (150, 152), reduced prices, or frequent buying incentives. By preserving member information (86), the benefits may be provided to the vendors and individual members whether the products and/or services are purchased at a traditional store, an electronic store, or through the use of a telephone menu system. |
