Automated online sweepstakes system and method |
摘要 |
An automated process of conducting an online sweepstakes and marketing to sweepstakes entrants. The software system enables a non-technical individual (e.g., sweepstakes manager, marketer, etc.) to create a sweepstakes entry form that is integrated with back-end data processing systems. The entry form and entry form processing system are kept consistent with sweepstakes rules chosen by the non-technical individual and automatically generated by the system. The system enforces compliance with applicable laws with integrated tools to pick winners, to determine eligibility and to collect winner affidavits. A back-end database is integrated directly with a sweepstakes entry form. Online tools permit a marketer to view entrants and select entrants to receive direct email. Direct-email marketing tools are integrated with the sweepstakes front-end system, which allows a marketer to send out promotional offers and business communications directly from the sweepstakes system.
