<p>Internet, web-based platform that offers low cost advertising venue for companies and a convenient shopping venue for customers. Companies can target advertising in specific markets. Customers can find places of interest based on geographical location that offer discounts through the purchase of nominally priced coupons. The system includes storage capacity to store information on purchased and redeemed coupons, and includes logic to analyze the effectiveness of a marketing campaign based on statistical analysis of redeemed coupons relative to purchased coupons. One embodiment includes a system capable of automatically comparing and analyzing the customers' stored preferences with posted coupons, and automatically sending a listing of coupons that match the customer's preference by email, text message, or by any commercially available communication mode. Another embodiment includes a coupon sales revenue sharing function that credits the company's account for each coupon sold up to an agreed upon limit.</p> |
