Systems and methods allow consumers (102) to bookmark items that they are interested in purchasing. Advantageously, consumers (102) can bookmark items from a plurality of different manufacturers (106) and on-line retailers (104, 112) in one convenient location. By bookmarking items, consumers (102) can be notified of any change in the status of the items, such as goods that are being discontinued, and can be notified of any special deal relating to the items. Consumers (102) can also designate when the items should be purchased as well as when the items should ship, both of which can occur at a future date. Consumers (102) can also set up their own "MyPage" and indicate their interests. The consumer information gathered from bookmarked items and the "MyPage" is invaluable to retailers (104, 112), manufacturers (106), publishers (108), and advertisers (110). The retailers (104, 112), manufacturers (106), publishers (108), and advertisers (110) can push incentives to the consumers (102) through the bookmarked items as well as through the "MyPage". These incentives may relate to the bookmarked items themselves, to comparable items, or to related items. |
