Publication number: 20080288337Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide for the creation of a template-based targeted marketing presentation. According to various embodiments described herein, a sales representative utilizes a workstation to request a marketing presentation for a certain category of customer within a particular market. A presentation engine retrieves applicable up-to-date data corresponding to the customer category and market from a database and uses the data to make one or more Return On Investment (ROI) calculations. One or more presentation templates include data insertion locations. The one or more ROI calculations and other retrieved data is used to populate the data insertion locations of a selected presentation template. Once populated, the resulting marketing presentation is customized with targeted data and statistics for presenting to the customer.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2007Publication date: November 20, 2008Inventors: John Snyder, Karen Payne, Jennifer Michael, Rebecca Sroufe, Lauren Vore, Linda Domi, Merle Carr, Chad Anderson
