  • Patent number: 9466069
    Abstract: One exemplary embodiment of the disclosure provides a method to publish campaign data in an electronic environment. The exemplary method includes querying a database to select campaign metadata ready to publish to a target channel system and determining a plurality of value users as a subset of all end users. The value users are determined so that one or more coupons are automatically generated and distributed to each of the value users. A value of the coupon is based on a set of pre-defined criteria including a volume of business generated by the value user or how negatively impacted the value user was based on a negative purchase experience (e.g., product not as described or never received). The target channel system is selected from a plurality of channel systems based on a target indicating attribute of the campaign metadata. The packaged campaign metadata is transferred to the target channel system.

  • Publication number: 20100293053
    Abstract: A purchase record is accessed within a database of purchases. The purchase record includes a purchase date field and a purchase price field, respectively indicating a purchase date and a purchase price of a first item purchased from a seller by a purchaser. At a determination module located at a machine, a presentation delay interval is determined using the machine, the purchase date, and the purchase price. After expiration of the presentation delay interval, an advertisement is communicated to a device of the purchaser. The advertisement advertises a second item to replace the first item.
