Abstract: Methods and systems for generating personalized advertisements or greetings to specified users are disclosed. Existing advertisement methods do not allow advertisers to adequately target specific recipients, and the costs associated with typical Internet advertising, such as developing the advertisement content and purchasing advertisement space, can be prohibitive to smaller businesses and users. The methods and systems described herein solve these problems by allowing advertisers to customize advertisement templates and specify individual recipients for the customized advertisement, and deliver the customized advertisement to the specified recipients.
