Publication number: 20100023391Abstract: A method tracking commercial activity that can be initiated by a print or electronic media provider and that includes creating an insert that contains unique code information and associating the code information with a particular recipient for tracking consumer transactions by imaging a code or applying electromagnetically-readable media onto an insert and applying recipient information onto a mailing host. The code and recipient information are maintained on a relational database and the mailing host and insert are delivered to a recipient. When the recipient takes some action with the insert, the insert use information by the particular recipient is collected and the relational database is used to identify the recipient. A marketing database is then created from the insert use information by the particular recipient. In one method, the code information on the insert and the recipient information are recorded by a publisher during binding and processing of a magazine, catalogue, or loose leaf mailing.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2008Publication date: January 28, 2010Inventors: Peter R.
