Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided for optimized and effective leading messages, which may be an email subject that may provoke a consumer to access the body portion of an email message. A system may include circuitry configured to programmatically determine a predicted access rate for a leading message when the leading message is provided as a portion of a promotional message. Circuitry may be configured to track historical data indicating the access rates of leading messages and/or leading message terms. The circuitry may be configured to leverage the historical data to determine predicted access rates for leading messages, such as based at least in part on historical access rates associated with one or more leading message terms of the leading message.

Abstract: Certain embodiments provide a computer-executed method for generating a future sales estimate for an item. The method includes programmatically accessing, from a dataset via a network device, an inventory residence time period of an item. The method also includes programmatically accessing, from the dataset via the network device, prior performance data associated with the item. The method also includes programmatically executing an inventory valuation engine to generate a future sales estimate for the item based on the inventory residence time period and the prior performance data. The method further includes executing a notification generation engine to adjust a notification policy defining a frequency or other characteristic of electronic marketing communications indicating the item transmitted to consumer devices based on the future sales estimate.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed for improved machine learning using a statistical model. In the context of an apparatus, some example embodiments include a processor configured to cause retrieval of information regarding a plurality of consumers, and modeling circuitry configured to train a statistical model of the plurality of consumers based on the retrieved information, and predict, using the statistical model, an incremental booking value associated with the promotion for each consumer of the plurality of consumers. The processor is further configured to select a subset of the plurality of consumers for receiving impressions of the promotion. Some example embodiments may further include communications circuitry configured to transmit an impression of the promotion to each consumer in the subset of the plurality of consumers.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a computer-executable method, computer system and non-transitory computer-readable medium for programmatically generating an association among two or more purchase categories based on purchase data of a plurality of consumers. The method includes programmatically accessing, from a dataset via a network device, prior purchase data associated with purchases of a plurality of commercial objects by a plurality of consumers. The method also includes programmatically identifying a plurality of categories associated with the plurality of commercial objects. The method also includes, for each consumer in the plurality of consumers, programmatically generating a total number of purchases by the consumer in each category in the plurality of categories.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for predicting consumer behavior. In one embodiment a method is provided comprising determining a classification for a first consumer, wherein the classification is based on a measure of frequency of purchases by the first consumer; identifying one or more first attributes for the first consumer based on the determined classification, the one or more attributes being attributes selected for predicting the respective one or more metric associated with the first consumer; and determining, based on values for the one or more first attributes, a first prediction value that indicates a programmatically expected number of purchases by the first consumer.
