  • Patent number: 9202221
    Abstract: Architecture for dynamically tracking information about a first-time or inactive user to a website and expeditiously presenting targeted content back to the user to maintain the user interest in the website. A visceral connection is created with the user based on immediately relevant content and functionality, and without requiring user-entered profile information about the user. Based on a few pieces of browsing information collected while at the website an action-oriented initial scenario is provided that is interesting to the user, and gets the user invested in the content (e.g., product) as a whole. Services can be recommended to users in the context of a social application or an online service provider, for example. The architecture also facilitates the up-selling, cross-selling of services, features, and products, for example, to users based on the current user browsing activity.

  • Publication number: 20090112648
    Abstract: Various online sales and marketing activities and data are integrated into a single cohesive system capable of generating and modifying marketing strategies based on collected data and coordinating sales and marketing efforts using online tools. Different management modules or applications for online sales and advertising activities in a networked environment provide input to an analysis module, which provides feedback to a recommendation or campaigning module for coordinating and optimizing online marketing activities. Online activities are then executed based on the recommendations resulting in an organized integration of sales and marketing tools. The system may be implemented in a solution marketplace platform as an iterative loop that also provides access to Independent Software Vendors through standardized interfaces.
