Patent

CA 2306543

A unique process by which manufacturers and retailers are able to offer coupon savings utilizing the Internet or direct mail to customize and deliver unique customer selected coupon savings. In a retailer application, the consumer selections are delivered in one of two manners. If the retailer uses a "frequent shopper card," which is customer specific, formatted data is collected, maintained and transmitted to the retailers' secure interface. The data is then transmitted to the appropriate retailers' point-of-sale system. The consumer selected discounts are deducted from the consumer's grocery total after purchase verification and use of the "frequent shopper card." If a "frequent shopper card" is not used by the retailer, a database will collect the selection data, laser print the customer specific coupon selections, imprint each with the appropriate consumer identification and retailer logo, and direct mail the coupons to the consumer. In a completely non-Internet application, consumer selections are made, scanned and recorded using a paper selection form delivered through the mail. Regardless of method, all consumer selection data is catalogued, maintained and managed by the database.
