CA 2431105

A method and article for increasing the opening/reading rate of mail and thus adding value to advertising by mail. A coupon value is embedded within a machine readable code of an information based indicia used as postage evidence on each piece of a mailing. The amount of the coupon and type of coupon can be determined by the customer creating the mailing. The information based indicia is digitally signed prior to printing, allowing a redeeming vendor to verify the authenticity of a coupon, preventing fraud and changing of data within the information based indicia. In addition, the customer originating the mailing may obtain marketing information such as mailing date, type of products purchased, after the coupon is redeemed.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un article permettant d'augmenter la vitesse d'ouverture/lecture d'un courrier et, ainsi, de valoriser la publicité par correspondance. Une valeur de bon est intégrée dans un code pouvant être lu par une machine, lequel code correspond à un affranchissement fondé sur des informations utilisé comme justificatif sur chaque pièce d'un envoi postal. Le montant et le type du bon peuvent être déterminé par le client qui crée l'envoi postal. L'affranchissement fondé sur des informations est signé numériquement avant l'impression, ce qui permet à un vendeur devant procéder au remboursement, de vérifier l'authenticité du bon, empêchant ainsi la fraude et la modification des données à l'intérieur de l'affranchissement. En outre, le client créant l'envoi postal peut obtenir des renseignements à caractère commercial, tels que la date de l'envoi postal et le type de produits achetés, après remboursement du bon.
