CA 2366646

A method of extending promotional discounts and special prices on items for sale to identified consumers using an electronic promotinal link which include computer(11) for a Discount Administration Process (DAP) connected to a Discount Administration Process Advertising Server (DAPAS) (14) which in turn is connected to a mail server (18) used to generate direct mailing to selected consumers. After the identification of a consumer by a unique identifier, a selected item is promoted with a discount or special price to the identified consumer. The discount or special price is granted upon a purchase of the item by the identified consumer prior to withdrawal or termination of the promotion to the identified consumer. The withdrawal or termination of the promotion is held in abeyance upon an acknowledgement of the promotion by the identified consumer. This inverted promotion provides for greater incentives for the consumer to provide information about her or his purchasing habits.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de prolonger des rabais promotionnels et des prix spéciaux sur des articles destinés à être vendus à des consommateurs identifiés, et ce à l'aide d'une liaison électronique promotionnelle exploitée par un processus de gestion des rabais (DAP) connecté à un serveur publicitaire pour processus de gestion des rabais (DAPAS)(14), lui-même connecté à un serveur de courrier (18) utilisé pour effectuer un publipostage ciblé sur certains consommateurs. Une fois un consommateur identifié au moyen d'un unique identificateur, on fait la promotion, auprès de ce consommateur identifié, d'un article qui fait l'objet d'un rabais ou qui est vendu à un prix spécial. Le rabais ou prix spécial est accordé lorsque ce consommateur achète l'article, avant que cette promotion ou ce rabais ne soit retiré ou arrêté, tout retrait ou arrêt d'une promotion restant néanmoins en suspens jusqu'à ce que ledit consommateur identifié ait pris connaissance de la promotion. Ce système de promotion inversée encourage donc sensiblement le consommateur à fournir des informations concernant ses habitudes d'achat.
