摘要
A closed loop system for distributing and redeeming coupons ordered by a customer including a coupon distribution center for distributing the coupons and a redemption center for redeeming the coupons distributed by the coupon distribution center. A controller is operatively connected to the coupon distribution center and the redemption center for providing a closed loop, real time interconnection between the distribution center and the redemption center and associated components such as databases and production aids. This modular integration and hard linkage of the intrinsic functions involved in executing promotions, permits total control of a coupon offer program from birth to expiration. The distribution center interfaces directly with the consumer, presents coupon offerings in a text list for rapid access, permits easy coupon selection, enables the user to chose the preferred delivery method and selection of coupon type and delivery destination. Since coupons are only selected by the customer, and the coupon offer list contain text only, customer interface is easy and rapid, and can be readily accessed with a PDA, a cellular phone, laptop, or desktop PC.
