Abstract:
The present invention relates to systems and methods for consumer-controlled specification, filtering and delivery of multimedia product/service offerings to “opted-in” consumers. A plurality of business subscribers is associated with a plurality of offers, wherein each offer is associated with an offer category. Through a consumer gateway, a consumer member defines a set of consumer preferences that is stored in a consumer profile, wherein the preferences define one or more offer categories preferred by the consumer member. The consumer member selects a set of business subscriber sponsors from the plurality of business subscribers. A set of sponsored offers is defined, each of which originates from the set of business subscriber sponsors. Using consumer preferences, an offer exchange matches a sponsored offer, or offers, to each consumer subscriber from the set of all sponsored offers. A distribution server distributes the sponsored offer or offers to each consumer member according to user preference.
