Abstract:
Techniques and arrangements for generating, distributing and managing promotion campaigns are described. A promotion server may generate the promotion campaigns based on input from a merchant. The input may include a request to generate the promotion campaign, a merchant preference, or other information shared between the merchant and the promotion server. The promotion campaign may include promotions, such as coupons, discounts, or the like, to encourage transactions with a merchant. The promotions may be generated based on merchant specified criteria, a merchant transaction history, customer preferences, a customer transaction history, and/or other information processed by the promotion server. The promotions of the promotion campaign may be distributed via one or more channels, such as electronic mail, website publication, receipts, etc. Each promotion of the promotion campaign may be linked to a particular customer, thereby limiting the number of times a particular customer can take advantage of the promotion campaign.
