AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This system streamlines the ad-book creation process by automating tasks such as graphic design, payment processing, and accounting, reducing costs and increasing efficiency while maintaining the unique identity and appeal of each organization, and enabling economies of scale through consolidated services.

Problems solved by technology

In either case, the process is time consuming and very labor intensive for the organizations that use ad-books or similar print or publications as a fundraising vehicle.
Further, since organizations generally do not collaborate or cooperate in their fundraising efforts, the economic benefit that arises from producing ad-books or other similar print or publications in large quantities for many different organizations is unavailable.
However, none of these known ways improves upon or streamlines the creation, publishing, and development of ads, ad-books or related print-jobs or publishing.
In addition, none of these ways creates a new tool of a type of physical “Run” to fill out that simultaneously offers to or collects members or supporters billing information for an “ad” or message and the advertisements or messages, themselves, for automated delivery to pre-print production or printing and financial information or funds for direct deposit or to automatically issue accounting statements such as billing, receipts or reports.
Furthermore, there is no standardized method, system, tool, automated form or device to provide such services to a plethora of groups, charities and not-for-profit organizations for fundraising ad-books or related print or publication, and more particularly, to standardized computerized / automated preparation, production, publishing and management.
First, there is a propensity for community groups to be insular and private and to jealously guard their membership information and the privacy of their members.
Though “ad-book” requests for information may be similar, or even plagiarized from one group to another or adapted from local printers there is no common rule or tool to guide this very cloistered, parochial and private “industry”.
