Campaign Specification System for Automated Marketing List Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current marketing campaign management systems are inefficient due to manual data collection and processing, requiring extensive time and resources, and lack sufficient automation to handle large data volumes and complex marketing campaigns effectively.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that integrates user interface components for selecting marketing matrix data and suppressions, automatically generating record selection components, and creating campaign lists, allowing for automated data processing while enabling manual intervention and standardizing marketing campaign requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automated systems are used for data collection and campaign list creation, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the marketing campaign management process into distinct modular components: data collection module, data processing module, suppression rule application module, and campaign list generation module. Each module handles a specific aspect of the workflow, allowing the system to process large volumes of data efficiently while maintaining manageable complexity through clear separation of concerns.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that sits between raw data collection and final campaign list delivery. This intermediary layer applies suppression rules, filters data according to campaign criteria, and coordinates between different system components, thereby managing complexity while enabling automated high-volume processing.
2Loss of time
If manual methods are used for campaign management, then device complexity is reduced, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-collecting and storing customer data in structured databases, pre-defining suppression rules and campaign criteria, and pre-processing data into usable formats before actual campaign execution. This preliminary preparation enables rapid automated campaign list generation when needed, significantly reducing execution time while keeping the automation complexity contained through advance setup.
3Productivity
If existing automated systems are used, then productivity is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to requirement for computer professionals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service capabilities that allow marketing personnel to directly configure and execute campaigns without requiring computer professionals. The system provides user-friendly interfaces for defining campaign parameters, selecting target audiences, and managing distributions, enabling non-technical users to leverage automated data processing while maintaining operational simplicity.
Data Source
AI summary
The invention is directed to a method and system for automatic management of targeted marketing campaigns. The system may include user interface presentation components for allowing selection of marketing matrix data defining a target population and selection of suppressions for limiting the target population. The system may further include integration components implemented by a processor for integrating the marketing matrix with the suppressions and automatically generating record selection components for automatically selecting records from a database based on the marketing matrix data and suppressions and creating a selection table including the selected records. Additionally, the system may include a list generation engine for generating a campaign list based on the created selection table and transmission components for transmitting the generated campaign list to at least one list recipient.
