Abstract:
The invention provides systems and methods for collecting point-of-sale (POS) data, and then using this data to determine the effectiveness of a given promotion. The transaction data includes a merchant identifier for each of the merchants and a transaction amount for each transaction involving the merchants. One of the merchants is a promotion merchant that is offering a promotion involving transactions made with the merchant. A portion of the transaction data is aggregated into control merchant aggregated data involving control merchants, where the control merchant aggregated data comprises transaction data obtained other than from the promotion merchant. A characteristic of the purchases is calculated, both for transactions involving the promotion merchant and for the control merchants.

Claim (Index 2):
A computerized method for calculating the effectiveness of a promotion, the method comprising:\n aggregating, at a host computer system, point of sale (POS) data sets from at least one POS terminal, wherein:\n the POS data sets comprise transaction data related to a plurality of transactions from the at least one point of sale POS terminal that is associated with at least one merchant; \n the transaction data comprises a transaction amount for each of the plurality of transactions; \n at least a portion of the transaction data includes at least one promotional identifier that identifies the terms and conditions of a promotion such that an immediate discount is providable; \n the promotion is redeemed by entering the promotional identifier into a respective one of the at least one POS terminal; and \n the promotional identifier is separately provided to a shopper who in turn provides the promotional identifier at the respective one of the at least one POS terminal; \n storing, by the host computer system, the aggregated POS data sets; generating, by the host computer system, market data from the aggregated POS data sets; generating, by the host computer system, promotional data from the aggregated POS data sets, wherein the promotional data comprises information related to a portion of the plurality of transaction that include the promotional identifier; calculating, by the host computer system, a characteristic of the purchases, both for transactions which include the promotional identifier and for the market data; generating, by the host computer system, a report showing a comparison of the calculation for transactions which include the promotional identifier and for the market data; and transmitting over a network, by the host computer system, the report to a remote user device for display on the remote user device.
