Abstract
A method which is a two-way transaction between a media services provider (MSP) and a Client, the MSP making an investment with the Client in an amount based upon the purchase of advertising services from the MSP by the Client. The Client provides the MSP with its products and/or services in return for the MSP'"'"'s investment, which the MSP remarkets Client'"'"'s products and/or services to recoup its investment and earn a profit, at no cost to the Client. The method may also be employed between a provider (P) and a Client wherein the Client purchases either goods or both goods and services through P, P then reinvesting in the Client'"'"'s business, and the Client providing its products and/or services to P who remarkets the Client'"'"'s products and/or services at no cost to the Client, as described in the MSP/Client example, set forth above.
