Abstract
A occurrence marketing server communicates with a database to store and retrieve information related to solution seekers, solution providers, surveys, survey responses and social networking data. A universal solution code (USC) is assigned to a set of solution assets configurable into a webpage describing the solution. The occurrence marketing server communicates with mobile devices via an SMS gateway to send and receive text messages. A dashboard is made available to solution seekers and providers. A mobile lead retrieval application uses a badge code to correlate and provide surveys to solution seekers. An information request application accepts and responds to USC codes via SMS text messaging.
