First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for social targeting, comprising:
- processing a first set of social media interaction data to generate a second set of social media interaction data containing a reference to an intent to purchase a product, the first set of social media interaction data associated with a first set of social media users and the second set of social media interaction data associated with a second set of set of social media users;
processing the second set of social media interaction data to generate a prioritization index;
processing a third set of social media interaction data with the prioritization index to generate a propensity-to-purchase value for individual users of a third set of social media users, the third set of social media interaction data associated with the third set of social media users; and
performing ranking operations to rank the third set of social media users according to their respective propensity-to-purchase value.

Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for social targeting within a social media environment. A sample set of social media interactions containing a reference to an intent to purchase a product is processed to generate a prioritization index. The prioritization index is then used to monitor social media interactions in a target social media environment to identify social media users exhibiting propensity-to-purchase behavior. A propensity-to-purchase value is then generated for each of the identified social media users and they are ranked accordingly. The ranked social media users are then converted into sales leads for nurturing.
