Campaign specification system and method
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system for automatic management of targeted marketing campaigns, the system comprising:
- a computer memory for storing at least marketing matrix data and suppression information;
an electronic display enabling operation of user interface presentation components for presenting information including the marketing matrix data and the suppression information to the user;
user input components for allowing selection of desired marketing matrix data defining a target population and selection of suppressions for limiting the target population by eliminating specified targets; and
computer processing components programmed to perform operations including,integrating the selected marketing matrix with the selected suppressions and automatically generating record selection codes, the record selection codes processed by the computer processing components to automatically select records from a database based on the marketing matrix data and suppressions, through at least comparing the record selection codes with recipient entries in the database, the record selection codes identifying recipients using recipient identifiers;
automatically creating a selection table including the selected records by matching the recipient identifiers for the recipients;
generating a campaign list based on the created selection table; and
transmitting the generated campaign list to at least one list recipient.

Abstract
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.

15. A computer-implemented method for management of targeted marketing campaigns, the method implementing a computing system including user input components, a processor, and a database, the method comprising:
-
providing user interface presentation components for allowing selection of marketing matrix data defining a target population and selection of suppressions for limiting the target population by eliminating specified targets, the selection accomplished through the user input components; receiving entered marketing matrix and suppression data entered through the user input components; integrating, using the processor, the selected marketing matrix with the selected suppressions and automatically generating record selection codes for the marketing matrix data and suppressions; selecting records from the database by processing, using the processor, the automatically generated record selection codes through at least comparing the record selection codes with recipient entries in the database, the record selection codes identifying recipients using recipient identifiers; creating a selection table including the selected records, using the processor, by matching the recipient identifiers for the recipients; and generating a campaign list based on the created selection table. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
