Claims

1. An offer pairing and distribution system comprising:

an electronic processing and storage device associated with an offer pairing engine and an offer distributor, wherein the offer pairing engine receives input profiling events, vendors, venues, and distributors to create one or more offers to be distributed via the offer distributor to one or more qualified users who request distribution of the one or more offers when located within a defined location and epoch.

2. A method of pairing and distributing offers includes the steps of:

generating profiles for events, venues, vendors, and distributors;

pairing a combination of events, venues, vendors, and distributors to create an offer using the profiles generated for events, venues, vendors, and distributors;

exploiting an offer wherein one or more paired offers are publicized to qualified and unqualified prospects;

qualified distribution of the paired offers to qualified prospects;

receiving an acceptance of an offer by a qualified prospect;

enhancing the offer, which may include the additional steps of offer expiration and post-expiration offer enhancement, whereby the accepted offers may be enhanced by adapting the value or duration of the offer;

receiving a request to redeem an offer, wherein a qualified prospect redeems the offer; and

rewarding a qualified prospect for participation.

3. The method of claim 2 further including the steps of media data collection and media scoring to generate a media score that is used to assign a value to the events, venues, vendors, and distributors for which media data is collected.
