A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed for self-service design, scheduling, and delivery of user-defined reports regarding promotions. The method includes receiving, from a user device, a report type and report delivery information. Based on the report type, relevant data regarding the one or more promotions is collected, using which a report is generated. The method then outputs the generated report based on the report delivery information. Optionally, analytical insights, such as trends within the data, sample size, suitability of control data, and indications of statistical significance, are generated and included in the report. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and apparatuses for providing electronic communications to client devices based on clustering and filtering candidates for inclusion in the electronic communications based on programmatically generated correlation metrics and thresholds associated with the clustering.

Method and apparatus for providing electronic communications

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and apparatuses for determining item recommendations and receiving dynamic modifications to an item recommendation algorithm. The method includes receiving electronic data indicating a set of items, generating, using a recommendation engine executing on a processor, a first set of one or more item recommendations from the set of items, causing a client interface to be generated, the client interface comprising the one or more item recommendations and a plurality of interface controls, wherein selection of one of the plurality of interface controls causes a weight adjustment indication to be transmitted for at least one of the plurality of weights, receiving the weight adjustment indicator, adjusting at least one weight of the plurality of weights associated with the weight adjustment indicator, and generating a second set of one or more item recommendations using the adjusted at least one weight.

Method and apparatus for item selection

In general, embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and computer readable media for recommending contextually relevant promotions to consumers in order to facilitate their discovery of promotions that they are likely to purchase from a promotion and marketing service.

Generating in-channel and cross-channel promotion recommendations using promotion cross-sell

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for generation of analytic data. An example embodiment includes a method for identifying trending items based on electronically generated velocity metrics derived from transaction data. The method includes performing at least one electronic transaction between a consumer and the promotion and marketing service to offer, via the electronic transaction, at least one promotion to the consumer, storing a set of transaction data in a memory, the set of transaction data comprising electronic data indicating the at least one transaction, determining, via processing circuitry, one or more velocity metrics for a plurality of promotions from the set of transaction data, determining at least one trending promotion from the plurality of promotions based on the velocity metrics, generating, via the processing circuitry, an electronic communication comprising the at least one trending promotion, and transmitting, via communications circuitry, the electronic communication.

Method and apparatus for identifying trending promotions

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and apparatuses for providing promotion recommendations using a promotion and marketing service. Some aspects may provide a method for providing a promotion recommendation framework. The method includes receiving, via a network interface, a promotion recommendation inquiry from a component of a promotion and marketing service, the promotion recommendation inquiry including electronic identification data identifying at least one of a consumer or a consumer characteristic. The method also includes identifying, via processing circuitry, promotion transaction information associated with the electronic identification data. The promotion transaction information includes electronic data identifying at least one transaction performed using the promotion and marketing service. The method also includes determining, via the processing circuitry, at least one promotion recommendation based on the promotion transaction information, and providing, via the network interface, the at least one promotion recommendation in response to the promotion recommendation inquiry.

Method and apparatus for providing promotion recommendations

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and apparatuses for identifying related records in a database. The method determining an item identifier for at least one item stored in an item catalog database, accessing the item catalog database to determine one or more item attributes for the at least one item, accessing an item inventory database to determine one or more item inventory levels for the at least one item, using, by a processor, a predictive model to calculated a predicted inventory level for the at least one item, the predictive model indicating an estimated inventory level for the at least one item at a particular time subsequent to the calculation of the predicted inventory level, wherein the predictive model receives the one or more item attributes and the one or more item inventory levels as inputs, storing the predicted inventory level, and using the predicted inventory level to evaluate an electronic marketing communication for transmission, wherein the electronic marketing communication comprises content related to the at least one item.
