Abstract

Systems and methods are presented for managing electronic promotion correspondence sent to consumers. A system may manage electronic promotion correspondence sent on a per-consumer basis. The system may access multiple electronic promotion correspondences generated for a particular consumer, select an electronic promotion correspondence from among the multiple electronic promotion correspondences, and determine to send the electronic promotion correspondence to the consumer according to any number of factors. The system may determine a target time to send the first electronic promotion correspondence to the consumer and selected communication channel to send the electronic promotion correspondence through.
