Abstract
In accordance with some of the gift messaging based customer acquisition methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media that are described herein, a message for a gift recipient is determined in connection with a gift based on input from a first network node associated with a gift giver. A message notification that includes access information for accessing the gift message is generated. The access information is associated with the message. A request that includes the access information is received from a second network node associated with the gift recipient. Responsive to the request, the message is transmitted to the second network node based on the association between the access information and the message, and auxiliary customer acquisition information is transmitted to the second network node.
