SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A PLATFORM FOR PRIVATE REFERRALS AMONG SOCIAL CONTACTS

摘要

A system and method are provided for enabling a brand owner to generate, via a template one or more promotions such that an endorser may engage a gateway to those promotions from any medium to disseminate referrals to selected contacts for such promotions within a familiar, trusted environment. The system includes the ability to make a selection of a promotion provided by a brand owner to enter the trusted environment. The endorser selects at least one contact and parameters at the trusted environment. The trusted environment generates or provides incentive data based on the selected parameters and displays the incentive data, that may be normalized for contacts related to an endorser at a webpage, accessible via a selected Uniform Resource Locator. Within the trusted environment, a messaging application is utilized to generate a personal message associated with the selected at least one contact and provides the Uniform Resource Locator within the personal message to direct a browser associated with the at least one contact to enter the trusted environment. Upon entering the trusted environment, a contact may interact with incentive data associated with various endorsers, and may also be returned outside of the trusted environment. The endorser, upon accepting a promotion from a brand owner and disseminating referrals to selected contacts, may similarly be returned outside of the trusted environment.
