Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9942941A1] For points of sale (POS) transactions, a MATCH code responsive (10 or 10A), selective, whole transaction data capture and analysis enable retail establishments (12) to improve operations by developing customer specific sales information. Reward offers provided to recipients include associated MATCH codes identifying recipients and/or their addresses (70). Such offers list named products at purchase motivating prices for increasing patronage and loyalty of recipients who become identified as being among the establishment's most profitable customers. Occurence of MATCH code data among input signals (52) for completed transactions causes selection (90) into accessible storage (80 or 82) of all data for each such complete transaction containing MATCH code data to be available (110) for analysis (120).
