A system and method is disclosed for promoting offered products and
services to a plurality of mobile device users. The method generally
comprises the steps of generating at least one general broadcast message
directed to commercial offers of at least one provider (i.e., retailer)
of the offered products and services. The general broadcast message is
preferably broadcast from a central server over a prescribed geographic
area. Responses from end users to the broadcast message are monitored at
the central server to create profile information of the responding users
for use in qualifying business relationships with the providers of said
products and services. The responses may be further utilized to construct
a market directed to inducing the providers of the offered products and
services to purchase broadcast message blocks for future promotions.
Establishment of such a market includes the establishment of pricing
criteria based on user response rate statistics.
