Communication exchanges and methods of use thereof

Abstract

An exemplary specifically programmed electronic communications exchange which includes at least the following specifically programmed components: a specifically programmed computer processor that is configured to at least perform, in real-time, the following: causing, via a computer network, to display a company personalized communications set-up graphical user interface configured to allow a representative of a company to dynamically define a plurality of company communications attributes; causing, via the computer network, to display a consumer communications set-up graphical user interface configured to allow a consumer to dynamically define a plurality of consumer communications preference attributes; automatically matching the company to the consumer based at least in part on: the plurality of company communications attributes and the plurality of consumer communications preference attributes; and automatically and electronically delivering a plurality of electronic communications, from or on behalf of the company, to the consumer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
 receiving, by at least one processor at plurality of communications attributes associated with communication between at least one company and at least one consumer via an electronic communications exchange;
 wherein the plurality of communications attributes comprise:
 i) a first plurality of company communications attributes, 
 ii) a second plurality of company communications attributes, 
 iii) a first plurality of consumer communications preference attributes, 
 iv) a second plurality of consumer communications preference attributes, or 
 v) a combination thereof; 
 
   generating, by the at least one processor, at least one matching electronic communication of at least one electronic communication produced by the at least one company to the at least one consumer based at least in part on the plurality of communications attributes;   automatically delivering, by the at least one processor, the at least one matching electronic communication to the at least one consumer; and   recording, by the at least one processor, an audit trail of data or information transmitted through the electronic communications exchange.
