Abstract

A system for targeted communication includes a computer processor and a platform configured to perform transactions between first users and second users. A management server is separate from the platform. The management server includes a first management application used by the first users and configured to generate a first user profile for each of the first users and a second management application used by the second users. The second management application, logically separate from the first management application, is configured to generate a second user profile for each of the second users. The management server also includes a third application configured to permit the first application to communicate with the second application through the third application and to enable targeted communication, between the first users and the second users, based on the first user profile and the second user profile.

         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the targeted communication is further sent based on a reputation score resulting from a click-through rate associated with one or more previous messages sent via the third application.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the third application is further configured to analyze responses to messages transmitted via the third application to generate a score proportional to a conversion rate associated with the responses, and   sending messages from the second application to the first application via the third application is further based on the score.   
     
     
         8 . A method for targeted communication, comprising:
 executing a first management application, a second management application, and a communication application on a management server, wherein the first management application, the second management application, and the communication application are logically distinct from each other;   receiving, by the communication application, information regarding a plurality of transactions between a first plurality of users and a second plurality of users, wherein:
 the first plurality of users use information regarding the plurality of transactions on the first management application, and 
 the second plurality of users use information regarding the plurality of transactions on the second management application; 
   permitting, by the communication application, the first management application to communicate with the second management application through the communication application; and   enabling, by the communication application, targeted communication between the first plurality of users using the first management application and the second plurality of users using the second management application, based on the plurality of transactions.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein permitting and enabling are further performed by:
 establishing a match by matching a first plurality of transactions recorded on the first management application to a second plurality of transactions recorded on the second management application; and   transmitting a message from the first management application to the second management application based on the match.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein permitting and enabling are further performed by:
 establishing a match by matching a first plurality of transactions recorded on the first management application to a second plurality of transactions recorded on the second management application; and   transmitting a message from the first management application to the second management application based on the match and further based on a first user profile for each of the first plurality of users and a second user profile for each of the second plurality of users.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 establishing, using the first management application, the first user profile;   communicating the first user profile from the first management application to the communication application;   establishing, using the second management application, the second user profile; and   communicating the second user profile from the second management application to the communication application.
