ABSTRACT:
A telecommunications system is for delivering promotional messages to subscribed calling parties. In one configuration, the system includes an association processor for comparing preset targeting criteria of each promotional message with profile data of each subscribed calling party to obtain data associating each of the promotional messages with at least one subscribed calling party. In addition, a message queue having a plurality of electronic queues is provided, each of the electronic queues assigned to at least one subscribed calling party and storing the data associating each of the promotional messages with at least one subscribed calling party. A call processor operates off-line of the association processor and accesses an electronic queue assigned to a calling party and delivers to the calling party a promotional message according the data contained in the accessed electronic queue. In a preferred configuration, multiple queue types are provided having differing targeting precisions.
