AUTOMATED OFFER MANAGEMENT

Abstract:

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for automated offer management. An offer management system determines predetermined affinity signals indicating respective candidate user interest in purchasing an item listed for sale on an online marketplace. The offer management system determines tiers of candidate users based on the affinity signals. Each tier includes a subset of the candidate users. In response to determining that a threshold period of time has elapsed, the offer management system transmits a first offer in relation to the item listed for sale to candidate users in the first tier of candidate users. The first offer includes an first offer price that is a deviation from the sale price of the item.
