Abstract
In various implementations, a paper product may have a core with a token disposed on the core. The token may include one or more redemption codes that are associated with rewards. A paper product management system may include a paper product application (e.g., on a user device and/or a server), which may manage redemptions, decode redemption codes, monitor user redemptions, monitor user information, and/or monitor sales.

A paper product system comprising:
- a plurality of paper products, wherein each of the paper products comprises:
- a core, and wherein the core comprises:
- an inner surface;
- an opposing outer surface;
- one or more tokens disposed on the outer surface of the core, wherein the token comprises one or more redemption codes that are redeemable for at least one reward;
- and
- a length of paper product wrapped around the core.
- a memory storing:
- one or more instructions;
- and
- associations between one or more of the redemption codes and one or more of the rewards;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute one or more of instructions operable to:
- receive user information from a user, wherein the user information identifies the user and one or more associated sets of users, and wherein
- the user is a direct or indirect member of the one or more associated sets of users;
- receive at least one of the redemption codes on at least one of the tokens disposed on one of the outer surfaces of one of the paper products from the user;
- determine one or more rewards for the user based on the received at least one redemption codes and the stored associations between the one or more redemption codes and the one or more rewards;
- and
- determine one or more rewards for at least one primary user of at least one of the associated sets of users based on the received at least one redemption code.
A method of managing redemption of tokens on paper products, the method comprising:
- receiving user information from a user, wherein the user information identifies the user and one or more associated sets of users, and wherein the user is a direct or indirect member of the one or more associated sets of users;
- receiving, from the user, at least one redemption code associated with one or more paper products, wherein at least one of the redemption codes is associated with a token disposed on one of the outer surfaces of one of the paper products;
- determine one or more rewards for the user based on the received at least one redemption codes;
- and
- determine one or more rewards for at least one primary user of at least one of the associated sets of users based on the received at least one redemption code.
A paper product comprising:
- a core, wherein the core comprises:
- an inner surface;
- an opposing outer surface;
- and
- one or more tokens disposed on the outer surface of the core, wherein the token comprises one or more redemption codes that are redeemable for one or more rewards;
