Method and apparatus for administering a reward program

A computer-based method for administering a reward program, comprising:

• receiving signals indicative of registration information;
• generating a registration corresponding to the received registration information;
• calculating a quantity of sales of a predetermined product;
• determining if the quantity is within a first predetermined range of quantities;
• selecting the registration if the registration is an early-adopter registration;
• and
• transmitting signals indicative of the selected registration.

A computer-based method for administering a reward program based on success of at least one of a plurality of products, comprising

• storing a series of registrations, each registration corresponding to a purchaser and a product of the plurality of products, each registration thereby defining a registered purchaser of the product;
• calculating a measurement of success of a first product of the plurality of products;
• determining if the measurement is within a predetermined range;
• selecting a set of purchasers who are registered purchasers of the first product and registered purchasers of a second product of the plurality of products;
• and
• providing a reward to each of the set of purchasers if the measurement is within the predetermined range.

A computer-implemented method for administering a reward program, comprising:

• calculating a quantity of sales of a predetermined product;
• determining if the quantity is within a predetermined range of quantities;
• selecting from a series of registrations a set of registrations having ordinal positions within a predetermined range of positions, the set of registrations thereby defining a set of early-adopter purchasers;
• and
• providing a reward to each early-adopter purchaser if the quantity is within the predetermined range of quantities.
