摘要： A system for customizing clothing that memorializes an event, an association or a fantasy team by electronically collecting messages and signatures to be arranged and printed on clothing. In one embodiment, a user desiring to memorialize an event creates a list of invitees to whom the system sends an electronic invitation to create a signature and a message to be printed on a shirt. In another embodiment, a user desiring a celebrity signature submits a bid for said signature. In another embodiment, a user presents a fantasy team roster and signatures of the team players are placed on an article of clothing. An invitee or celebrity electronically submits the signature and message to the system through a pointing device. The system provides a plurality of tools and templates to lay out the submissions in an individualized graphic design for printing on keepsake clothing.

摘要： In particular, systems and methods are provided for delivering a discount using a virtual currency. Inventive systems and methods offer a high perceived savings value to an end-user while maintaining the perception of product value. Further, systems and methods for providing a discount are described which impose little or no cost on the service or product provider. An embodiment of an inventive method includes presenting a display of a price paid by a consumer without access to the virtual currency along with a display of an amount payable by the end-user in actual currency in combination with an amount payable in virtual currency by an end-user of an inventive system. The end-user perceives a benefit to using the virtual currency since the price paid in actual currency is less than the displayed price to be paid by a consumer without access to the virtual currency.
