Zusammenfassung:A system is disclosed for providing customised software, in particular promotional gifts or sales aids, over a network, for example by e-mail. The promotional gifts may be software applications such as games or calendars, and may retain the originator's electronic business card in an accessible place on a customer's computer desktop. The system includes a client computer 100 configured to receive data 502, such as company contact details, from the originator via an input 102. The client computer 100 forwards the data 502 over a network 400 to a server computer 200, which builds a customised application package 506 including the data 502 and the application 504. The server computer 200 forwards the customised package 506 to the client computer 100, which in turn, forwards the package 506 via the network 400 to one or more of the recipient (customers') computers 300. The data 502 input at the client computer may also control font sizes, etc. The customised application package 506 contains software which, when run on the recipient computer, provides an output containing at least some of the data input at the client computer.
