A cork upon which a password or code is printed which provides access to a website with information about the product.

The present disclosure identifies and/or delivers tailored content based upon a service dialog. For example, the systems may receive a request for tailored content, facilitate a service dialog to obtain information related to the request, and communicate a plurality of tailored content based upon the information related to the request. Further, the systems may identify tailored content based upon a consumer profile, communicate the tailored content to a web client, and/or receive a selection of the tailored content. Further still, the systems may modify a magazine (e.g., content that is presented electronically) based upon tailored content.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for processing readable indicia for targeted data extraction and interaction manipulation. The invention receives an alternative interaction request from a user over a network that indicates the user's interest in a resource provided by a first entity at a first entity location. The invention generates tailored alternative interactions for the user based on selectively extracted interaction and resource data procured from competing entity systems. The alternative interactions are transmitted to the user in real-time, wherein at least some of the alternative interactions are not associated with the first entity. The user accepts or denies the one or more alternative interactions to trigger an interaction completion process on an entity system. Additionally, the invention may interrupt an in progress interaction to provide a user with alternative interactions before the in progress interaction can be completed.
