As shown in FIG. 1, the sender 10 receives an original e-mail containing an advertisement of a specific company from the e-mail server 30 using the Internet, adds a desired content to the original, and then the e-mail server. The transmission is made to the recipient 20 through the 30. The recipient 20 then checks the e-mail and sees the advertisement. At this time, when the recipient 20, the registered member, sees the advertisement, the contents are transmitted to the e-mail service company through the Internet, and it is confirmed that the advertisement is viewed. The e-mail service company checks the transmission record of the e-mail containing the advertisement on a monthly or weekly basis and pays a predetermined advertisement fee to the preset account of the sender 10 and the recipient 20.

As described above, the related art is characterized by providing an e-mail in which an advertisement is displayed and paying a predetermined advertisement fee to members using the same.

However, the advertisement method using such an e-mail is a simple banner advertisement posted on one side of the e-mail, there is no limit to the content and display of the advertisement.

In addition, although the sender can send e-mail classified to A, B, C, D, E, F ... etc. to the recipient side, the recipient only needs to advertise in the mail sent by the sender. There is a problem that can not see the advertisement you want to see.

Further, leaflets such as flyers, discount information sheets of products, and the like have been inserted into newspapers and read by readers, and there is no conventional system that allows such leaflets to be transmitted via electronic mail.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a flyer information distribution system for transmitting and receiving flyer information through an electronic mail.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a two-way flyer information distribution system that can search and distribute the flyer information desired by the buyer as well as the seller.
