LAS VEGAS, Jan. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - LiveDeal, Inc. (NASDAQ:LIVE) ("LiveDeal" or the "Company"), operates livedeal.com, which enables restaurants to publish "real-time, instant offers" to consumers, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, online marketplace ModernEveryday, has experienced significant revenue growth compared to last year.
Since the same period in 2013, ModernEveryday marked a 40 percent increase in revenues, much of which can be attributed to the holiday season. Further, LiveDeal infused significant capital into the company in order to fund inventory purchases.
"Our online sales continue to grow as does our relationship to our parent company, LiveDeal." said Byron Hsu, CEO of ModernEveryday. "The sales growth is largely the product of improvements in our software algorithms, which use sales data to provide us with a better prediction of consumer demand. These forecasts in turn result in more accurate, more efficient, and less risky inventory purchases. The end-result being that we are smarter in how we buy inventory, while consistently improving our revenues and mitigating risk."
"Our acquisition of ModernEveryday continues to pay off in a variety of ways," said Jon Isaac, CEO of LiveDeal Inc. "From the infusion of additional funding into the company, to the expansion of our product offerings for our customers, to a better understanding of consumer buying trends, so that we can maximize revenue and minimize risk, we believe that we are providing our customers with money-saving opportunities and our shareholders with measurable results."
