(NASDAQ: LIVE) ("LiveDeal" or the "Company"), a publicly traded company that operates livedeal.com, a geo-location based mobile marketing platform that enables restaurants to publish “real-time” and “instant offers” to nearby consumers, today announced that it will be expanding its existing platform to offer products and services.

Having successfully launched www.livedeal.com in several major US cities along with the release of both the Company’s Apple iOS and Android Apps, LiveDeal will be expanding the livedeal.com platform to include goods and services in such retail sectors as Fashion & Jewelry, Health & Beauty, Electronics, Home and Children’s products and much more. This broadening of reach coincides with an aggressive campaign to expand livedeal.com in the US and internationally within the $660 billion dining industry.
With an expansion of its deal engine into products and services, LiveDeal expects significant growth in revenues. Providing consumers with deals in both the restaurant and retail markets will greatly enhance revenue generating opportunities while at the same time help to grow the Company’s audience exponentially.
Jon Isaac, President and CEO of LiveDeal, commented: “The LiveDeal geo-location based mobile marketing platform has proven to be effective in connecting restaurants to consumers. In addition to our goal of becoming a dominant player in mobile restaurant marketing, we also have plans to substantially expand the platform to offer a means for other types of retailers to attract customers through our deal engine.”
What is livedeal.com?
livedeal.com is a unique, real-time "deal engine" that connects merchants with consumers. The Company believes that it has developed a first-of-its-kind web/mobile platform providing restaurants with full control and flexibility to instantly publish customized offers whenever they wish to attract customers. The website includes a number of user and restaurant-friendly features, including:
- an intuitive interface enabling restaurants to create limited-time offers and publish them immediately or on a preset schedule that is fully customizable;
- state-of-the-art scheduling technology giving restaurants the freedom to choose the days, times and duration of the offers, enabling them to create offers that entice consumers to visit their establishment during their slower periods;
- advanced publishing options allowing restaurants to manage traffic by limiting the number of available vouchers to consumers;
- superior geo-location technology allowing multi-location restaurants to segment offers by location, thereby attracting customers to slower locations while eliminating potential over-crowding at busier sites;
- innovative proprietary restaurant indexing methodology; and
- a user-friendly mobile and desktop web interface allowing consumers to easily browse, download and instantly redeem "live" offers found on livedeal.com based on their location.
Restaurants can sign up to use the LiveDeal platform at the Company's website (www.livedeal.com).
