$LIVE -Groupon Follows LiveDeal's Lead but Without Key Benefits to Users NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 02/19/14 LiveDeal (NASDAQ: LIVE) has been in the online deal space for all of six months and already it's a trend setter. LiveDeal's "instant deal" platform, www.livedeal.com, has a number of advantages for both merchants and consumers, including one that Groupon liked so much it chose to introduce a similar version of it. Unfortunately their business model doesn't allow them to duplicate every benefit of the "live" concept, and that's likely because LiveDeal's model was developed to create real-time business, eliminate the middleman and to enhance the merchant, consumer relationship. Earlier this month, Groupon launched what it calls Deal Builder, a self-service option for local businesses to build their own deal. It's essentially what LiveDeal does every day with DealCentral, so while Groupon is using this as a supplement to its core business model of selling thousands of vouchers per deal, merchants have been flocking to the livedeal.com platform because real-time deals are their central focus. Deal Builder does add value to Groupon's platform, but it fails to deliver some key benefits that LiveDeal has turned into strengths. First, while Deal Builder won't expand to food and beverage merchants until later in 2014, one big problem restaurants will face is that the platform doesn't allow businesses to drive traffic when they need customers most. Additionally, the deals on Deal Builder are all one week deals, and once consumers buy a deal, they're free to visit that restaurant when they choose. In contrast, this is what's attractive about LiveDeal's platform; it allows restaurants to create deals exactly when they need to drive business the most. The platform may be a new addition, but Groupon will still charge restaurants exorbitant fees to broker their deals, and they'll also continue to act as the middleman between merchants and consumers. LiveDeal, however, allows its users to interact directly with the businesses they select from livedeal.com. The advantage to LiveDeal is that merchants can use the money they save to offer even bigger discounts, and consumers never have to leave credit card information on the site. Unlike LiveDeal's DealCentral, Deal Builder won't allow restaurants to stop, play, or pause deals. This is extremely useful for restaurants using livedeal.com because it lets them adjust promotions in real-time based on actual customer traffic. So, while Groupon is attempting to add additional options, only LiveDeal's platform is giving restaurants the full power and flexibility to run "live" promotions with a host of advantages. www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=U-i1091082-U%3aLIVE-20140219&symbol=LIVE®ion=U |

$LIVE - LiveDeal Mobile Popularity Set to Explode with Addition of Apple and Android Apps NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Feb 24, 2014) - Mobile trends show that LiveDeal, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE) should see a dramatic uptick in users when its Apple iOS and Android apps are introduced. The company says the mobile technology is expected by the end of this quarter, and with these apps, users will have immediate access to LiveDeal's "instant" real-time deal platform www.livedeal.com. If a technology ever needed an app, it's an online deal platform that's getting its start in the dining industry. Mobile users are shopping with their mobile devices more than ever, and given LiveDeal's geo-location feature that puts deals closest to a consumer's location at the top of the list of promotions, a mobile app is crucial. Two separate reports show that Americans are not only buying more mobile devices, but they're shopping with them is increasing quickly. Gartner, Inc., the world's leading information technology research and advisory firm, predicts mobile phone shipments will rise to 1.91 billion units in 2014 while tablet shipments are expected to rise 42.7% to 263.2 million units this year. These numbers make it clear that America is a mobile nation, and to compete, companies need to keep up with the growing trend. In a recent report from eMarketer, the firm said mobile transactions are on pace to drive 19% of all e-Commerce sales in 2014 which corresponds to $56.72 billion in sales. Forecasts also show mobile transactions will represent 26% of digital retail transactions in 2017, reaching an eye-popping $113.57 billion, an increase of close to $90 billion in just 5 years. LiveDeal is currently in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City, so introducing apps to keep up with anxious mobile shoppers in these major cities is a big win for investors but also for merchants using the platform to drive business. www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=U-i1092303-U%3aLIVE-20140224&symbol=LIVE®ion=U |

$LIVE - new research update on online deal pioneer LiveDeal, Inc. BALTIMORE, February 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Goldman Small Cap Research, a stock market research firm focused on the small cap and microcap sectors, announced today that it has issued a new research update on online deal pioneer LiveDeal, Inc. (NASDAQ - LIVE). LiveDeal provides marketing solutions that boost customer awareness and merchant visibility on the Internet, primarily through its innovative deal engine. In the Opportunity Research update, analyst Rob Goldman outlines his thesis on LiveDeal. "Since our initiation of coverage report two weeks ago, LiveDeal has executed a series of steps that affirms our thesis and gives us even greater confidence in our short term and long term price objectives. For example, the Company is flush with cash from a $10 million funding, and will soon introduce new mobile apps enabling users to have immediate access to LiveDeal's "instant" real-time deal platform www.LiveDeal.com." "We view these steps are a strong complement to the Company's core business and revenue models which are preferred by restaurateurs to Groupon and other deal sites. More important, LiveDeal' Google-type search engine model drives web traffic and revenue, and carries higher profit margins than typical deal sites. It also doesn't hurt to have Howard Stern aiding in a large ad campaign around the time the Company launches its services in New York City given his long history of sponsorship successes." www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=U-prenUK201402281713-U%3aLIVE-20140228&symbol=LIVE®ion=U |

$LIVE - LiveDeal, Inc. User Traffic Explodes as Consumers Adopt the Instant Marketplace Platform 2014-03-11 09:00 ET - News Release NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 03/11/14 - LiveDeal, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE) announced last week that traffic on its "instant" real-time deal engine,www.livedeal.com, increased by almost 43% in February over the prior month. This news is probably a direct result of the company's ongoing plan to build the LiveDeal brand and drive consumers to its online and mobile marketplace. As LiveDeal adds each new city to the platform, the company's CEO Jon Isaac continues to tell his company's story. Even in the calendar's shortest month, the numbers don't lie, livedeal.com is growing quickly. Consumers seem to like the real-time deal concept and with restaurant promotions now available in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City, both consumers and merchants are adopting the brand. As a matter of fact, user traffic isn't the only statistic on the rise. The company also reported a 44% increase in the number of vouchers being redeemed at restaurants as compared to January's numbers. LiveDeal's CEO said of the dramatic rise in users, "We are very pleased with the growth in LiveDeal.com users to date. We attribute the platform's growing marketplace acceptance to being a reflection of both the desire consumers have to access 'instant deals' from local restaurants and the simplicity which livedeal.com brings to the process of grabbing the offers." The good news doesn't stop there however. The most impressive statistic was that February saw a 154% increase in mobile usage over the prior month. Isaac said, "We're very pleased with growth in our mobile user base. We are hopeful that the imminent release of our apps will help fuel this growth even further." LiveDeal has said it expects both the Apple and Android apps will be available this month. It is this explosive growth month after month that likely generated a February press release stating that tomorrow, March 12; LiveDeal will release a version of the "real-time" deal platform with further enhanced features and functionality that will enable restaurants in cities throughout the US and internationally to adopt the platform with ease. According to Jon Isaac, these changes are expected to lay the groundwork for exponential growth. "To meet the growing demand for a better restaurant deal platform we plan to make it possible for international expansion whereby LiveDeal can be adopted in any city in the world." www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=U-i1096929-U%3aLIVE-20140311&symbol=LIVE®ion=U |
