$LIVE continues to enhance its innovative, new real-time "deal engine"LiveDeal (NASDAQ: LIVE) continues to enhance its innovative, new real-time "deal engine"www.livedeal.com in an effort to distinguish itself from other competitors in the space and to strengthen its brand for both restaurant owners and consumers. The latest addition to the platform is DealCentral which comes on the heels of an announcement earlier this month that the company will be adding both Apple iOS and Android apps to access livedeal.com. DealCentral has the potential to change the industry by putting all of the power in the hands of businesses that use the platform to entice potential customers with offers and deals. Multi-billion dollar deal giant Groupon doesn't have it, and as far as LiveDeal CEO Jon Isaac knows, no other company in the space does either. "We are thrilled to launch what we believe is the very first online deal portal of its kind that lets restaurants take complete control of their deal flow and manage all aspects of their special offers directly to their markets in real time." With this addition, LiveDeal is giving the $660 billion dining industry extreme flexibility to control its traffic 24 hours a day. DealCentral lets restaurants instantly create, modify, pause and play and most importantly publish promotional deals to hungry nearby diners. Isaac says, "Now restaurants can dynamically manage offers and adapt, in real time, to their changing business conditions and trends. This is a new level of flexibility and control that we expect will drive strong adoption and brand affinity." While the livedeal.com "deal engine" is just a few months old, its popularity has quickly caught on in the dining industry in those cities it has officially launched, San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. So, why not take an idea that is working very well and make it even easier to offer deals to consumers. Jon Isaac said this addition will "give restaurants the full capability to change their deal 'on the fly,' based upon real time business conditions." He added, "Restaurants are able to create deals and publish them either instantly or on a preset and recurring schedule so that a deal runs automatically." And, with this kind of flexibility, it's clear to see why more than a thousand restaurants are using the platform already. www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=U-i1087043-U%3aLIVE-20140204&symbol=LIVE®ion=U

$LIVE LiveDeal, Inc. Unlike other deal sites that cut into a business owner's profits by charging fees to broker deals, LiveDeal doesn't charge these fees because with their platform, restaurants interact directly with diners themselves who spotted their offer on livedeal.com. And, while merchants are looking to increase profits by giving away less money to deal sites and other advertisers. With the platform's quick growth and stark advantages over competitors, it will be interesting to watch LiveDeal grow into the future and beyond the dining industry. www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=U-i1088467-U%3aLIVE-20140210&symbol=LIVE®ion=U |

$LIVE LiveDeal's "instant deal" platform, www.livedeal.com, is just what today's consumers are demanding. LiveDeal, Inc.'s Instant Deals Platform Making Vouchers a Thing of the Past NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Feb 11, 2014) - LiveDeal (NASDAQ: LIVE) doesn't do vouchers. And, it's a good thing because the shopping public is moving away from vouchers and more toward something they'll use right now. LiveDeal's "instant deal" platform, www.livedeal.com, is just what today's consumers are demanding. When LiveDeal launched its platform in late 2013 in the dining industry, the concept was to introduce both merchants and consumers when each needed the other the most, and having shoppers purchase vouchers to use later was not going to meet that end. This is likely what accounts for the platform's early success in San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and it's the direction the industry is heading. While other online deal sites had to migrate away from their initial model that found consumers buying vouchers for products or service that they often never ended up redeeming, LiveDeal's model caters to diners who are hungry and restaurant owners who are trying to drive traffic. This instant satisfaction is more in line with what benefits merchants themselves and obviously the concept is an advantage to consumers who are ready to eat and save money now. There are likely mountains of prepaid and unused vouchers for wine tours, weight loss strategies, cooking classes, etc. strewn throughout the country, and these unused vouchers could very well be why many have stopped using online deal sites that strictly use this concept. Google Offers has moved away from the prepaid voucher model altogether, and while Groupon does still offer prepaid deals, it has added other options to its model as well. This shift in mid-stream isn't something LiveDeal has to worry about because the company's platform allows merchants to control the deals they offer, and it allows consumers to find those deals in real-time and then interact directly and immediately with those restaurants. www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=U-i1088898-U%3aLIVE-20140211&symbol=LIVE®ion=U  |

$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
