ARE YOU A RESTAURANT OWNER?
REACH MORE LOCAL CUSTOMERS WITH ON-DEMAND DISCOUNTS!
Avoid the Middleman
Promote your restaurant on LiveDeal and transact directly with your customer. Our users don't buy or pay for vouchers online, so we never hold funds on your behalf. Start realizing an immediate profit boost the moment customers start walking through your doors to redeem their deal.
Customize Your Local Offer
Run deals that are valid only at the locations you choose. Boost traffic at slower branches without overburdening other bustling locations. With superior geo-targeting capabilities, LiveDeal can publish discounts that are visible only to users within a certain radius of your live promotion.
Manage Your Traffic
LiveDeal puts you in control of the maximum number of users that can claim your voucher before a deal is sold out. Once all of your vouchers are claimed, your deal expires. You will never have to worry about your restaurant being understaffed or overcrowded again.
Just cap the voucher limit to 5, 10, or any quantity you can comfortably accommodate. When patrons experience VIP service, they're more likely to become repeat customers and spread glowing word-of-mouth recommendations.
Basic Advertising is Free?
Let your competitors pay to advertise. Quite possibly the best part of LiveDeal is the price for basic listings, or lack thereof. Publish real-time deals on LiveDeal and avoid revenue shares, sign-up fees, posting fees, and annual fees. Why not pass this savings on to LiveDeal local patrons by offering even more appealing bargains?

$LIVE LiveDeal.com Platform Looks to Control Deal Space With Huge Advantages Over Competitors Like Groupon 1/13/14 http://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=U-i1081102-U%3aLIVE-20140113&symbol=LIVE®ion=U
ReplyDelete$LIVE Market Research Report on who LiveDeal is
ReplyDeleteNEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 01/10/14
After adding a third major city to the company's new daily deal platform, LiveDeal, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE) continues to sign more restaurants than the competition anywhere it competes with companies like Groupon (GRPN) and LivingSocial. It is LiveDeal's ability to go toe-to-toe with the almost $8 billion market cap company Groupon and others, along with a host of stark advantages over the larger, more established companies that Stock Market Media Group, a full service research and content development investor relations firm, has initiated coverage on the daily deal company.
View the Report at: www.stockmarketmediagroup.com/reports.
LiveDeal CEO Jon Isaac chose San Diego, California, to launch his innovative new platform www.livedeal.com in the $660 billion dining industry. Its launch has been a huge success capturing about a thousand restaurants in the San Diego area or about 20 percent of the market. Groupon promotes deals for about 30 restaurants in the same market. Since that time Isaac has added both Los Angeles in December and San Francisco this week. In both markets, LiveDeal works with hundreds of restaurants again outpacing Groupon.
Restaurant owners are seeing the value that LiveDeal's unique, real-time "deal engine" brings them. With LiveDeal, restaurants gain the flexibility they just don't get with any other daily deal site to manage the traffic that comes into their business by instantly publishing customized offers whenever they wish to attract customers. Restaurants have access to a business dashboard where they can create and publish a deal, modify a deal, pause or delete a deal at anytime.
Meanwhile for consumers, they can access the platform using their mobile device, view real-time "live" deals, and they never have to enter any credit card information because once they find their deal, they transact directly with the restaurant.

LiveDeal, Inc. (NASDAQ: $LIVE ) is just getting started in the deal space with the company's newwww.livedeal.com platform, but already it enjoys a great deal of popularity with its users. It's a popularity that's most likely related to a host of advantages that both advertisers and consumers are offered at livedeal.com that they don't get with the almost $8 billion market cap company Groupon (GRPN) among others. So far, there simply is no competition in the cities where the two compete in the $660 billion dining industry. http://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=U-i1081102-U%3aLIVE-20140113&symbol=LIVE®ion=U

ReplyDelete$LIVE - official launch of DealCentral, the first online deal portal allowing restaurants to instantly create, modify, pause and play and publish offers and deals
ReplyDeleteLAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Jan 30, 2014) - LiveDeal Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE) ("LiveDeal" or the "Company"), a publicly traded company that operates livedeal.com, an innovative platform using geo-location to enable restaurants to communicate and publish real-time and instant offers to nearby consumers, today announced the official launch of DealCentral, the first online deal portal allowing restaurants to instantly create, modify, pause and play and publish offers and deals to nearby potential consumers all in one central online place.
DealCentral is easy to use and is available 24 hours a day and gives restaurants the full capability to change their deal 'on the fly,' based upon real time business conditions. Restaurants are able to create deals and publish them either instantly or on a preset and recurring schedule so that a deal runs automatically. DealCentral also enables restaurants to specify the maximum number of vouchers that can be issued for any deal, which helps better manage traffic based on the deal for any particular day.
Jon Isaac, President and CEO of LiveDeal said, "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. 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."

$LIVE has gotten off to a strong start in the online deals industry with its www.livedeal.com platform. Late in 2013, LiveDeal rolled out its innovative, new real-time "deal engine" in the $660 billion dining industry, and has found that the industry absolutely loves the concept in each of the three cities it has launched, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. In those cities, LiveDeal outperforms billion dollar deal giant Groupon, and to get some idea of how well the model has caught on, one need look no further than San Diego where LiveDeal first launched. The company has deals for around a thousand restaurants on livedeal.com versus about 30 restaurants using Groupon.

$LIVE continues to enhance its innovative, new real-time "deal engine"
ReplyDeleteLiveDeal (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.

ReplyDelete$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. http://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item.aspx?bid=U-i1088467-U%3aLIVE-20140210&symbol=LIVE®ion=U

ReplyDeleteLiveDeal, 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.

ReplyDeleteLAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Feb 13, 2014) - LiveDeal Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE) ("LiveDeal" or the "Company"), a publicly traded company that operates livedeal.com, an innovative platform using geo-location to enable businesses to communicate real-time and publish instant offers to nearby consumers, today announced that it has launched livedeal.com in New York City. With over 42,000 eating and drinking locations and $33.6 billion in revenues, New York City represents a massive marketplace to leverage the livedeal.com platform.
livedeal.com successfully launched in San Diego and Los Angeles in Q4 of 2013, and San Francisco in early 2014 with over 1,000 restaurants leveraging the livedeal.com platform with real-time deals for bargain-savvy local consumers. Restaurants gain the ability to curate and control their own customized offers to customers via livedeal.com's unique, real-time "deal engine." Unlike daily deal publishers, individual customers transact directly with the restaurant thereby eliminating LiveDeal as an intermediary in the sale. LiveDeal Inc. plans to continue its expansion into major metropolitan regions throughout 2014.
"New York City is the heart and soul of a major marketplace where we believe that livedeal.com will flourish," said Jon Isaac, President and CEO of LiveDeal. "Our platform is thriving because it drives business to merchants in a manner that is unlike what they have with the typical daily-deal service. We believe that clients realize tremendous value in our solution because they have more control and choice than they have had before. We think New York City was the next logical city to launch the livedeal.com platform and that New York City is ready to capitalize on this," Mr. Isaac continued.

$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.
ReplyDeleteEarlier 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.

(NASDAQ: LIVE) ("LiveDeal" or the "Company"), a publicly traded company that operates livedeal.com, an innovative platform using geo-location to enable restaurants to communicate and publish real-time and instant offers to nearby consumers, today announced that it will commence its national media rollout live on the Howard Stern Show on Sirius XM Radio within the coming weeks.

With the recent expansion of www.livedeal.com in New York City, following success in San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco, the company is pushing forward with nationwide expansion to capture major cities in 2014. Kicking off the LiveDeal public awareness campaign on the Howard Stern Show provides an opportunity to potentially reach millions of middle income restaurant goers who represent the ideal demographic for the LiveDeal restaurant mobile deal platform.
Jon Isaac, President and CEO of LiveDeal, said, "We could not be more excited to unveil our national media rollout live on the Howard Stern Show to both Howard and his millions of adoring fans." He continued, "Our user base is synonymous with the Howard Stern demographic, and reaching this audience is a testament to our popularity and unique appeal."
What is livedeal.com?
livedeal.com is a unique, real-time "deal engine" connecting 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, 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) or via the LiveDeal App, which is scheduled to be released in March 2014.

ReplyDelete$LIVE - LiveDeal Mobile Popularity Set to Explode with Addition of Apple and Android Apps
ReplyDeleteNEW 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.

ReplyDelete$LIVE - new research update on online deal pioneer LiveDeal, Inc.
ReplyDeleteBALTIMORE, 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 http://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."

ReplyDelete$LIVE - LiveDeal, Inc. User Traffic Explodes as Consumers Adopt the Instant Marketplace Platform
ReplyDelete2014-03-11 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."

$LIVE - LiveDeal Inc. Announces Plans to Open livedeal.com to All Cities Worldwide to Meet Increased Demand from Restaurants and Consumers
ReplyDeleteLAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 12, 2014-- LiveDeal Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE) ("LiveDeal" or the "Company"), is 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. The Company today announced that it is engineering the LiveDeal mobile marketing platform in order to make it available to consumers and restaurants internationally to meet the demand for such services that we have received in response to our launches. The expected April launch of the updated platform is considered by the company to be a re-launch of LiveDeal.com.
The recent successful launch of the LiveDeal.com mobile marketing deal engine in four major US cities (San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City) has created a veritable flood of enthusiastic inquiries. Both restaurants and consumers have requested livedeal.com in their own city, including cities from all over the world.
This demand has prompted LiveDeal management to accelerate development of an updated LiveDeal platform to prepare for this national and international growth. The updated platform will include a robust feature set that will enable worldwide adoption. An intuitive search feature will also be added as part of the feature set, which will enable users to search for great places to dine both locally and in other cities. Furthermore, the mobile iOS and Android apps, which are slated to be released in the coming weeks, will include global search capability so that consumers can view deals in any city on their mobile device.
Jon Isaac, President and CEO of LiveDeal commented; "We are very pleased at the pace with which nationwide and international demand is accelerating and attribute this to the desire among consumers and restaurants to have an almost effortless process in which to create and redeem deals." He added, "We believe that the ease of use of our platform is attracting consumers and restaurants that may have found currently available deal platforms to be cumbersome for users and too expensive for restaurants."

ReplyDelete$LIVE Technology to Be Valued on Its Future Potential in the Online Deal Industry
ReplyDeleteNEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 03/20/14 LiveDeal, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE) has generated a lot of attention since entering the online deal space and that attention has been well deserved. The company's instant, real-time concept makes more sense for users than the model used by long-time industry leaders like Groupon and others. Quite simply when business owners need more customers, they will create a promotion with an online deal site to help introduce their brand to potential consumers. LiveDeal launched its online deal platform in the restaurant industry, and with it, it's giving those restaurants the opportunity to reach customers immediately and in real-time.
The introduction of this instant, real-time model gives www.livedeal.com plenty of potential as an on-going technology platform into the future. LiveDeal recently announced that it is ramping up its deal procurement team so that it can quickly grab market share. It is clear that the first step the company is taking is to build an audience. In technology, the name of the game is potential. Instagram, for instance, had 30 million users when it was acquired, but to arrive at a fair value for acquisition, the technology's future potential had to be included in the evaluation. Instagram has proven that potential with close to 150 million users.
In technology, since most platforms are so scalable, those looking to acquire these technologies project 2, 3 and 5-years out in time to see where the product could be, and usually pay a multiple based on future potential, not actual results at the time. This bodes well for LiveDeal and its online and mobile deal engine, livedeal.com.
LiveDeal seems to understand that the name of the game is potential and that building a technology's popularity by increasing its number of users could equate to more and more dollars in the company's future. With each major city that the company has added to its platform, there is the market to add thousands of new restaurants to create promotions and potentially millions of new consumers to view and use those real-time deals.
Because LiveDeal's platform gives the restaurant owner all of the control, creates a direct relationship between merchant and consumer and eliminates the middleman by letting consumers pay for the promotions found on livedeal.com directly to the restaurant, the platform has to be taken seriously in the industry.
Other online deal sites in the industry don't offer all of these advantages, so using a media campaign to drive more and more users to the company's platform should only serve to make this model the way merchants advertise promotions and consumers find their deals well into the future.

ReplyDelete$LIVE Adds Over 120 Restaurant Sales Professionals With Menu1.com Partnership
ReplyDeleteNEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 04/08/14 LiveDeal (NASDAQ: LIVE) chose the restaurant industry to launch its instant, real-time deal engine, www.livedeal.com, and since that time it has been plodding along perfecting its model one piece at a time. The company's recent strategic partnership with www.Menu1.com is another such example which should lead to explosive restaurant participation nationwide. And, unlike others in the industry who are hiring, training and paying large sales teams, LiveDeal has essentially outsourced its way into a staff that fully understands the restaurant industry.
Menu1.com is a rapidly expanding online menu ordering system with a proven national sales force of more than 120 restaurant field service consultants and 20 regional sales managers capable of covering all of the continental US, as well as, larger chain and international restaurants.
With approximately 1,500 to 2,000 restaurants in each territory, Stock Market Media Group interviewed Menu1.com CEO Patrick Morrissey and found that he is confident his company will increase restaurant expansion for LiveDeal. "We offer the LiveDeal program as an 'included value-added feature' of the Menu1 program, where the restaurant will automatically be enrolled into the LiveDeal program, whether they ultimately sign up for the Menu1 program or not. We feel that our national sales force could be the driving force behind enrolling the vast majority of all restaurants into the LiveDeal program."
For both Menu1 and LiveDeal it's the experience Menu1.com's team has in the industry that should lead to both companies increasing growth and name recognition. Morrissey said, "Each sales team member is a seasoned restaurant consultant with years of relationships with hundreds of restaurant operators within each of their respective territories. Menu1 also has exclusive marketing contracts with key national restaurant service providers that fuel enrollments into both our programs."
One of the biggest expenses that any online deal company faces is the cost of employees. Groupon, for example, has hired and trained a sales team of more than 10,000 people, so multiply Groupon's sales force by even a reasonable salary, and the numbers are astronomical making it all the more clear why LiveDeal has taken the more responsible approach to outsource.
While LiveDeal continues to grow the number of users on its platform with the addition of tools like the Android App and a nationwide media campaign, the addition of Menu1.com's national sales team should exponentially drive restaurant growth in current cities like Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco and San Diego and expand livedeal.com to many other cities in the US as well.
Menu1's CEO called livedeal.com the breakthrough marketing concept that his restaurant clients have been asking for. "LiveDeal is truly the first real 'deal engine' of its kind for the restaurant industry, unlike other restaurant coupon sites that offer deals in 'slow-time,' LiveDeal offers local restaurant deals in 'real-time,' right now."

ReplyDelete$LIVE - LiveDeal Inc. Forecasts Gains in First Quarter Revenues 4/10/14
ReplyDeleteLiveDeal Inc. (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 expects revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to have increased over the previous quarter, ended December 31, 2013.
The Company expects to file its financial report for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, by May 15th and preliminary numbers indicate a gain in top-line revenue compared to the same period in the prior year. LiveDeal continues to demonstrate strong growth with its flagship technology and the Company’s “grow your audience” approach that many technologies employ to gain users and increase popularity. In 2014 the Company enjoyed record numbers in each successive month validating the use of LiveDeal’s growth model. The Company expects that as the size of its audience continues to grow, there should be a direct correlation between audience size and revenue growth. LiveDeal is in the early stages of experiencing that growth.
Jon Isaac, President and CEO of LiveDeal commented, "I am encouraged by our increased revenues as we finish off the first three months of 2014. I am equally pleased that our Velocity Local™ brand continues to make strides in generating cashflow while we continue to expand our restaurant consumer audience using our online and mobile deal engine livedeal.com.” He added, “The growth of our user base should soon allow us the ability to monetize the LiveDeal platform by offering restaurants premium listings as well as other potential revenue streams.”

$LIVE LiveDeal, Inc. Following Familiar Revenue Model; Monetizing Deal Engine Is Next
ReplyDeleteNEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 04/11/14 LiveDeal (NASDAQ: LIVE) is currently following a growth model that will lead to monetizing its unique, real-time "deal engine" www.livedeal.com that connects merchants with consumers and drive more revenue into the company. In order to create a platform it can, in fact, monetize the company is following a tried and true model that calls for traffic and lots of it.
Basically the company's business model calls for increasing the number of cities where the deal engine will launch, and in each of those cities, the goal is to grow restaurant participation on its platform. At the same time, LiveDeal will drive users to livedeal.com who will then benefit from the promotions those participating restaurants present to consumers in real-time.
Had Facebook been a publicly traded company when the social network launched in 2004, most wouldn't have given it a chance to be an almost $120 billion company as it is today. Ten years later most of Facebook's revenue comes from advertising, and that revenue is possible because it built a popular platform that generated millions of users. Of its more than 1.2 billion users, almost a billion are mobile users.
In LiveDeal's model, adding more cities to its online and mobile site will ideally lead to adding more restaurants which in turn, will lead to adding more users, and it is those users who will increase traffic to livedeal.com.
Once LiveDeal builds significant daily traffic, it can then parlay that traffic into revenue through advertising and a pay-per-click model that restaurants can use to gain a premium listing on the platform in their local areas.
The company's strategic partnership with www.Menu1.com will grow the number of restaurants participating on the platform and assist LiveDeal in introducing its product into new cities and metropolitan areas around the US. Meanwhile, the newly launched Android app and the eventual launch of its iOS app will make it easier for on-the-go consumers to find the restaurant promotions on livedeal.com.
So, there is a method to the madness at LiveDeal and when advertising opportunities and competing restaurants vying for premium placement of their promotions in cities all across the US generate additional revenue streams, the current process of adding cities, restaurants, and users will all make sense.
