LAS VEGAS, NV—March 24, 2014 - LiveDeal 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 has formed a strategic alliance with Menu1 LLC, owners and operators of www.Menu1.com, a rapidly expanding online menu ordering system that will provide a boost to LiveDeal’s nationwide restaurant signup effort.

Leveraging Menu1.com's sales force and thousands of restaurant clients in over 100 cities and metro areas throughout the US, this alliance will help to rapidly expand LiveDeal’s restaurant acquisition effort in a number of major US cities. With recent successful launches in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City, LiveDeal is poised for exponential growth and sees this marketing alliance as an integral part of its growth plan.

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.
