July 03, 2014

LAS VEGAS, NV— June 3, 2014 - LiveDeal Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE) ("LiveDeal" or the "Company"), a publicly traded company that operates www.livedeal.com, a geo-location based mobile marketing platform that enables restaurants to publish “real-time” and “instant offers” to nearby consumers, announces the launch of a 35 city advertising campaign to support the restaurant owners who have created more than 10,000 deals in over 8,000 restaurants in those 35 cities.

The Company will immediately initiate a multi-layer advertising campaign supporting the 35 markets that LiveDeal is currently active in to date.  The campaign which includes TV, Radio and web-based ad delivery is designed to expand awareness, increase user registrations and drive traffic into the restaurant locations that are utilizing the LiveDeal real-time “deal engine” that is connecting merchants with consumers. 

Jon Isaac, President and CEO at LiveDeal, said of the support the ad campaign will bring, “As we continue to increase our user base, our platform becomes increasingly more valuable to the growing number of restaurants that have chosen what we believe to be the superior functionality and merchant control that LiveDeal offers them over traditional coupon and voucher sites. So, to support the restaurant owners who are choosing a smarter way to promote themselves, and to continue to grow our user base, it is vital for us to quickly roll out an advertising campaign in each of these 35 cities and each major city we add along the way.”

In addition to New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego, LiveDeal will immediately launch campaigns in Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Seattle, Boston, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Memphis, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Miami, Orlando, Baltimore, Charlotte, Columbus, Jacksonville, Austin, Milwaukee, Nashville, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Denver, Albuquerque, Fresno, Long Beach, Sacramento, San Jose, Tucson, Portland and Honolulu.

LiveDeal understands the value of increased exposure for the merchants who have embraced its real-time deal platform and its ease of use and superior functionality, so the Company has committed to supporting both its users and the restaurant owners who promote through the platform.

Isaac added, “We believe that increasing the exposure of the restaurant base to the consumer market is the key to the extraordinary market expansion that Live Deal is experiencing currently. So it is now incumbent upon us to advertise our platform’s advantages and continue its tremendous growth to support the restaurants who have chosen LiveDeal in every one of these cities. 

No longer does a restaurant owner have to create an offer that is valid for weeks on end and worry that the promotion will all be redeemed on their busiest days of the week. Instead, restaurants can now offer much better deals to the consumer through our platform knowing they have complete control of their own offer and the timing and duration of that offer in real time.”
