LiveDeal Inc. (NASDAQ:LIVE) LiveDeal Featured in Food & Drink Magazine Article entitled “Going Live”
June 04, 2014LAS VEGAS, May 4, 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 announces that it was featured in Summer edition of Food & Drink magazine.
The story, titled “Going Live,” outlines the origins and approach of LiveDeal’s business model. Beginning in San Diego, and eventually expanding to San Francisco, New York and other localities, the company provides real-time, direct contact, daily deals with local restaurants that allow consumers to receive discounts at their favorite eateries.
Importantly, the magazine recognized the prime directive of LiveDeal’s approach, highlighting that “the idea behind LiveDeal.com is to be a real-time deal engine that connects merchants with consumers, [providing] restaurants with full control and flexibility to instantly publish customized offers whenever they wish to attract customers.” This is in contrast to many deal sites that rely on the customers coming to them through unlimited vouchers and a more “evergreen approach.”
Further, the article emphasized that while LiveDeal allows the venues to financially benefit in closer to real time though limited time specials and other advantages, its platform makes it unnecessary for LiveDeal to maintain personal information from its users.

“We are very proud of this feature in Food & Drink, as it reflects the effort we have made to become one of the best online deal venues, and arguably the best in the restaurant space,” said Jon Isaac, CEO of LiveDeal, Inc. “We are excited to share this feature in such an influential publication with our investors and users, and believe that it demonstrates a certain level of success. We look forward to continuing to build on that success.”
