$LIVE - official launch of DealCentral, the first online deal portal allowing restaurants to instantly create, modify, pause and play and publish offers and deals
LAS 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."
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 thereby attracting customers to slower
locations while eliminating potential over-crowding at busier sites; 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).
