Quote:LiveDeal.com, one of the nation's leading local online
classifieds sites, today announced the introduction of its new Premium
Store Program, ideal for volume sellers such as small business owners,
realtors, professional pet breeders and anyone seeking to build their
visibility and brand identities within LiveDeal's local online classifieds
marketplace. Priced at $9.95 a month, the Premium Store Program enables
sellers to create branded stores on LiveDeal.com to help drive more traffic
to their store, raise their LiveDeal profile and build relationships with
potential buyers.
"Our Premium Store Program is designed to create a 'Main Street' feel
between LiveDeal.com's buyers and volume sellers," said Rajesh Navar,
founder and CEO of LiveDeal.com. "By opening a Premium Store, sellers have
the opportunity to attach a 'name and face' to their listings by
communicating who they are, where they are located and how they can be
contacted. The end result is stronger buyer/seller relationships and, in
turn, stronger sales."
The benefit of being a LiveDeal.com Premium Store owner includes the
capability of building a branded store on LiveDeal.com that features a
company logo or store photo, as well as useful contact information such as
a company phone number, business hours and a map. Additionally, all
merchandise posted by LiveDeal Premium Stores receives the added visibility
of being viewed above LiveDeal's Free Listings as a Premium Listing.
Sellers can try Premium Stores at no charge for the first 30 days. In
addition to Premium Stores, LiveDeal will continue to offer Basic Stores at
no charge.
LiveDeal's New Premium Listings
With the addition of LiveDeal.com's new Premium Listings category,
LiveDeal.com sellers now have three ways to post an items for sale: 1) as a
Featured Listing, which is priced at $9.95 a month and appears as the first
group of items listed for sale in every category, 2) as a Premium Listing,
which is priced on a bid-for-placement model starting at $1.00 ($0.10 in
the merchandise category), or 3) as a Free Listing.
LiveDeal's Premium Listings provides sellers with an economical new way
to promote items above LiveDeal's Free Listings -- resulting in more buyers
viewing a listing (as much as 20x the traffic). With LiveDeal's Premium
Listings, just a few cents can put a seller's listings right where the
buyers are, up top and in front.
