LIVEDEAL.COM UNVEILS NEW PREMIUM AUTO DEALER PROGRAM
FOR LOCAL ONLINE CLASSIFIED SELLERS

New Online Classifieds Program Enables Auto Dealers to
Build Stronger Relationships with Local Online Car Buyers

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 22, 2006 – LiveDeal.com ( www.livedeal.com), one of the nation’s leading local online classifieds sites, today unveiled its new Premium Auto Dealer Program for volume auto sellers seeking to build their visibility and brand identities within LiveDeal’s local online classifieds marketplace. Priced at $74.95 a month, the Premium Store Program enables auto dealers to create branded stores with unlimited auto listings on LiveDeal.com to help drive more local traffic to their listings, raise their LiveDeal profile, build relationships with potential buyers, and even increase foot traffic to their brick and mortar business location.

“Our Premium Auto Dealer Program is designed to create a ‘Main Street’ feel between car dealers and LiveDeal.com auto buyers,” said Rajesh Navar, founder and CEO of LiveDeal.com. “By opening a Premium Store, auto dealers 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.”

LiveDeal’s Premium Auto Dealer Program provides a great way to inexpensively advertise a dealership and reach buyers locally. Along with unlimited auto listings, LiveDeal.com’s Premium Auto Dealer Program includes the capability of building a branded store on LiveDeal.com that features a dealer logo or dealership photo, as well as useful contact information such as a company phone number, business hours, and a map. Premium Stores dealers can also take advantage of bulk uploads and nightly data feeds directly from their inventory systems.

Additionally, all vehicles posted by LiveDeal’s Premium Auto Dealer Program members receive the added visibility of being viewed above LiveDeal’s Free Listings as a Premium 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).
