LivingSocial Launches Hyperlocal Daily Deals in Washington, D.C. and New York City
DC and NYC Residents are First to Receive Extremely Localized Discount Offers for Restaurants, Spas, Outdoor Adventure and Other Regional Attractions
WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 2 -- Leading group buying site LivingSocial today expanded its Deals program to include neighborhood-specific savings for the first time. Recognizing that some residents like to shop, dine and play in their immediate area, LivingSocial kicks the program off with hyper-targeted deals in three regions of the D.C. area and four in New York City. LivingSocial is now live in 64 markets and 3 countries. In D.C., residents and visitors can explore localized offers from businesses in The District, Montgomery County and Northern Virginia. In New York City, discounts on restaurants, spas, boutiques, bakeries and more will be available for customers in Uptown, Midtown, Downtown and Brooklyn.
LivingSocial users who currently receive Deals in the New York and Washington, D.C. areas will have a choice between receiving neighborhood-specific deals or all deals available in their metro area.
"The new localized Deals program will bring more relevant offers to users, providing savings on their favorite neighborhood restaurants, bars, spas and shops," said Tim O'Shaughnessy, CEO and co-founder of LivingSocial. "We're particularly excited to launch this program in our hometown of Washington, D.C., and in New York City, where we know that if you live in Tribeca, sometimes the Upper West Side might as well be in another state."
As the premier local activity discovery engine, LivingSocial is the website where anyone can find out what shops, restaurants, activities and services are popular in their area. The group buying service has dedicated city experts on the ground in every market, constantly researching the best in local attractions to bring a savings of up to 90% for consumers.
