TheDealist launches e-commerce platform for small businesses

Online, September 10, 2009 (Newswire.com) - theDealist (http://www.thedealist.com) - a recently launched e-commerce platform, features one great deal every day on New York City businesses and attractions. Along with a creative write-up, there is the option to buy a deal which can be used down the road to save money (often 50% off or more).

The daily features range from spas, restaurants/bars, theatre, sports, to off-the-beaten-path events and tours - but they are consistently worth experiencing and sure to save New Yorkers cash.

Local businesses benefit from the exposure and risk-free marketing. There is a minimum number of purchases required for the deal to be "on", which generates virality and a significant number of transactions in a short period of time. Overall theDealist offers a more accountable and effective marketing channel for local business owners.

Additional features include the ability for users to submit their deal requests, and to donate to local non-profits (further supporting the community feel).

Currently theDealist is focused on New York, but expects to be in several additional cities by the end of 2009.
