LivingSocial Middle East says its registered users have been growing by 30% to 50% per month. Of these registered users, some were shopping online for the very first time. “With the exceptions of ordering food and apparels, which you have to try on, most other goods can be purchased without being present in a shop. And with rapid technological advancement, such as the use of Microsoft’s Kinect motion technology, even this could change,” said LivingSocial managing director Dan Stuart.

LivingSocial recently launched its new mobile application for iPad and Android users, and says about 2% to 12% of all purchased goods have been sold via the use of the mobile app. According to Stuart, this "is a really good and positive movement forward, given that we just launched the application last week. The convenience it offers is that today, one can shop from anywhere with a mobile connectivity, be it sitting in a coffee shop or anywhere else”.
