Canadian-Based Companies Dealfind and HealthMedica Announce Nationwide Promotion as Online Group-Buying Phenomenon Continues to Grow

TORONTO, Sept. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dealfind, the largest Canadian-owned group buying website in North America, today announced a new nationwide deal with HealthMedica, a leading medical health spa and rehabilitation company that provides a one stop shop for all spa and healthcare needs, including laser hair removal services.

A leading player in the North American daily deal space and the largest daily deal site in Canada, Dealfind offers a wide range of different daily deals, including health, wellness and beauty services, restaurant discounts, car care and travel/tourism opportunities.  The Toronto-based company, which has sold more than one million three hundred thousand vouchers and saved consumers almost $300 million, beat out competing sites, including Groupon and LivingSocial, to rank 86th in the Alexa.com Top 100 list.

Dealfind President Gary Lipovetsky said through group buying, Dealfind strives to foster communities of people who want to pay less and experience more nationwide. The HealthMedica national campaign is yet one more way to reach an even larger audience of consumers --- especially women --- on a national level, Lipovetsky said.

"We are very proud to bring this very much in-demand deal from a highly-regarded company like HealthMedica to our loyal female customers," he said. "It's another opportunity to cost-effectively gain new and repeat customers through smart online marketing and referral programs."

Dealfind connects consumers with local merchants. Online shoppers looking for a deal have 24 to 72 hours (depending on the day of the week) to purchase the Dealfind item of the day before the offer closes. In addition, Dealfind provides purchasers an incentive to make money by rewarding every customer referral with a portion of dollars earned by the company.

According to Dr. Banny Sohal of HealthMedica, Dealfind has brought HealthMedica thousands of quality customers in just a few short months. 

"As a nationally recognized brand, it's important for our company to be able to reach the many people who would benefit from our services," Sohal said. "The exposure that our brand receives on a regular basis to tens of thousands of Dealfind subscribers is unparalleled, which is why we welcomed Dealfind's new national campaign with open arms and full-tilt enthusiasm."

Dealfind was founded in May, 2010 by Gary Lipovetsky, President, and Michael Tulman, CEO, and was launched as a division of MenuPalace.com, an online restaurant directory that was founded in 1999.

Highlights of the new deal with HealthMedica include: $199 for one year of unlimited laser hair removal on three body parts, plus one chemical peel session at HealthMedica (up to $5,540 value). Dealfind and HealthMedica plan to run in the following Canadian locations: Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Mississauga, Brampton, Toronto, Hamilton, St. Catharines - Niagara, London, and Kitchener-Waterloo.
