This Valentine's Day, people looking to take the next step in a romance may begin with a live online chat.

NEW YORK, NY - February 6, 2007 - LivePerson, Inc., (NASDAQ: LPSN) a provider of online conversion solutions, today announced that live Internet chat has grown increasingly popular with companies offering products and services related to dating, courtship, weddings and relationships. Live chat is a hosted application that enables website visitors to conduct a live, text-based conversation with service or sales representatives during an online session.

"People invest a great deal of emotion when shopping for Valentine's Day gifts, engagement rings or planning a wedding or honeymoon - and prefer to interact with a real person before making a purchasing decision," said LivePerson CEO Robert LoCascio. "Live chat responds to this need and has been adopted by companies serving the entire lifecycle of a relationship."

Small business owners are looking forward to a brisk online shopping season this February. According to a survey conducted by Constant Contact, 64 percent of small business owners anticipate stronger online sales this Valentine's Day - with flowers once again expected to be the most popular gift(1). To maximize the value of this increased traffic, small businesses are also leveraging chat to increase the percentage of visitors on their sites that make a purchase. According to Shop.org, e-tailers typically convert 2.4 percent(2) of their browsers to buyers - while visitors who engage in a live chat convert at rates exceeding 20 percent.

LivePerson provides live online chat to more than 5,000 companies worldwide, including the following examples:

  * People looking to start a relationship can chat about their ideal match
    on sites such as Indian dating service Bharat Matrimony
    (www.bharatmatrimony.com) and Frumster (www.frumster.com), a Jewish
