Deem Announces 280 Percent Quarter-over-Quarter Growth

SAN FRANCISCO, April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Deem, the leading Commerce-as-a-Service (CaaS) company, today announced record Q1 results across all key growth metrics and the addition of more than 4,000 new business customers. Deem achieved consistently strong growth across all areas of its unique business commerce network in Q1, led by a 280 percent increase in quarterly bookings and a 325 percent increase in average annual contract value (ACV). Deem also saw major improvement in several other key areas including a 64 percent reduction in customer acquisition costs (CAC).

Deem's growth is being fueled by continued innovation and adoption across its full suite of save, sell and syndication applications.

"Six quarters after regaining our independence and three quarters after securing growth capital, Deem is back to a high-growth and disruptive position in the market. In January I sent a letter to Deem shareholders in which I outlined Deem's 2015 objectives and promised renewed focus on our three core value propositions," said Patrick Grady, Founder and CEO of Deem. "Delivering a record first quarter is just the first step in fulfilling those promises and I can say with confidence that looking at our pipeline of product innovations and customer demand that we're just getting warmed up in 2015."
