Find out how a traditional brick-and-mortar matchmaking company managed to retain an online dating subscription site’s paying subscribers and get some of them to purchase offline matchmaking services valued at $3,000.
CHALLENGE
Paul Falzone, CEO, International Dating Ventures Inc., purchased the online dating subscription site, LoveAccess.com in 2008.
He planned to use the online subscription site and its 1 million existing subscribers to produce leads for a high-end matchmaking company, The Right One/Together, also owned by International Dating Ventures.
