As the festive season approaches and we come closer to the end of 2013, we look back on what has been a wonderful year and reflect on how well our business has done (together with you). And we look forward to an even better year in 2014.
This is a season when we celebrate with friends and family and be thankful for what we have, whilst looking forward to a prosperous future and good health, wealth and happiness for those that are dear to us. And it is on this note that we would like to raise a glass to all our partners and wish you all good health, wealth and happiness for years to come.

What‘s new this month

November has been a particularly busy month for us. With new launches, new hires (we are growing our team and still have few vacancies to fill) and the wonderful Curacao Online Dating Summit and iDate San-Paolo events.

Our COO, Lisa Moskotova, at final panel debate @ iDate Sao Paulo.
Our CEO, Tanya Fathers was busy networking on the Curacao beach with other industry execs looking for new opportunities. A huge thanks to all of you who were able to make it there.

UK focus month
Growth in the UK marketplace is the big focal point this month. Our team in the UK Office is busy 24/7, helping the rapidly growing number of affiliates and customers. Our new UK based Call Centre has been a great success and is proving to be very effective, covering calls in English, German, French, Spanish, Swedish and Portuguese.
To further support our UK growth plans we welcome on board the UK-based white label platform owners www.affiliatedating.net, who have entered an agreement with DF, for us now to become their technology provider for their affiliates and partners.
That’s more UK traffic, more UK users and better conversions.

The latest news for members:

Doubling your members’ chances to meet that perfect partner and adding extra revenue for you too
We are now introducing an exciting new option that will open the door wider for members across many niche markets to find love on your site.
Users will be offered complimentary memberships on additional niches across the network. The selection is made based on the users criteria and certain niche restriction rules (closed niches will remain as closed niches). This functionality will allow you to get additional revenue from the same registerd user, who may now pay on a few different niches at the same time. We have ran tests on selected websites and no negative impact was identified.

Christmas is all around
This year we have several special winter offers for members.
The Christmas countdown started on December 1 and will go on until December 21, then to be followed by an even more enticing Christmas offer.
You bring the traffic and we will convert them with these fantastic offers throughout the holiday season.

More user-friendly experience for users with special needs
One of our fastest growing niches, we have made some substantial improvements to our product for users with disabilities across the Disabled niche-market. One of the main focuses here was to adjust the emails to make them more user-friendly.

And the update continues…

We are continuing to update the portfolio of templates available to you. Use them while they are hot:
