Dating Factory at Internet Dating Conference (iDate) in Los Angeles

The iDate conference took place in Los Angeles last month, from June 20-22nd at the lovely SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. Dating Factory was a Silver Sponsor for the event, and we were pleased to participate both as presenters and exhibitors. Our USA based partners had a chance to meet Tanya Fathers, Dating Factory’s CEO, as well as our USA based team – Moreno Aguiari, Connor Young and Richard Buss.

Special thanks to those of you who attended our presentation on the 20th. It was an opportunity for us to talk in person about the unique advantages of our private label dating services and mobile white label platform, and to pass on some of our insights and experience to you. We have video clips from the presentation that will be made available shortly, so watch for updates – we will let you know when they are online.

The Dating Factory exhibit welcomed a steady stream of visitors throughout iDate, and we appreciated all of your kind comments and excellent questions. It was a pleasure to meet with our partners both present and future, and we look forward to our continued participation at future iDate conferences.

Turkish market launch and new high-growth opportunities

Turkey has 72 million citizens and offers a significant online dating business growth opportunity. There were 35 million internet users in Turkey (44% of the population) in December 2011 (Internet World Stats). Turkey came third in user engagement in Europe. Turkish users spend on 32.7 hours online per month on average (the UK is top with 35 hours) (comScore, October 2011)

The Turkish population is also quite young with over 50% below the age of 29, and the most represented age group on the internet are individuals 25 to 34 years old. Matrimonial services are popular in other Muslim countries throughout the world but traditional Internet dating services are growing fast now. This means that Internet dating has a lot of potential within the Turkish market in the traditional Internet dating format that we offer.

We also should not discount the Turkish diaspora across the world. Especially in Germany and across Europe. This also contributes to the Turkish dating market potential.

Turkish language launch and new opportunities

Turkish is the 18th language Dating Factory has launched. We are by far the most international white label dating platform in the world. Grab your chance now while the market is still growing and launch your new Turkish dating site.

Other updates

We’d also like to mention the new updated version of our white label Mobile solution that works even better on feature phones and even old phones with outdated browsers. We have also upgraded video formats throughout the platform so it is possible to play on site videos on any devices without plugins having to be installed.

We have also improved the CRM to users who are using non-recurring payment methods so they stay engaged with the sites and do not forget to renew their membership. Swiss users are now able to pay into the Swiss Post office bank accounts, which has increased conversion rates in Switzerland by a further 0.7%.

We are currently working on even more updates to continually improve conversions and end user interfaces and logic, and will be reporting on work in progress in the next. We’re here for you! 🙂
