A couple of posts ago, we mentioned the great Markus Frind, the young creator of the most successful online
dating business around ? PlentyofFish.com. His success, to the tune of $900,000.00 a month, can be attributed to many things. Among these success factors, one sure thing you can pick up from his experience is being dedicated to your members. Frind would ask each of his members personally how they are doing and how many dates they have been on. He connects with them to know how his
dating site is helping them and how else he can be of help to them. Being on a personal level with one's customers is rare in this day and age, but Frind does it and gets rewarded with his members' trust and loyalty.
So when you're starting your dating business, always place good customer service at the top of your daily agenda. Your members are not just numbers. They are real people with real concerns. It would be smart to check on them and see if they can navigate your site easily. Not everyone is computer and Internet-savvy. Make sure they are not having any problems with your site. And if they do, do not waste any time ? respond right away when they contact you. If you need staff to make sure all emails are answered at the speed of a bullet, then do so. You will be rewarded for taking members of your dating site seriously. One other thing to help you keep members of your own dating site coming back is newsletters. Send a weekly newsletter. It will remind your members to log-in regularly and check out any new dating profiles who have joined the site. Provide a direct link from your newsletter to your dating site that logs them into your dating site right away ?
Now, that's smart! In your newsletter, you can feature a couple of people from your site's dating profiles (with their permission, of course), tips for online dating, and FAQs. Whatever content you put in there, make sure that it helps your members. A regular newsletter shows that you really care about them. Lastly, be smart about the design of your dating site. You don't need animated graphics or the wildest colors to make your site attractive. Members and visitors are not there to stare at your design. They are supposed to feel right ? at home' and use it with ease. They are supposed to be signing up and dating already; do not devote so much time with out-of-this-world design features. Simple and smart goes a long way.
