PRESS RELEASE -- July 17 -- Pre-date agreements have become more
commonplace in recent years. While not legally binding documents, these
agreements do put in writing the expectations people have of the other
person going into the date, during the date and in the aftermath. Paul
A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating said: "A pre-date
contract acts like a checklist for yourself to make sure you’re in a
good place to begin a relationship.” Things in the agreement include: punctuality, attire, terms of
discussion, physical contact, alcoholic intake, paying the bill, honest
post date feedback. FULL ARTICLE @ PR LOG

OPW -- July 7 -- The Wisconsin Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Great Expectations (GE) alleging that the Milwaukee-area branch of the national dating service engaged in “deceptive and illegal sales practices,” according to the Chicago Tribune. The Wisconsin DoJ suit specifically accuses the GE office of distorting its fees, embellishing its number of member marriages and defying the state’s no-call policy, according to the Tribune.
The Right One and Together Dating are competitors to GE and CEO Paul Falzone and owner Brad Megahan wrote in a June 25 memo “The Right One/Together Dating has always and will always conduct its business in an ethical manner.” Falzone and Megahan referenced the GE lawsuit: “Also mentioned in the investigation were high pressure sales tactics, such as holding onto a perspective member’s driver’s license and credit cards to prolong interview. We will not tolerate these practices at The Right One and Together Dating.” The pair went on to instruct all employees to review The Right One/Together Dating training curriculum, which details the organization’s ethics policies and proper business guidelines. They also reminded staff never to quote membership statistics, due to the constantly changing makeup of the company’s clientele.

PRESS RELEASE -- Apr 18 -- According to Paul A. Falzone, CEO
of The Right One and Together Dating, there is no best way to find love. It’s
all a matter of personal preference for the person doing the looking. Falzone
states, “Comfort level really is the deciding factor for most people when it
comes to choosing online dating or traditional matchmaking services.” Where
some people prefer the ability to browse through hundreds of profiles at their
leisure, others are more comfortable having someone else find the right person
for them. It’s up to each person to decide which is right for them. FULL ARTICLE @ THE RIGHT ONE PR

we’re in the age of technology, phone conversations are a must, says Paul A. Falzone, CEO The Right One and Together Dating.

MARKETING SHERPA -- Mar 4 -- Paul Falzone, CEO of International Dating
Ventures (IDV), purchased LoveAccess.com in 2008. He
planned to use the dating site to produce leads for a high-end
matchmaking company, The
Right One/TogetherDating. Falzone’s marketing team attracts online
subscribers for
LoveAccess.com and leads for The Right One/TogetherDating mostly through
affiliate/co-registration, paid search and SEO. “What’s important is to
identify if this user
qualifies for matchmaking,” says Terry Fitzpatrick, COO of IDV. The
team needs to know: Does the prospect live near one of the matchmaking
offices? Does the prospect earn enough to consider paying the $3,000
matchmaking fees? Is the prospect single? As a rule, the team won’t
email online dating subscribers about the
matchmaking services unless they have been in the database for 90 days.
“We give them 90 days just to find out … is online dating working?",
says Falzone. If it’s not, they’re asked if they would be
interested in matchmaking. The last step is a contact via phone. The
team generates ~15,000+ leads per month for the
telemarketing centers. Results: This year, 25% of gross revenue for
TRO/TD came from converting online
subscribers into offline matchmaking buyers. FULL ARTICLE @ MARKETING SHERPA

NY TIMES -- Feb 12 -- Online dating has had a following ever since dating sites popped up around '94, said Mark Brooks, editor of Online Personals Watch. The industry then started leveling off in Feb '05. "Now at a time when money is scarce or uncertain, they don't want to go through it alone," said Dr. Pepper Schwartz of Perfectmatch.com, which had a 51% increase in new members in the Q4 of '08 compared with '07. Speeddate.com's traffic is up 60%. "During recessions people stay at home more, they don't want to pay and go to bars. They're going online to meet each other," said Markus Frind, the CEO of Plentyoffish, a free site, where visits have increased 77% from Dec '07 to Dec '08, and 32% over the last three months. While "marriage" and "children" were always popular key words, Mr. Frind said, during this period last year Plentyoffish.com users mentioned the word "job" in their profiles 5.5% of the time. This year, that number has risen to 7.7%. On BlackPeopleMeet, the percentage of people listing "job" as a criterion when asked 'What are you looking for in a partner?' increased 18% from Jan '08 to Jan '09. Offline romance specialists say they are also seeing a spike in business. From Oct through Dec'08, new membership at The Right One/Together Dating, a dating service with 60 locations across the country, increased ~18% compared with the same period the previous year. The price of membership starts at $1,000. "People are putting down deposits rather than paying in full, which is fine," said CEO, Paul Falzone. FULL ARTICLE @ NY TIMES

SW TIMES -- Dec 29 -- Traditional dating is almost a thing of the past. But there is a lot to be said for
meeting a person face to face. Most experts claim that while the online sites may be good for
meeting people, it can't compare to actually meeting someone in person. "The
anonymity of many online dating sites may provide a slew of impersonal
introductions, but what happens when you get to the next step ...
meeting them in person?" asks Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating. "The ways of meeting someone have
changed, but the rules of behavior have not." Matchmaking companies do a lot more screening before they match
someone. Some dating sites offer virtual dating, where each person creates an
avatar and go on a virtual play date online. FULL ARTICLE @ SW TIMES

PRESS RELEASE -- Nov 20 -- Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and
Together Dating has a few tips to help you out of your dating rut
and create a fresh approach to dating in the new year. 'Dating is a lot
like when you learned to ride a bike when you were
a kid. Sure, you fell off the bike, but you kept getting
back on, never forgetting what made you fall off. Fortunately with
dating, you have the benefit of learning from others how not to fall
the next time,' said Falzone. Tips from Paul Falzone:
- Take
a look at your past relationships.
- Leave enough time between the end of one relationship and the
beginning of the next.
- Give new relationships proper time to develop.
- Long-term relationship lagging?
Do not sweep problems under the carpet.
