THE DATING WORLD
The dating world is nothing short of chaotic. There is an estimated 54,000,000 single people on Earth. Everyone on the planet is walking around town hoping that they are going to get lucky one day and bump into the man or woman of their dreams. People live in a world where everything is expected to happen by chance and they have no control over the situation. Sure, one can dress a certain way to catch the eye of a passerby or even frequent any number of establishments that cater to the “singles” crowd to increase their chances, but ultimately they have zero control. This doesn’t even begin to acknowledge their friends who introduce them to people they deem to be “perfect” for them.
But what if there were a way for an individual to take back some of their control? A way that they could pick and choose from a number of both appealing and, more importantly, available people. Imagine the sense of pride and power one could exude with this ability. Thus enters the world of online dating. Now online dating isn’t anything new. It has been around for as many years as the amazing invention that love to call the Internet. Anyone with access to a computer can easily find a number of sites that are available to them to begin their searches for “the one.” But it is also the easy access and availability that makes this venture difficult to navigate.
INTRODUCTION TO THE SITE
What may be the most difficult aspect of checking out a new website is that there is no way for the clients to view the website itself unless they pay the membership fees that are required of them. They are not made aware of the features and functions nor the layout of the website to see if it is even something that they will be interested in using.
With Con/Key Dating service, there is a video that is presented to the client before they have to do anything at all. They do not have to pay any money up front; they can simply watch the video. This introduction will cover all aspects including, the website layout, filling out a profile, messaging and emailing a potential date and then shifting to the “First Date” feature wherein the video dating service will be explained in depth to the client. All of this is made available to them, without any money up front. Con/Key Dating Service applies to all members of the community. Gay, Straight, Bisexual and Transgender can all join and look for potential life partners.
MONETARY WORRIES
Many sites begin with a “free” option. This allows the clients to spend time filling out their profiles. Typically clients, who are serious, will spend between 30 – 60 minutes filling out these profiles. They want to ensure that they are presenting the best version of themselves as possible. However, after all this time is spent, they are then required to pay for a full membership fee in order to even be able to talk with any of the other clients. The frustration here comes from the amount of time that they invest into their profiles feels wasted and rather than stay with the site, they leave. EHarmony alone requires a payment of 191.00 for the full year of service.
Con/Key however, only requires a simple $5.00 startup fee in the beginning, which is charged each month. Once this five dollars is paid, they are able to fill out their profile taking as much or as little time as they need. Furthermore, their profile will not become visible to others until they are good and ready for it. They will be bale to browse through the numerous clients available, send emails, look through photos and hold conversations over out monitored instant messaging service.
“FIRST DATE”
This feature is what sets Con/Key truly apart from the rest of the online dating world. This feature is in place to allow two people to meet, without all of the confusion and awkwardness of meeting for the first time in public. This also ensures that each client is who he or she says they are and who they are presenting themselves to be. When two clients have connected, they have the option to have a first date through our webcam system. Now this video date is setup and monitored by members of our staff to ensure that there are no problems. Absolutely no sexual content of any kind can take place. There is a $10.00 charge for this feature. But if the two clients connect, they can choose to go on a date in person. If they take pictures, and post and fill out our “Date Diary,” each client will receive $10.00 back to them.
We are trying to limit the amount of money a client pays to use our service, but by doing this we are also ensuring that clients are coming back and using the site to it’s fullest potential. As the saying goes “money talks” and this acts as a great incentive to ensure that people are coming back and filling out all aspects of the site, which adds to the data that we are able to monitor. Furthermore, the monthly charge will act as an incentive to keep people coming back and taking advantage of everything that Con/Key has to offer.
CONCLUSION
Dating is a difficult enough task in this world then to have to tackle it online in a seemingly endless amount of sites that all seem to cater to them. By providing and in-depth introduction to all features on the site, offering a much lower membership rate then the competitors, and working with the clients directly with our “First Date” features, Con/Key is going to take the world by storm.
