“Match.com will control the entity’s operations”
Match, Meetic and Be2 had been spending millions of U.S. Dollars since years and until now they do not understand the Latin & South American culture.
Latin & South Americans are not going to subscribe to sites like Match, Meetic and Be2
because:
– Latin & South Americans do mostly not have credit cards.
– The ones who have credit cards, do mostly not use them for subscriptions.
– In Latin & South Americans countries, it is full of free/cheap low quality online dating proposals powered from local newspapers and they look the same like the ones offered by Match, Meetic and Be2.
The last innovation at Match, was during 2005, 5 long years ago, when they decided to contact Dr. Helen Fisher to design the Chemistry site.
Since then, they had been resting in the laurels of past glories, adding superfluous marketing bells and whistles and not innovating at all to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.
IAC’s Personals (Match, Chemistry, SinglesNet, Peoplemedia communities, Udate) reached operating ceiling, no matter what they try, they are not going to cross the barrier of (and sustain) more than 2,000,000 paying subscribers.
