Start a Traditional Offline Dating Agency or Become a Matchmaker
What is a traditional offline dating agency? A traditional offline dating agency is an agency that interviews all its potential members before joining and takes out identity checks. Personal matchmakers follow the same procedure. A dating agency will normally have a database of existing members, but matchmakers join other matchmaking groups and tend to rely upon connections within their groups apart from advertising.
If you are thinking about starting your own business and you enjoy meeting people, then we are your first port of call for finding out the sort of information that is not always readily available within the dating industry. We are more than happy to help and advise you on every aspect of the process. Why are we doing this ? Our knowhow and expertise can protect you from many of the pitfall’s agencies experience in the first years of trading. For example, very few people are aware that dating is seasonal, so therefore with this valuable information you can gauge your advertising campaigns accordingly ! Simply go to www.startadatingagency.com for quick answers to your questions on how to begin your journey.
The Dating Agency Association together with Start A Dating Agency also provides a Consultancy Service package, that includes a training course of two days or longer if you wish. For further details contact us at info@datingagencyassociation.org.uk
Raising standards within the dating industry is something we wish to try and achieve, by passing on important information due our personal experiences of running our own successful dating agencies. Competition is healthy and keeps us all on our toes with the ultimate aim of providing genuine services for people who wish to meet people, for all the right reasons within a protective environment. The offline dating industry provides such an environment, still relatively unknown to many people and greatly differs from the online dating industry by way of protection.
