DatingFactory.com has announced they are experiencing increased demand for their dating affiliate program in the United States and Canada. DatingFactory.com recently earned a top of the year dating affiliate program nomination by YNot and Xbiz. In addition, the company has been a consistent finalist in the best dating software competition held by iDate, the leading dating show organizer in America.

According to Tanya Fathers, CEO of DatingFactory.com, there have been numerous changes amongst the leading companies providing dating affiliate programs for North America. Affiliates are finding it difficult to make returns from larger established general dating sites and smaller providers are struggling to reach critical mass to be meaningful enough for this market. By directing traffic to niches, affiliates maximise their marketing spend and achieve higher conversions. Pooling of the database helps in reaching the membership numbers to make the sites interesting to subscribers.

DatingFactory.com launched its platform in September 2009 with a focus on Europe, but the high quality of the product has led to worldwide recognition. The company has been nominated by major dating and affiliates organisations in North America, including the top of the year dating affiliate program nomination by YNot and Xbiz. In the last few months DatingFactory has launched a number of high profile dating sites for Canada: dating.ca, people.ca, lesbians.ca, as well as increasing traffic in some well-established niches like disableddating.ca, singlechristians.ca, seniordating.ca

Tanya Fathers, CEO of DatingFactory.com says: “Why Canada? This country historically has lots of high profile internet businesses and the high standard of our product and services meets their expectations. Our multilingual platform caters for both English and the French Canadian population. Starting from Canada, our natural expansion for the next year is going to be USA. DatingFactory.com is in a lucky position to be in high demand at the moment and we are increasing our staff and expanding our offices to be able to cover new geographical areas.

“A good portion of our global data base is USA and Canada already, and on-going acquisitions of small to medium dating websites have built up critical mass to be attractive for the affiliates and private label (co-brand) partners, who want to run their own business in North America. People enrolled in our dating affiliate program can promote high converting websites and achieve good returns on marketing spend. Another feature that makes our platform very attractive and way ahead of the competition – is the ability to add 3d party advertising to all the internal pages of the dating websites on our platform with a share of 50 % of revenue from anything that is advertised to the member’s data base with our partners. A nice bonus that means quite a lot when every cent counts and the traffic acquisition costs keep growing. “

DatingFactory.com was established in 2009 and provides private label dating platform to more than 8 000 web businesses worldwide, DatingFactory.com operates in 15 languages, 40 niches, and has a global data base of millions.

Be Realistic - An online dating profile is not the place to create a great work of fiction. The more realistic you are when describing yourself and your interests and desires, not to mention your expectations in a potential dating partner, the greater the chances of you finding someone that you will be compatible and happy with. Play up your strengths without lying or overdoing things.

2.
Be Honest - Don't lie about your looks, your status, or your accomplishments. Sure, I think everybody would love to change or "dress up" certain areas of their lives. Nobody is perfect, and most people wouldn't mind being a little closer to perfection than they currently are. But when creating an online dating profile, describe your "as is" self instead of your "potential" or "desired" self. Describe your hopes and desires and dreams, but be realistic and honest about your current situation and lot. Be as descriptive and honest as possible.

3.
Post a Current Picture of Yourself - Sure, you might have had a set of six-pack abs or thighs of steel ten years ago, but if things have changed(for the flabbier or saggier), don't use an outdated and stale photograph of you from the Clinton administration. Post a current and accurate snapshot of what you look like now!

4.
Make a Pithy Profile - In other words, don't turn your dating profile into an essay or a rambling treatsie on life and death. The best online dating profiles are short, sweet and crisp; they are big on accurate and honest descriptions yet small on fluff! Long, rambling dating profiles tend to get passed over quickly. Think of your profile as just a hook that draws someone in. Fill your profile with basic facts about yourself as well as what you are looking for and what you like; save your deeper, more in-depth intricacies, views, and opinions for when you are actually dating a person and allowing them a window into your more private and inner being.

Remember, upload photos and videos ( the video does not have to be of you but something of interest to you )

It is important that throughout the whole year,i pay attention to what her needs are and what she wants.I find it quite easy to read between the lines,for those indicators that tell me of her wants and needs as the year rolls on.I mostly go with what she needs as opposed to what she wants.When we go out shopping i pay special attention to what she likes,looks at and wishes for.I watch and make mental notes of what she likes to wear on a regular basis,especially clothes and jewelry.I want the Valentines Day gift to be a personal one to her and definitely not an item that we both can use.Items like furniture for the home or communial gifts will not work i learned that the hard way.A personal gift solely for her is what she wants.

I do not gift items that are perishable,i combine them all,flowers,a card,jewelry or clothing and most of all an outing not to the next door beer hole or anything local but somewhere a little off the way from our locality.We spend the night out of the house and i make all the arrangements making sure that i do not do the same thing every year.She might expect a night out on V-Day but she will never know where.

My lady loves clothes and jewelry as indicated above,nothing extravagant but something that she can wear and recall where it came from.I am not a patient shopper but as the year goes by,i browse through different websites for something that catches my eye.I do not necessarily purchase my valentines day gifts in February,if something catches my eye and the price is right,i will make make the purchase at any time of the year and all i have to do is make sure it is well hidden.As i said before,once i see something that she would love i make the purchase and if i feel that it might not work for her,i replace it with something else and keep the current one for another spontaneous occation.My lady goes through alot of changes as far as her needs and wants go,so i always go with the flow and so far i have not failed in always giving her a gift that she adores on valentines day,as long as i stick to clothes and jewelry.

A bottle of perfume to go with a piece of apparel goes along way in consolidating the gift and i do so believe in mixing it up and she loves it alot.A lone gift will not work,you have to move up the ladder towards the most prized gift,it makes it fun and meaningfull because what i am telling her is that i appriciate all the fun and love she brings into my life.Its not all about the actual gifts that i have shopped for her that matter most.Its the way i present them to her and buying several items for her makes it a valentines day worth waiting for because she rewards back in return in one huge joyous way.

You build it. It's yours. So when your score harms your ability to get a loan or insurance coverage, it seems only fair that you get to see that score you've built -- without having to pay to do so.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, often called the "Dodd-Frank Act" or the "Wall Street Reform Act," will allow you to do just that. The new law, named for its authors (Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., and Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.), will go into effect in the summer of 2011. It will give consumers free access to their credit scores when financial institutions use their scores against them.

What is the Dodd-Frank Act?

You may already know that your credit score can affect your ability to qualify for loans -- but it can also be a key ingredient to obtaining insurance coverage and landing a good rate.

The Dodd-Frank Act requires lenders and insurance companies that use credit scores to assess potential customers to provide free credit scores to any customers against whom they take an "adverse action."

You still will have the right to a free annual credit report -- but once the Dodd-Frank Act is set in motion, insurers will be required to give you your credit score for free if it hurts your insurance coverage. As a result, consumers will be on familiar terms with the consequences of their credit scores and can start tending to any problems before trying again to apply for coverage.

Why does an insurance company care about my credit score?

In insurance, credit scores are used to help predict how risky it is to cover someone. Your score, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), offers insurance companies information about you and your credit experiences, like your bill-paying history, the number and type of accounts you have, whether you pay your bills by the due date, your debt and the age of your accounts. Using a statistical program, creditors compare that information to the loan repayment history of consumers with similar profiles, according to the FTC.

Bad credit may affect your ability to get a good rate and can sometimes prevent you from obtaining coverage at all. In the eyes of your insurance company, being irresponsible with your money could indicate you'll be irresponsible with your car, property and health.

Using your credit score might seem unfair. But, according to 2009 testimony by Robert Hartwig, president of the Insurance Information Institute, using your credit score is a "proven, accurate, objective and consistent risk assessment tool" for home and auto insurance.

Why should I care about my credit score?

For some, obtaining their credit score could be an eye-opening experience. They might not realize how their actions affected their score, or they may come to find out they've been victims of identity theft. As many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year, the FTC estimates. And some may not realize they are identity theft victims until they see their credit scores.

No one wants to be turned down for coverage or charged a high rate for insurance. But if this happens based on an undesirable credit score, you soon will be able to see where you should start rebuilding before shopping for insurance quotes.

]]>Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:42:41 -0500http://www.onlineshoppingshopper.com/3/post/2011/03/online-shopping-trends.htmlThe Pew Internet and American Life Project. Since 1999, this organization has examined how people’s internet use affects their families, communities, health care education, work place and political life.


Data presented about how the internet has changed our ecosystem. One set of statistics stood out for the insurance industry and online shopping. Over 50% of the population now has broadband internet access from the home and 1/3 of the population is getting financial information online. But what he sees is a merging of methods for shopping. More and more people are window shopping, performing comparative shopping online. However, after shopping, they expect to go to a physical place and meet with real human beings. Research online, but close the deal in person. He also has determined people researching financial information online are willing to be influenced. This bodes well for the independent insurance sales person. Help people find you online, but then meet with the consumer and convince them to buy your products.

Another strong take away from his research was a listing of ecosystem changes; none of these are profound but taken as a group, it gives a view of how our world is changing. There is an increasing:
• velocity of information
• number of venues to get information (phone, IM, iphone, ipod, lap top, email)
• ability to filter in or out just the information we want
• voice — meaning now everyone has one (for example, blogs like this)
• continuous partial attention (we are always plugged in to everything and rarely give our complete attention to anything)
and
• social networks. I have always thought independent agents would benefit most from an insurance agent social network. We blogged about the Sexy Insurance social network last year, and there are insurance forums springing up. I hope we see more, and in the past, we even thought we could help in this area. Please comment with social networks you are using and we’ll publicize them so more agents can get on board.

Raine is a captivating speaker and he is much younger looking than other bloggers have reported. (can’t trust all bloggers for certain). Previous to joining Pew, Raine was managing editor of U.S. News & World Report.

1. Sprint Nextel
2. Comcast
3. Bank of America
4. AT&T
5. Time Warner Cable

Aside from poor service, MSN pointed out another poke in the eye: That these organizations realize how tough it is to make the jump to another provider of a similar service.

Just think about it: cell phone companies charge early termination fees, there are only a handful of cable/internet providers in a given area, and switching financial institutions is, in a word, cumbersome:



Bank of America, second on our list, can’t resist making acquisition after acquisition, setting in motion a painful process for its acquired customers. Just Monday, Bank of America said it would pay $21 billion for Chicago’s LaSalle Bank, a deal The Wall Street Journal said would raise Bank of America’s share of U.S. deposits to 10%. The less choice you have, the less pressure companies will feel to offer quality service.

The less choice you have, the less pressure companies will feel to offer quality service.

I think this is one area where insurance companies stand apart. While there are some major captive agencies dominating the playing field, competition is alive and very much kicking in this industry. In fact, customer service is one way in which agencies–especially smaller outfits–can distinguish themselves from their competitors.

At InsureMe, we take a lot of pride in our customer service and have found the positive feedback about our service to be a great selling point when we’re talking to providers about our service. You’ll see our poll numbers touted on “About Us” literature (ahem, 96% “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their customer service rep), and we’re fond of saying our response time rivals 911.

Of course, all of this builds brand love and loyalty. It also builds internal evangelism. Because when your customers are happy, employees are happy and motivated to keep them that way.

For more good customer service fodder, check out MSN’s Customer Service Hall of Fame, which details how larger corporations train their service members to empathize with customers. It’s a fun, inspiring read.

]]>Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:34:07 -0500http://www.onlineshoppingshopper.com/3/post/2011/03/whats-driving-you-crazy.htmlAre your coworkers stressing you out? Is there someone in your office who absolutely drives you bonkers–and sends your blood pressure through the roof–with their annoying jargon, constant gossip or inconsiderate behavior? Or maybe you’re fed up with slow computer systems, arctic office temperatures or equipment that never seems to work properly?

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. A new survey conducted in London by Opinium research reveals that something drives most everyone crazy at work–whether or not it’s discussed openly.

Discussed in a recent Reuters article, the survey shows that nearly two-thirds of respondents said they were stressed out over various office irritations–and one in 10 have actually left a job because the stress became too overwhelming.

What kinds of things tend to drive people crazy in their work environments? Top responses include:

• Grumpy or moody colleagues (37 percent)
• Slow computers (36 percent)
• Office gossip (19 percent)
• Use of annoying jargon, like ”Think outside the box,” “Drill down to a more granular level,” “Bring your A-game” (18 percent)
• Not showing up for meetings on time–or at all (16 percent)
• Not cleaning up after oneself in the kitchen (15 percent)

Do any of these issues strike a chord with you? If so, how do you deal with frustrating situations at work?

Do you…

a.) confront the party at fault head-on?

b.) vent to your coworkers behind the person’s back?

c.) suffer in silence, wishing they would just quit their job so you wouldn’t have to deal with it anymore?

d.) fire the person (if you’re the boss) when you just can’t stand it anymore?

At one time or another, we’ve all grumbled and moaned about selfish, uncaring coworkers who make our lives miserable–or malfunctioning office equipment that stalls our productivity.

If you’re an agent or broker dealing with unpleasant situations like these in business, remember, you’re not alone. And if you’ve found ways to help diffuse the situation, cope with it or move on, please feel free to share! We’d love to hear from you.
