Today’s Online Dating Industry

In 2015, consumers are just as easily found sitting at a keyboard as walking down an aisle, and the online dating industry is no exception.  Online Dating is a multi-billion dollar industry.  While a few corporations such as industry leader Interactive Corp and familiar brands such as eHarmony and Zoosk, together receive 45.2% of the industry’s annual revenue, the remainder is earned by smaller operations with one or two employees who provide services exclusively to local markets. 

 

The best dating sites of 2015 include a mixture of old and new brands in the industry.  Ranked by consumers, the following dating sites are reported by Consumer-Rankings.com to be the absolute leaders in the industry:

 

#1.       Zoosk.com     Recommended for singles between the ages of 18 and 50, Zoosk.com was                                       not only the editors’ pick in the “best for matchmaking category with a 9.8 out                                                of 10 rating, but the popular dating site has also garnered a little over 4 out of                           5 stars from visitors to the ranking site.

 

#2.       Match.com     One of the most recognizable brands, Match.com is recognized by                                                    Consumer-Rankings.com as the best site for “singles seeking the most                                             matches.”  With a 9.7 out of 10 editors’ ranking and a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars                                           from submitted reviews, the magic started by this company in 1995 shows no                          sign of fading away.

 

#3.       OurTime.com Those seeking relationships with singles over the age of 50 will likely have                                        their best luck at OurTime.com.  Rated “best for mature singles,” this site                                          received a 9 out of 10 rating and almost 4.5 out of 5 stars from visitors,                                      helping OurTime.com beat out eHarmony.com for the #3 spot on this site’s                                        rankings.        

The future of the online dating industry appears as bright as ever as innovation continues to push leaders in every industry to evolve in order to reach their target markets.  For the dating industry and others, this evolution involves making services already available at the click of a mouse even more convenient through the use of mobile applications.  Mobile dating apps such as Tender, Hinge, and Hitch allow you to bring the convenience of online dating everywhere you go.  These are the first three apps from a “10 Best Smartphone Dating Apps” list on TomsGuide.com which are available for both iOS and Android.

 

So why are so many online dating startups successful?  Apart from protecting the identities of their clients, preventing fraud from scammers and spammers etc., and providing a clean, safe, trustworthy environment to users, these successful startups never underestimate the value of top-quality image and/or content moderation.  This attention to detail makes them unique and allows them to be leaders in the industry and to win the hearts of their users.
