uk.Amoureux.com : The French Touch to Dating Conquers Britain

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 30, 2004 --

Amoureux.com was launched in France in 1997 by David Body who was joined in this adventure by Philippe Apter in 1999. The site has been growing in importance ever since. In September 2004, a Spanish version and a German version also became available and now it's time for the British version to be launched. The commercial strategy remains the same : a free service on the web and a paying service on mobile phones (hopefully soon available in Great-Britain, talks are on the way). "Our position in France is now very strong and we are able to intensify our international development", says David Body, co-founder and director of Amoureux.com.

Members can create their profile, write a text, add up to 7 photos and their video. They can do multicriteria searches to find the perfect match for them; they can send and receive messages to and from other members and they go and get to know other members in the chat room, and all this for free. They also receive e-mails to notify them of any new member that matches their criteria. Soon members will also be able to send e-cards, love declarations, get loads of information on marriage, do fun quizzes, get their daily love forecast and lots more...

Philippe Apter admits that the investment for the international versions has cost a few hundred thousand euros in 2004. The site has 1.78 millions members in its data base, of which 270,000 are active members of the web service. Amoureux.com's turn-over should be between 1 million and 1.5millions euros this year, which represents a growth of 100% compared to last year. The dating site hopes for a similar growth for 2005.
