Hi Summer,

Some suggestions:

1. Where to target this demographic online? How do you acquire these women? Facebook allows exact age/gender targetting. Also look into rate cards for websites targetted at younger women, maybe Cosmopolitan magazine or others.
2. To start a site, just use a white label platform, it’s free to setup, you can select to only have members that suit that demographic (eg. only want women 18-24 to appear in the database)
3. You can’t have a dating site targetted to just women – otherwise where do you get the men from?
4. Location is important – no good having 18-24 year old women from outer mongolia.

Can you give us a bit more information about what your presentation is about? Is it about starting a dating site or is it about how to acquire women?

Hi, i need help with this question. i need to do a presentation for this question this friday and im stuck, dont even know where to start. it would be grealty appreciated if you could help. thanks.

You’ve been given a demographic profile of 18-24 year old women to launch a new dating service on the internet.What are the limitations of this profile?
In what ways might they affect the media plan if you have no other information? What else do you need to know to ensure your plan will expose the advertising to the right people efficiently and effectively?

Thanks for the reply. I keep asking myself if I should do it or not. The Niche is for the Philadelphia PA area. I do have some resources, but no experience or huge pockets to fund it. I’ve had this project on my plate for a year or so, but the market has so many players in it and keep thinking, how and why am I different? Sorry for the rant. Its a snow day and the project is on my mind.

John, depends on the niche, your experience and the resources available to you. Every person is different and there are always edge cases where something like SinglesNet comes out of nowhere.

Dave, are you saying not to start a site? Can someone really compete with the major sites? I have a niche in the area and want to start a site, but read some people saying not too and others saying I’d be dumb not too.
