The Australian online dating industry is a cash rich segment typically characterized by big players and an even bigger demand. But things are about to change with a shake up looming large on Australias online dating market. Consider this: an Australian publishing giant bought Australias largest online site offering dating services recently, for a sum close to $40 million! And more is sure to follow.

This is time for smaller on line players to work some magic if they are to stay in the dating business and that is not coming out of a hat. The key to Australias matchmaking industry’s success now is to innovate in the way services are offered.

Time deficient singles looking out for an easy way to find dates are the main growth-driver for Internet dating business in Australia. Online matchmaking has turned out to be the answers to these date-seekers prayers and matchmakers on line have been making hay under this sun for the last decade or so.

But without much differentiation in services, the industry is seeing fewer date seekers going on line. Therefore the biggest challenge in front of date-makers in Australia is to keep customers coming back and turning into paid members.

One strategy employed by the Australian industry is the growth of niche date-makers who offer dates on the basis of ethnicity, demographics etc. to Australias single people. These sites offer higher compatibility with chosen dates as some part of the short-listing criteria (like religion) has already been taken care of. You get a date only with a Jewish single on a site focused on the community.

One Australian site offers discreet online background checks for potential dates to take care of misrepresentation; a big reason why people are getting dissatisfied with Internet dating.
