Marriage Wise is serving an underserved market of those who are either divorced, separated, widowed or marrying late in life through a very high touch, consultative and professional approach. This segment of matrimonial hopefuls has always had challenges in searching, identifying and most importantly, trusting the potential partners. Marriage Wise is definitely very good news for this segment! The thing which we like most about Marriage Wise is that they are very focused on the overall education and knowledge dissemination on nearly all the aspects of marriage – and not just on generating revenues through match-making. The knowledge resources available on the site and the blog will be useful for not only those who are looking out for potential partners but also those who are already married so that they can enhance the quality of their relationships. The area in which we assist Marriage Wise – background verifications – is something which they have mandatorily included in the screening of the candidates. This definitely helps a lot in building up the trust element. We are happy to see the value which they placed on this key aspect of matrimony. The site itself is very professional looking, pleasing to the eye and easy to navigate around. The services cover the entire gamut of matrimony – right from pre-screening, compatibility tests, match making and pre-marriage counselling. The different plans, ranging from Free Trial to Self Service to Match Assured and Happiness Plan, ensure that there is something for every type of user. As mentioned before, the site resources are exhaustive and help different types of viewers to learn various aspects around matrimony. Live chat integration provides instant responses to any query. The payment methods include a variety of ways to pay for the services signed up for. Overall, Marriage Wise seems very well positioned to serve this market with many compelling services and unique selling proposition. We wish them all the luck in their endeavours. |
