經濟通 etnet – 婚配服務 多平台互補牽良緣


經濟通 etnet – 婚配服務 多平台互補牽良緣

 

助單身男女覓有緣人的服務一直有市場,據Marketdata Enterprises Inc數據,單是美國約會服務市場,年規模達25億美元(193億港元)。

婚配公司Lunch Actually創辦人林笑岏指,近年約會市場轉變很大,相關移動App使用人數持續上升。一些受歡迎的App如Tinder出現,更刺激經營以綫下服務為主的約會業務的公司,紛紛推出自家App。

約會App局限 相睇難取代

Lunch Actually開業逾10年,由一對一的線下約會相睇配對開始,逐步推出網上配對平台eSynchrony,去年更推出約會App LunchClick與顧問指導服務Lunch Actually Academy。在業界約會App雖然是焦點,但林笑岏卻指以App撮合情侶有局限,未能完全取代其他線上下配對服務:「這個業界沒有完美的平台。」

雖然App也有成功撮合愛侶的例子,但她經營1年後從用家反應發現,有人覺得在手機上選來選去再約人外出,其實很累,寧轉投相睇服務。她指婚配業務要迎合時代推出網上服務及App,但線上下要互補,以找出撮合用戶最有效的方法。例如一個不擅長在網上發信息交流的人,在App可能很難找伴,這時採用線下服務更適合。

顧問急救 客戶心態與衣着

她亦強調,App的興盛令社會更接受情侶配對,變相擴大公司業務空間。林笑岏指公司數個平台間運作獨立,但會有互相宣傳的作用,亦會向用戶推介其他平台的服務,現時有3成現有會員曾光顧多於一個平台。

約會指導服務是該公司新嘗試,皆因她發現有部分客人心態上並未準備好,導致約會多次也沒結果。「在尋找合適的對象之前,你先要成為一個合適的人(be the right one)。」公司會向客人介紹顧問服務,教客戶如何與人約會,性格分析以至提供衣着指導,未來亦有意於日後推出婚姻關係指導。

新加坡起家的Lunch Actually業務聚焦東南亞,去年收購泰國最大約會公司,短期內將進軍菲律賓與越南。各國文化差異大,林笑岏指公司會着重本地化,各地都以獨立團隊運作,主力為當地人,冀結合平台的技術與本地文化拓業務。

她透露,公司現時年收入達7位數坡元,5年內增長5倍,收益主要來自香港與新加坡,港業務佔公司收入逾3至4成。集團現時主收入來源是傳統的相睇配對,惟網上配對的佔比正上升。公司9月獲得7位數坡元的A輪融資,主要用於市場推廣及加強網上大數據平台。
