People can try to find a partner themselves for a lot of money and time. Or you can hire a dating agency like this for a fixed fee PV-Exklusiv (www.pv-exklusiv.de).
A professional service costs money. Customers know this from tax advisors and lawyers, from craftsmen and hotels and, and, and. The same applies to dating. If you want a reputable partner at your side and would like to be accompanied by him in the search for the right partner, you also have to pay the consultant for this.
“We visit every customer personally, are internationally positioned and networked, do high-quality advertising in the top media and are available to our customers every day. We do everything we can to ensure success in dating,” says Markus Poniewas, consultant and manager at PV-Exklusiv (www.pv-exklusiv.de). The company, based in Düsseldorf and Mönchengladbach, is active throughout the German-speaking region and has been successfully bringing people of quality together for many years - for a shared future. “We therefore need an appropriate fee for this. We are a business company and have to make money.”
Of course, he knows that some providers work with extremely low fixed prices or comparatively cheap subscription fees. Or rather, lure, as he points out. “An online dating site, for example, costs around 100 euros per month. But if you now know, as a study has shown, that users of these online exchanges have taken out an average of two subscriptions and these last for an average of three years until they find a partner or give up in disappointment, you can easily calculate the costs. It’s easily 7000 euros – and the customer doesn’t have any personal service, but has to take care of everything themselves.”
Even placing advertisements independently in high-quality media does not necessarily save money with quick success, emphasizes Markus Poniewas. A rule of thumb is to extrapolate the number of advertisements needed to successfully complete the search for a partner to “years of life minus 20”. So a 50-year-old would have to place around 30 ads to find his partner. “Personal ads, for example in academic journals, are extremely expensive. A single advertisement, for example in an architects', physicists', doctors', lawyers' or pharmacists' magazine, can quickly cost several hundred euros. So a 100-year-old will spend around 50 euros just on ads, a 6000-year-old will spend 60 euros. And again, they are completely on their own.”
At the VIP dating agency PV-Exklusiv The following applies: “In order to offer every client the service that suits them, we do not have a uniform fee. We work individually for each person looking for a partner. “Basically, we agree on an individual fee depending on the complexity, challenge and effort,” explains Markus Poniewas. In addition, both customers and potential partners pay a fee. “This shows the seriousness of the people who respond to personal ads. In this way, we protect our customers from disappointment. People who are looking for quick adventures or want to test their market value have no chance with us.”
When it comes to the specific fee agreement - usually this is from 4500 euros - it always depends on the individual requirements of the customer - on the one hand in relation to the desired partner and on the other hand in relation to the support. “Personal VIP support is of course reflected in the price. First-class singles can be found through us, not in online exchanges. This quality comes at a price – but it’s worth it.”
