MIAMI, July 25, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Integrated Enterprises, a mobile marketing and direct response communications holding company based in Miami, and its subsidiary Love In A Flash, LLC announce the acquisition of Rapid Dating, Inc., a fast-growing singles company that has proven to be the most powerful way to meet quality people in a safe, non-threatening environment.
Founded by dating coach extraordinaire Renee Piane, author of Love Mechanics, in California (2002), Rapid Dating, Inc. swiftly expanded to Arizona in early 2002, and has continued its national growth to include Delaware, Georgia, Ohio, Florida and Philadelphia, becoming 'the' power tool to boost singles' social circles, allowing them to begin quality dating in a very short period of time.
The company has successfully matched thousands of professional singles without the pressures of bar scenes, blind dates and Internet overload. The unique Rapid Dating(r) concept makes it easy for people to know whether there's a connection in only 5 minutes. The first impression is a lasting one and Rapid Dating(r) saves time, money and frustration because the person knows the people they meet are single, available, age-appropriate and looking to connect with other like-minded singles.
Integrated Enterprises brings years of marketing and direct response savvy in the areas of products and services. The company is eager to put into practice its innovative ideas to enhance its services and amplify the membership base with its technology and creative expertise. Integrated Enterprises' CEO David Greenberg is a dating/direct response industry pioneer. He produced the first interactive dating television program in 1986, which at the time was believed to be the first interactive TV show in the U.S.
Commenting on the acquisition, Mr. Greenberg stated, "We began focusing on an acquisition of an online and offline relationship-based company that would compliment our core competency of maximizing the value of website traffic, and also enhance our ability to attract cost-effective traffic. We believe that the extended media reach and enhanced client base resulting from this acquisition gives Integrated the synergies we were seeking and the added benefit of Renee Piane's operational experience, successful track record, and unique entrepreneurial spirit."
