Jill Kelleher has
been working in matchmaking for 18 years. The
company’s clients include entrepreneurs, venture
capitalists, CEOs, doctors, attorneys, writers and
producers.
Jill Kelleher informed Marketdata that female clients do pay for their service and
the mix is about 50/50 male/female. The company has
a public relations agency and a web site, and
advertises in magazines.
Ms. Kelleher
claims that her office has about 700 active clients,
some referred from other offices. Fees range from
$3,500 to $15,000, for a one-year membership. The
higher priced packages allow clients to tap into the
firm’s other offices around the country.
Ms. Kelleher said that the dating websites such as
Match.com haven’t really affected their business,
claiming that many of their clients try these
websites and become disenchanted with them. She
finds that many people registered with dating
websites are going through divorces and separations
and are in states of emotional transition—not
something that high profile executives are looking
for in a mate. She feels that some of the dating
franchises may have been hurt more by the
proliferation of new websites.
