The Business of Love

Business Daily

Available for over a year

What is the price of love, that's the question today's programme addresses. Online dating was one of the first businesses on the web and is still going strong - but how well does it actually work? Can you really find love online? Business Daily turns cupid to find out. We have set up a very special date - with an expert in falling in love. Plus fancy a cherry blonde? We discover how online dating has become increasingly specialised with an interview with Mark Lesnick who runs iDate 2013, an international dating industry conference which starts today in Las Vegas.
