OSL & OneGoodLove Partner on Diversity Rewards Program

ORANGEBURG, N.Y., March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — OSL Holdings (www.oslholdings.com), Inc. (OTCQB: OSLH) (“OSL” or the “Company”), a developer of technology platforms that enable real-time sales and trend information exchange between brands and retailers, today announced a new partnership with OneGoodLove (www.onegoodlove.com), an online dating site created specifically to serve the relationship-minded gay and lesbian community, for its diversity rewards program.

Through its new partnership, OSL Holdings will work with this major dating site to bring value to the 200,000 members through distribution of up to $10,000,000 in rewards currency that members can use in their community at retailers, restaurants and other establishments that will

accept rewards.   Together they also will create unique, customized promotional programs supporting OneGoodLove and their member base, while driving redemption of rewards. The promotional programs will work to generate both subscribers and revenue for OneGoodLove, while at the same time adding members, redemption and revenue for OSL.

“OSL is excited to add OneGoodLove to its partner roster and have the ability to provide value to its over 200,000 focused consumers who will be driven to utilize rewards through target promotions,” mentioned Bob Rothenberg, President of OSL Holdings.

Once partnered with OSL Holdings’ rewards program, brands can gain immediate access to consumers looking to redeem rewards as well as the ability to promote their products or services to millions of rewards

members.   Additionally, retailers enrolled have the option to change their promotion to rewards members in real time to focus on any relevant incentives.

The OSL Holdings rewards program also offers additional revenue streams for those businesses that issue rewards to their customers who then redeem those rewards at other retailers or businesses. The rewards program generates revenue to OSL through a transaction fee on all rewards usage at retail locations. Additionally OSL partners can issue rewards with ease while driving a revenue stream from their member bases through focused promotion on how members can use their rewards.

“We see this as a great benefit to members as well as a way to promote OneGoodLove. Our goal was to create unique programs that provide an incentive for new members to join our online dating community while also working with OSL & partners to provide a value and program for existing members,” said Nicholas Marlin, Director of Love at OneGoodLove.

OSL Holdings continues its momentum in building important media and event partners to help launch their rewards program. OSL’s rewards program launches this summer nationwide.

OneGoodLove.com Announces Valentine’s 2013 “LGBT State of the Date Report”

65% of LGBT Singles More Likely to Desire Marriage As States Pass Marriage-Rights Laws

Los Angeles, CA – February 11, 2013—OneGoodLove.com (www.onegoodlove.com), the Internet’s leading relationship-focused online dating service for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) singles, announced today the release of its Valentine’s 2013 “LGBT State of the Date Report.” The report, based on a survey of over 500 LGBT singles using OneGoodLove, as well as analysis of the stated dating preferences of OneGoodLove’s more than 150,000 members, is a Valentine’s Day snapshot of LGBT dating experiences today.

Gay And Lesbian Daters Are Optimistic About Love And Marriage

Eighty-seven percent of LGBT singles surveyed are optimistic they will find love in 2013, with 39% reporting they are “very” or “extremely” optimistic. Lesbians are slightly more optimistic than gay men.

Sixty-five percent of gay and lesbian singles report that as states pass laws providing same-sex marriage rights, they find themselves more likely to consider marriage as their long-term dating goal. Gay men (68%) were more likely than lesbians (58%) to say this.

Somewhat contradictory, when oneGoodLove.com members are asked directly by other members about their relationship goal, only 8% claim “I am looking for marriage.” LGBT singles, like their hetersexual counterparts, may not want to scare away prospective romantic partners by making marriage the topic of first date conversations.

What LGBT Singles Want

When asked about the one quality that might make them fall in love with a romantic partner, 64% of gay men indicated it was someone who made them feel special, 23% indicated a great sense of humor, 7% indicated attractiveness, and 5% indicated intelligence.

Forty-five percent of lesbians report sense of humor as the one quality most likely to make them fall in love, followed by 42% who might fall in love with a woman who made them feel special. Eleven percent of lesbians might fall in love with a woman due to her intelligence.

Not a single lesbian (0%), and only 1% of gay men surveyed, said being good in bed was the quality most likely to make them fall in love with a potential romantic partner.

Eighty-seven percent of OneGoodLove members are open to meeting a partner with an ethnicity different from their own.

Forty-one percent reported that they wanted children one day.

Almost half of LGBT singles don’t want to date a drinker, and 64% of gay men, and 60% of lesbians, don’t want to date a smoker. Smoking status was the matching criteria rated most important to oneGoodLove singles.

Fifty-two percent of OneGoodLove singles said their ideal first date is a dinner date.

Thirty-six percent of gay men, and 41% of lesbians, are willing to travel 50 miles to meet the right date.

Technology and LGBT Dating

LGBT singles reported they are more flirtatious in person (37%), or while texting (36%), than they are using email (15%), while on Facebook (6%), or over the phone (6%). Not a single LGBT person reported they were the most flirtatious on Twitter (0%), which was one of the possible answers.

When asked their opinion regarding the worst romantic transgression made with technology or social networks, 55% of LGBT singles said breaking up with someone via text or email. 13% said changing your relationship status on your social network to “single” before notifying the person you were dating about the change. 11% said cyber stalking a potential romantic partner, and 10% said speaking badly in your social networks about an ex.

What Moms and Dads Want for LGBT Singles

When asked to report what their parents, “deep in their hearts,” hoped the ultimate outcome of their dating lives would be, 73% of LGBT singles said said their parents would want them to be in a happy, loving relationship with someone of the same sex, while 23% said their parents would prefer them to be in a heterosexual relationship, even if it wasn’t loving or fulfilling. Four percent reported their parents would want them to be in a loving relationship, fully out as a transgender man or woman.

Lesbians were more likely (32%) to say their parents would want them to be in a heterosexual relationship, even if it wasn’t loving or fulfilling, than were gay men (20%).

“As same-sex marriage rights are achieved state by state, and with a president who has unequivocally stated he is on the side of full rights and equality for the LGBT community, there’s never been a  more promising Valentine’s season for LGBT singles hoping to find their one special someone,” said Frank Mastronuzzi, Co-founder and Chief Love Officer at OneGoodLove.com.  Mastronuzzi is featured inDan Slater’s just-released book, Love in the Time of Algorithms, which looks at the development of the online dating industry and what technology means for the future of relationships. "
