“With an average of 8,000 new user sign-ups per day during the 4th quarter 2014, Kiwibox’s strategy to grow its user community through its selective viral marketing program is showing amazing results”, stated Andre Scholz, Kiwibox’s CEO and President. “During this winter season”, continued CEO Scholz, “our North American membership has increased tremendously, mainly due to our new social media offerings and sharing features that we integrated into our website and mobile apps”.

Kiwibox.com expects to report its audited financial results for 2014 on the 31st March, 2015.


Market Position

The Kiwibox Network is in a unique position because it combines the excitement of a dating community with the benefits and accessibility of a real social network. The Kiwibox Network encourages members to explore local events in their area, connect with other members and enjoy the additional member exclusive benefits the social network is offering, such as games, blogging, chatting, picture-sharing and online-flirting. This community behavior binds users to the platform and is the base for our viral marketing.


Technology Development

The Kiwibox Network is focusing on the fast growing mobile usage phenomenon, being online with friends everytime and everywhere. The Kiwibox Network has released multiple updates in the 4th quarter for its iOS and Android Applications. At present, more than 600,000 company Apps are installed in our social media marketplace. Our entire Eventpage was redesigned in Q4 2014, targeted to generate income based on direct advertisement sales with partners and not through the Banner Ads market. In 2015 Kiwibox plans to optimize the Ads-Sales by organizing a department dedicated to target group based editorial and exclusive Ads-Sales.
