Anastasia International Improves Features for its Introduction and Romance Tour Website

BANGOR, Maine, USA, December 9, 2006 – Anastasia International, the leading introduction and romance tour company for Russia and the CIS, has recently made several improvements to its website. Based in Bangor, Maine in the US, Anastasia International has provided an online platform for introduction and communication between men from the US (and the EU) and women from Russia and other CIS countries such as Ukraine and Belarus for more than 10 years. The recent improvements by Anastasia International focused-on areas of the site most commonly used by members, including the incoming email page and payment system.

“Over the last 8 years we have worked hard to constantly introduce features that make the site easier for our members to use”, said Elena Sykes, CEO of Anastasia International. She continued, “We feel it’s important that our members can focus-on their dating, rather than trying to understand unnecessary features. All our new features were designed with direct input from our members”.

Email correspondence is an essential part of Anastasia International’s service. Therefore the management team decided to greatly improve features in design and functionality for the email account sections used by members.

• It is not uncommon for Anastasia International members to receive hundreds of emails a month and soon it becomes complicated to find a necessary letter. Now every read letter is accompanied by a two-sentence preview.
• Every received email is now provided with a photo and summary of the sender’s profile, therefore saving the member time. They can learn the essential information about the sender without opening their entire profile page.
• In addition, now every member receives a Birthday Notification Letter for every profile on their Favorites List. This helps remind members of important dates that can assist in making a good impression by sending a card or flowers via AnastasiaWeb.

Another improvement includes our payment system. If Anastasia International members have spent all their credits or their account falls below a certain amount of credits, they can now have their account automatically replenished.

In the summer of 2006 Anastasia International launched its Apartment Rental Service, which quickly became very popular. The Apartment Rental Service is still new but members can already choose the comfort and privacy of staying in an apartment in 13 cities across Russia and the CIS. To make the service more attractive and to further develop the relationship with our member community, AnastasiaWeb made an attractive offer to regular clients of the Apartment Rental Service. After a member makes their first reservation, all future reservations will receive a 5% discount.

Anastasia International looks forward to offering even more improvements in the near future.
