NY POST -- Jan 19 -- Starbucks and Yahoo! Personals will announce the start of a new relationship today. The coffee giant will give away $10 Starbucks gift cards to people who register for the Internet dating site through Feb. 19. The site will have a location finder for the nearest Starbucks store.
Mark Brooks: That's a good start on a great potential relationship. I was wondering when Starbucks would cotton on and seek out a deal with a dating company. I recommend the 'coffee date' as the ideal first quick-date after meeting someone online.
Yahoo!Personals' alliance with Starbucks is such a coup! Easily on par with Match.com taking on Dr. Phil, yet completely different. I LOVE that if you subscribe to Yahoo! Personals, you get a Starbucks card loaded with $10! Is that a deal or what??? Great imaginative thinking on both Yahoo! Personals' and Starbucks' part. I'd love to see more of this.
