Looking for a date for Valentines day but a little short on cash?
Blenz has an interesting initiative for the month of February where coffee drinkers can opt to put a red sleeve on their beverage to let other people know they are single. The red band has four checkboxes which customers can use to specify what they are looking for: ‘friendship’, ‘casual’, ‘dating’, and ‘relationship’. On the other side of the sleeve, there is a space for name and phone number. This simple red band is an interesting way for people who are a little short on cash to meet someone new in an unlikely place.

The Blenz Red Band website not only talks about what Blenz is doing with the red coffee sleeves, but also has information on special events and contests that will be happening this month along the theme of Valentines day. Blenz also is very connected with social media by connecting with facebook, twitter, youtube, and even starting a blogging community online called the “Blenz Red Band Team” where people can share their experiences!
The red band currently is only in Vancouver (perhaps it is a pilot program for this year) but if you want to check it out, be sure to go to your local Blenz (there’s one in the UBC village) before the end of the month!
