If chilling out at Starbucks and shopping at the iTunes Store is your cup of… er… coffee, then you might want to know about Starbucks’ new promotional tactic, the “Pick of the Week”.
Starting this week, with “Washington Square” by Counting Crows (iTunes link), Starbucks visitors will be handed cards, valid for a month, that will allow them to download a hand-picked song (by the “Starbucks Entertainment Team”, not you) from the iTunes Store catalogue for free.
Given the crazy love-triangle between Starbucks, Apple and American Idol, I’m guessing the next product in the pipeline is a green-and-black Starbucks branded iPod full of all American Idol episodes till date. Anyone up for it?
