I think this sounds like a pretty fun idea — if I were single, I’d definitely think about participating! It seems that Whirlpool and a dating service called PerfectMatch.com are working together to promote a series of “Spin Cycle” singles parites. According to the promo page I linked to, the point of the parties is to be able to meet other singles in your area while also testing out the latest Whirlpool appliances. In order to entice people out to the parties, these companies will also be giving away prizes.
As I said, it does sound like fun and would be a nice break from the bar scene. I just hope that the two companies involved don’t ruin the event by making it too heavy on advertising and/or sales pressure. In other words, I wouldn’t want to go out to one of those parties thinking I would have a good time only to have to fill out a registration card and get bombarded with phone calls or emails from Whirlpool and PerfectMatch.com. I’ll be following up on these parties to see what participants had to say about them.
