Paid Marketing Research Participation

E-mail sent expressing interest. Ryan

 

my daughter is in brooklyn, might be a good excuse for a visit!

 

Email sent. Would we be allowed to share our experience of the research?

 

Email sent to you (in response to your Private Message to me), expressing my interest in participating in your project.

 

Boo, my experience with them is they are not professional. After I answer their questions twice in emails, they informed me that I don't qualify because I have 2006 model. The same exact gen as yours.

They also PM again after the email exchanges. I consider that SPAM! I believe it is against PC rule. Mods, feel free to jump in if it is not the case.

 

I'm all the way across the state, near Buffalo.
Too far for me!

 

Will be participating in this survey and have already been qualified and given an appointment date of 9/21. Am very intrigued and interested in this research program.

 

usbseawolf2000, the experience I had was quite different than yours. I was called on the phone by one of their representatives, and was given a qualifying questionnaire during my lunch break. After a few minutes, all was done, was given some information on what to bring with me for my appointment, and just awaiting further instructions to be sent to me in the next few days.

Perhaps you should try getting a hold of them by telephone?

 

Hey Paradox,

I'm not sure where the location is yet. I was told that I'll be getting an e-mail within the next few days regarding where the meeting will take place. My guess would be somewhere in the downtown area (DeKalb or Atlantic Ave.) I'll post up as soon as I get info.

Funny that you live in SI, and work in Bay Ridge. I live in Sheepshead Bay, and work in Perth Amboy NJ. Commute everyday across the Verrazano Bridge to the Outerbridge crossing. I probably see you sometime on the SI Expressway when I'm stuck in traffic.

 

Where do you all bring your Prii in to be serviced? What kind of experience do any of oyu have with Bay Ridge Toyota?

 

Paradox -- Well, I'm usually going against the typical traffic. But let me tell you, if in fact there is a slight accident (or worse), the Expressway going into 440 turns into a parking lot. There have been two occasions where I've been stuck for 3+hours !!! at a time. And since there's such a volume of cars that get caught, you can't drive around and go another way. It can be quite frustrating at times.

It would be great if by any chance to meet up with fellow Prius Chatters with this market research event. Haven't had a chance to chat with fellow members outside a chat window.

Ryanpl -- I actually don't service my Pri in the city. My folks have a house in Upstate, New York and I actually purchased and service my vehicle at Johnston's Toyota in Monticello. With the few times I've been there for regular maintenance (and one time for them to clear out the air intake because of debris caused by mice playing around with the cabin air filter), I've never went anywhere else. Their service is quite good, and I would highly recommend them to anyone near the area. Then again, it's about a good 90 miles away from the city!

As for Bay Ridge Toyota, I'm not familiar with them so I can't say.
