Best Reason Not to Hang Up on Telemarketers

Tammadge Market Research

There seems to be a checklist of qualifying Austinite experiences: swimming at Barton Springs, sighting a celebrity, guinea-pigging at PPD … and participating in a focus group at Tammadge Market Research. Those who haven’t hung up on the cheery Tammadge spiel have learned that no, they’re not selling anything; in fact, they want to give you cash, if only you’ll share a little time and a lot of opinions. Through Tammadge focus groups, locals have shaped many an ad campaign and product improvement. Some have even been paid to drink beer. Having been in town for almost 20 years and having had at least one celebrity among them – a certain member of the Flaming Lips – Tammadge callers surely qualify as some sort of Austin institution. So remember, next time you get the call – there could be a rock star on the other end wanting to give you 50 bucks.
