1. Low respondent burden (including width and length of the survey);
2. High accuracy in prediction to the survey initiator.

Two new terms met recently

"Conjoint Analysis" and "Hierarchical Bayes" are the two I never heard of till very recently. Both of them appear in marketing research community. Looks interesting topics, so I will pay attention on them before I can figure out more with you.
