Cross tabulation is the beginning of the exploration of the survey data allowing us to put together the story the information is revealing.
Regression analysis helps us pinpoint factors that drive consumer interest in an idea or the delivery of a service. It also provides us with the ability to conduct Derived Importance analyses which can define critical "turning points" in a consumer's interest in a brand, service or concept.

Multiple Discriminate Analysis, Homogeneity Analysis, Multi-Dimensional Scaling are all useful tools in fleshing out and simplifying the complexity of consumer motivation and behavior.
