#1: What is Conjoint Analysis
Type of Trade-off Analysis methodology
Developed over the past 50 years by market researchers and statisticians to predict the kinds of decisions consumers will make about products by using questions in a survey.
Conjoint analysis questions presents a series of possible products to consumers and asks them to make a choice about which one they would pick.
The central idea: For any purchase decision consumers evaluate or “trade-off” the different characteristics of a product and decide what is more important to them.
SurveyAnalytics uses Discrete Choice Conjoint Analysis which best simulates the purchase process of consumers
Why use Conjoint Analysis?
-It will help you evaluate new products or variations against an existing range of products already offered by your company or within the marketplace.
-It’s much cheaper than developing new products for the marketplace with no guarantee of success.
-Get real-time feedback on new products or variations of existing products.
-Simulates the decisions your target consumers would make in the market place.
-Gives you an idea how a new product with be received in the marketplace.
-Gauge the affect on the choice/price relationship relativeto existing products and features presented.
Analysis: How do we come up with our #s?
1) SurveyAnalytics uses Multinomial Logistic Regression for part worth (Utility Value) calculations.
*Variables in question are nominal & have 2 + categories *Used cases where the response is not ordinal in nature
EXAMPLE: Determine what factors predict which major college students choose (2) SurveyAnalytics use an Orthogonal Profile Generation function *Any set of attributes will have a minimal set of profiles that can be generated to form a balanced design.
Have greater confidence in the results you receive!
Conjoint Analysis Core Concepts:
1)Attributes/Feature: Define the attributes of the products for your market. These are the properties of your product.
Seattle Tourism Study: #Hours, Time of Day, Tour Type
2) Levels: The different properties of the attributes. Define at least two levels
for each of the attributes.
Seattle Tourism Study: Hours - 3 levels
Time of day - 4 levelsTour Type: 5 levels
3) Utility Value or Part Worth functions: These are what are produced by the conjoint analysis. These can then be used to determine how important an attribute is to the purchase or choice process and in “market simulations”.
Utility Value of Hrs on Tour:1-2hrs = .392-4hrs = .454-6hrs = .32
4) Relative importance: How important an attribute is in the purchasing/choice decision ?
Of all features to go on tour: Type of tour determined which one most chosen
#2: When & Why to Choose SurveyAnalytics Over Sawtooth Software:
Discrete Choice Conjoint Analysis
Flexible pricing available (Contact Esther)
Most User-friendly Conjoint Tool In The Market
Real-time Reporting
Pricing includes integrated research tools that would enhance efficiencies and depth and research strategies
Dedicated account management and support included
#3 How to Set up a Conjoint Analysis Question
1-Set up Features/Attributes
2-Set up Levels forEach attributes
EXAMPLE:
Feature: HoursLevels: 1-2hr, 2-4hr
#4 How to Set up a Conjoint Analysis Parameters
3- Set up Prohibited Pairs
The engine will not display two levels that have been marked as "Prohibited" in the same concept (as a product) for the user to choose.
#4 How to Set up a Conjoint Analysis Question: Parameters
Example: A Weird Seattle Tour will never be 4-6 hrs long

choices will be presented to the respondents when your survey is actually deployed. Use as Guidance

Market Segmentation Simulator
Gives you the ability to "predict" the market share of new products and concepts that may not exist today.
Ability to measure the "Gain" or "Loss" in market share based on changes to existing products in the given market.
Important steps in Conjoint Simulation:
1- Describe/Identify the different products or concepts that you want to investigate. We call "Profiles".
Example: Tour Type: Weird, Hours: 1-2 , Time of Day: Evening
2- Find out all the existing products that are available in that market segment and simulate the market share of the products to establish a baseline.
3-Try out new services and ideas and see how the market share shifts based on new products and configurations.
Setting up a Simulator
1) Click on Online tools >>Name Simulator Profile>>change profiles
2) Click on to see results!
Results: Simulator Output Defined The market simulator uses utility values to project the probability of choice and hence the market share
Now that we know how to use this . .
What can we askand find out with the Market Segmentation Simulator?
Market Segmentation Simulator
Quick Example: What happens if have a tour of 1-2 hours as opposed to 4-6 hours in the afternoon for “Weird Seattle” ?
Answer: We find that the 1-2 hour tour would attract about 75% of the market share.
# 8 BEST PRACTICES: Tips for A Successful Conjoint Analysis Project
You must use qualitative research first!What are the top attributes? What range? What language?
-A focus group or surveys with open-ended questions will help define your top attributes needed for your study-Use Crowd-sourcing tools: IdeaScale

Best Practices: Where to Begin?
Sample size is a question that comes up very frequently. Richard Johnson, one of the inventors of conjoint analysis, has presented the following rule of thumb for sample size in choice based conjoint:
(nta/C) > 1000
Where n = the number of respondents x t= the number of tasks x a=the number of alternatives per task / C= the largest number of level for any one attribute.
So if you have 500 respondents, 3 tasks per respondent, 2 alternatives per task and the maximum number of levels on an attribute is 3 you get:
(500 x 3 x 2) / 3 = 1000
Generally speaking sample sizes tend to be around 200 – 1200 respondents, admittedly a wide range. 300 comes up most often for a single homogeneous group of subjects.

Best Practices: Sample Size to start with?
Keep the options clear and simple as possible
No more than 10-12 trade-off exercises (5-7 standard)No more than 5-6 attributesKeep the ranges simple You can ask more intimate questions of current customers than potential customers, but don’t let that stop you from trying!
Follow general good online survey techniques Test your surveyMake it clear responses are kept strictly confidentialKeep survey to 15-20 minutesProvide incentives
