Omnibus or multiple topics research is one of the oldest methods of custom market research. It allows a population-representative sample to be taken at regular intervals by questioning private individuals in Germany and West Switzerland aged from 15 to 74. Surveys may be repeated at any time (allowing trends /developments to be recognized).

Telebus (telephone-based multiple topics questionnaire)
