Use RFM Analysis to Segment Customers

Use RFM Analysis to Segment Customers

Segment your clients automatically by their purchase behavior using RFM Analysis. This powerful tool helps businesses identify and target key customer segments for effective marketing and engagement strategies.


What is RFM Analysis?

RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) analysis is a customer segmentation method that evaluates customers based on their purchasing behavior:

  1. Recency:

    • Measures how recently a customer made their last purchase.

    • Customers with recent purchases are more likely to buy again as your brand is still top-of-mind.

    • For example, a car company may only expect one purchase every 10 years, whereas an online retailer may see multiple purchases in a week.

  2. Frequency:

    • Tracks how often a customer makes purchases.

    • Frequent buyers indicate strong loyalty and consistent engagement.

  3. Monetary Value:

    • Evaluates how much a customer spends over a given period.

    • High spenders may purchase less frequently but tend to invest in premium products or services.

By scoring customers on these three factors, businesses can objectively rank and segment their audience for targeted marketing campaigns.
