RFM segmentation categorizes customers based on recency, frequency, and monetary value of their purchases into 11 segments. This proven framework helps you identify your most valuable customers, at-risk segments, and growth opportunities. For example, target high-frequency buyers with VIP campaigns or reengage customers who haven’t purchased recently. Trigger segmented marketing campaigns to drive customer loyalty and revenue per visitor.
