• Key Concepts: 
  RFM analysis is a customer segmentation technique used in CRM Analytics. It stands for Recency, Frequency, and Monetary value. It is used to identify customers who are most likely to respond positively to a marketing campaign. 
  
  How to use it: 
  RFM analysis is used to segment customers into different groups based on their past purchase behavior. The three criteria used in RFM analysis are recency (how recently the customer made a purchase), frequency (how often the customer makes purchases), and monetary value (the total amount of money spent by the customer). By analyzing these three criteria, marketers can identify which customers are most likely to respond positively to a marketing campaign. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using RFM analysis, it is important to consider the context of the customer’s purchase behavior. For example, if a customer has made a large purchase recently but has not made any other purchases in the past year, they may not be as likely to respond positively to a marketing campaign as a customer who has made multiple smaller purchases over the same period of time.
